Amazing to watch Indonesian players today.... Proud of Greysia/Meiliana,they should be the hero today, showing never die spirit, they played really well here, beat Nina/Sorokina,WPT/CEH,and Shizuka Matsuo/Mami Naito all in 2 sets....Credit must give to Firda also,showing a great determination and never die spirit eventhough lost to Eriko in 3 sets...! imagine usually we are depend on our men department to earn, this time we rely on the girl squad and they are playing like hero.... semifinal is a good result for INA, lets say we are compete with our B team, without our ace Markis/Hendra and Lilyana Natsir.... Bravo INA players... no matter win or lost in SF..proud of you..you have do your best Fran/Pia also showing a great spirit and beat the JPN XD in 3 sets! And finally INA beat JPN 3-2...
Wow. Without Taufik and Kido/Setiawan, they beat Malaysia and Japan. What a great achievement. Congratulation.
In addition of Taufik & Kido/Hendra, Indonesia also come to Sudirman Cup without Lilyana Natsir who is also injured, all of these 4 are ex-World Champs. I think this is really a good momentum to let the younger generation being expose to this kind of intense situation, hope more younger players being sent overseas to compete after this Sudirman Cup. All the best for the semifinal agains Denmark tomorrow!
I guess all the players have performed their best, except for Hayom and Simon. I am especially shocked at Hayom's attitude in losing the match to LCW.
Fran/Pia will get: 5044 pts - their ranking pts divided by 10 398.20 - Ikeda/Shiota's pts divided by 100 395 - Chan/Goh's pts divided by 100 Should be 5800++ pts from this Sudirman Cup campaign.
what I love from today's match is Polii and Jauhari there are two bears on the loose! smash after smash after that another smash, after that another SMASH!
Me too.....that's the different of playing for your country...in individual event they might not too excel.. Esp Greysia...she hardly let us down, if she play she will play till her last breath, literally....
Fiiuuh... so happy. I still can't forgive Simon's game tonite but you know... he wasn't at his best lately. Apart from that, they had played very well and really full of spirit! Even Firda played above her level I think. And for XD match, salute! All the best in semifinal!
well, congrats to Indonesia. XD,WD,WS,MD were so awesome today... for MS: we need a new "TH" or even Rudy Hartono, Liem Swie King, Alan Budikusuma, etc
I found a new fav player, it's Fran Kurniawan. He may not smash as hard and often made silly mistake, but I think a great potential
i`m so happy to for Indonesia all Indonesia player give all the best except simon (what`s wrong with you, simon???) very salute to greysia polii/meliana jauhari .... to firda, even she was lose she gave her best! fighting until last breath ... i hope they always keep spirit like this until indonesia reach Sudirman Cup!
