Btw,Finally Wang Xiaoli/Yu Yang meet the tough opponent, in R1 and R2, They only met Indonesian youngster
If Angga/Ryan continue they good perfomance, i think Angga/Ryan have good chance to go to semifinal and hopefully they can reach their second final this year.
Firda vs JYJ.. Last encounter Firda lost 15-21 21-23. Hopefully Firda still have a good stamina there, she played from Qualifying round, and R1&R2 she win in rubber set, hope she can spring an upset.
Taufik needs to go on a glucose drip immediately. Indonesia Open will not be complete without his presence in the finals!
Greysia Polii/Meiliana Jauhari vs Kamilla/Christinna.. Well, this two day Grey/Mel are trying to make INA fans heart attack esp when beating Jwala/Aswhini, also Ma Jin/Pan Pan. They will face problem from the tall Danes pair, must more careful in the net.
. Looks like these players are in good form. They could get into the Semi-Finals; * Juliane Schenk * Adrianti Firdasari (Q) * Chen Long [4] * Taufik Hidayat [3] * G.Polii/M.Jauhari [6] * V.Marissa/N.Melati * M.Kido/H.Setiawan [7] * Cai Yun/Fu Haifeng [3] * T.Ahmad/L.Natsir [4] * Laybourn/Juhl [8] .
Saina v/s Tine should be a cracker! Hope Saina's leg/knee condition is better. I noticed she still has bruising, and some sort of bandage...
In case some of the BC-ers do not know that they can see the previous day's matches here..... http://www.djarumbadminton.com/djarum-indonesia-open/gallery/video/category-list/?tx_rwflowvideo_pi1%5Bvideocat%5D=97&cHash=eebae928bc#
we all know if given choice LD won't want to play in this open. It was better to lost to a non chinese otherwise another can of worms will be opened. Imagine what will happen if he meet CJ in the q-final and lost. CW coach said in the star today 'LD was not playing at full force(against Sasaki). there was no fire in him. Maybe he is saving energy for the WC.'
