Both Jordan and Didit 'had issues' with the National Team...... Frankly, they screwed their own reputation in the eyes of the National Team, no dirty politicking there... Didit sulked and played with zero spirit in AJC a few years ago, whle Jordan thought too much of himself and didn't even come close to giving his best.... When everyone else ran a certain distance (during physical training) for 2 minutes, Jordan would just lazily jog for 4 minutes...... Yikesss..... Both are just soooo immature (yet destructive to their own career)...
Remind back in AJC 2 years ago, Didit was got minor portion in there, play XD with Gebby. Three BDs were Rendy/Angga, Ulin/Berry and "the sensational" Erickson Rusdianto and pair as INA's BD1.
Happy to see the semifinal line up in GS U-19, all of the semifinalists are still U-17 actually. Hanna Ramadhini vs Intan Dwi Jayanti Hanna who usually play in the Open Divison and sometimes in U-19 despite she is still 16 should progress to final round as expected, but Intan who won the Surabaya Open 2011 and Sirnas Bangka Belitung 2011 title, entering semifinal also considered a good achievement for her already. Setyana Mapassa vs Putri Sekarsaji Very good result for Setyana, she beat Dinar in 2 sets yesterday. I hope she can progress to final and face Hanna!
Meanwhile, an expected semifinal line up in GD U-19. Shella Devi Aulia/Anggia Shitta Awanda vs Gloria Emanuelle Widjaja/Khaeriah Rosmini. The WJC runner up should goes to final, this year Shella/Anggia only won 1 titles in sirnas, and 4 times as runner up. Ririn Amelia/Melati Daeva Oktavianti vs Aris Budiharti/Dian Fitriani Ririn/Amelia has won 3 titles in Sirnas, while Aris/Dian won the Tangkas Open and Asean Games school. Might be a tight match. Ririn/Melati has the slight edge.
XD U-19 Edi Subaktiar/Gloria Emanuelle Widjaja vs Fajar Sidik/Firas Hasna Edi/Gloria should be a better combo than Edi/Melati, i think. No problem for them to enter final round! Alfian Eko/Shella Devi Aulia vs Ade Yusuf/Ni Ketut Mahadewi New combo Alfian/Shella just beat the AJC winner Lukhi/Ririn yesterday. Hope both WJC winner Alfian Eko and Gloria will face each other in final!
So the XD U-19 final will be, Edi Subaktiar/Glorial Emanuelle Widjaya vs Ade Yusuf Santosa/Ni Ketut Mahadewi. Edi/Gloria should win this match.
XD Final will Pelatnas affair, Ricky Widianto/Richi Puspita Dili will face Irfan Fadhillah/Weni Anggraeni. With this result will Irfan/Weni will be kicked out from Pelatnas?
Setyana Mapasa won first game and expect to win the 2nd set. Should be included in next year AJC/WJC team with this result together with Hana.
