The Asian junior entry list is out. No Korea, no Thailand, No Tai Tzu Ying. Looks like China will dominate. Perhaps Malaysia (MS and MD) may give them a run for their money.

Yes..will cheering for Suci/Tiara..from latest result i thought that Vito,Arief and Panji got a better result than Riyanto..
Yeah, kinda disappointed Hanna didnt play here. Notice that this time all players in BS and GS are from pelatnas only.
Some junior players will play in ASEAN School games 2001 in same week, we don't know yet who have been selected. http://www.aseanschoolsgames2011.sg/schedule.php
Hanna and Milicent are both selected, but not part of the main team, so their clubs/parents have to pay for 'em... don't know what the response shall be from their funders.....
With no KOR players in the doubles, INA's main opponents in BD will come from MAS and CHN. Hopefully, the experience of playing in the Adults division for the past few months is beneficial to Praveen Jordan and Rangga Yave Rianto. The hot favorite for BD is still last year's WJC runner-up: Nelson Heg/Teo Ee Yi. Suci Rizki Andini and Tiara Rosalia Nuraidah also should be expected to win GD, given their experience in WD over the past 2 years. But obviously, any junior pair from CHN is not to be under-estimated.
Nelson and Ee Yi can probably win, but then both will just stop badminton and go to college, like sooo many Malaysian BD in the past......
Good news for INA in GD, gebby/TIARA and MELATI/RIRIN are qualified to main draw of Indonesia SS Premiere
LOL, I'm taking a very long time to figure what a koukou ni nen sei is, since Google doesn't translate romanji. But I suppose it means 2nd year high school students?
