All the 4 INA BS players are through to R32, where the real matches begin. I expect at least 2 to be eliminated.
BS R32 Rohit Yadav C. [5/8] vs Fikri Ihsandi Hadmadi - the seeded IND player to progress. Panji Akbar Sudrajat [9/16] vs Chang Tak Ching - I expect Panji to fulfill his seeding. Pratul Joshi vs Thomi Azizan Mahbub [9/16] - this will be a tough match for Thomi and I also hope for him to fulfill his seeding. Arief Gifar Ramadhan vs Kento Momota [2] - it will be a miracle if Gifar can beat the AJC champion. GS R32 Sandra-Maria Jensen [9/16] vs Rina Andriani - the DEN girl to progress. Ruthvika Shivani G. vs Hanna Ramadhini [9/16] - hopefully, Hanna can fulfill her seeding. BD R64 Alex Lane/Sam Parsons vs Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo/Rafiddias Akhdan Nugroho [5/8] - the real test for Kevin/Rafi will begin in QF. GD R64 Maretha Dea Giovani/Ni Ketut Mahadewi Istirani vs Alida Chen/Kirsten Van Derk Valk - the INA pair to progress. Olga Morozova/Natalia Rogova vs Melati Daeva Oktaviani/Rosyita Eka Putri Sari [5/8] - ditto for Melati/Rosyita. XD R64 Alfian Eko Prasetya/Shella Devi Aulia [9/16] vs Bowornwatanuwong Phuttaporn/Narissapat Lam - a tricky first test for Alfian/Shella and I hope they don't fumble. Duncan Yao/Takeisha Wang vs Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo/Maretha Dea Giovani - the INA pair should breeze through the next round. Nathan Osborne/Josephine Wu vs Putra Eka Rhoma/Ni Ketut Mahadewi istirani - ditto for Putra/Ni Ketut. Koshun Miura/Akane Watanabe vs Edi Subaktiar/Melati Daeva Oktaviani [2] - also a tricky tie for the second-seed.
China looks quite strong, enough to get some medals... but i think, they will only get 1 gold, either GD or XD. Lee/Shin will be quite hard to beat in GD. and Choi/Chae will be the hot fave in XD. I dont think China can win both, only one of them or maybe none of them another chance is in GS. but dont know why, I still believe that Tai Tzu Ying will beat Sun Yu....
there is one korea girl called minji! here is the minzy i know http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXDm_Ghlm5o the last one,from 2ne1 haha
All the INA pairs breezed through R64. Now, serious stuffs will begin in R32. BD R32 Hafiz Faisal/Putra Eka Rhoma [1] vs Jeon Hyuk Jin/Seo Seung Jae - it's tough matches all the way to the Final for the top-seed, who also has the hardest draw among the 3 INA BD pairs. There's no easy match starting from the R32 clash against the Korean pair. Still. with the experience at senior tourneys given to Hafiz/Putra this year, I expect them to go far. Rodion Kargaev/Alexandr Zinchenko vs Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo/Rafiddias Akhdan Nugroho [5/8] - I also expect Kevin/Rafi to fulfill their seeding and possibly face Lee Chun Hei/Ng Ka Long [3/4] for a place in the SF. Chang Ko Chi/Liao Chi Hung vs Edi Subaktiar/Arya Maulana Aldiartama [2] - it's always tricky against any young TPE BD pair, whose standard has really gone up a lot in the past 2-3 years. I hope the AJC champion is not affected by nerves or overconfidence in the individual event. GD R32 Chochuwong Ponpawee/Alisa Sapniti vs Maretha Dea Giovani/Ni Ketut Mahadewi Istirani - not sure about this...let's hope the INA pair proves me wrong. Shella Devi Aulia/Anggia Shitta Awanda [3/4] vs Chisato Hoshi/Ayako Sakuramoto - a tricky test for the seeded INA pair. I am not sure if they can fulfill their seeding as a tough match against Narissapat Lam/Putita Supajirakul will await them in R16 even if they can beat the Japanese pair. Chang Ching Hui/Chang Hsin Tien vs Melati Daeva Oktaviani/Rosyita Eka Putri Sari [5/8] - Melati/Rosiyta should progress. XD R32 Alfian Eko Prasetya/Shella Devi Aulia [9/16] vs Pei Tianyi/Huang Dongping - I don't think the INA pair can beat the CHN pair. Wang Chi Lin/Chen Szu Yu vs Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo/Maretha Dea Giovani - not sure about this. I will not be surprised if the TPE pair wins the match. Wu Hsiao Lin/Chen Ting Yi vs Putra Eka Rhoma/Ni Ketut Mahadewi Istirani [9/16] - ditto as above. Muhd Asraf B. Ishak/Chong Fui Jin vs Edi Subaktiar/Melati Daeva Oktaviani [2] - Edi/Melati have the brightest prospect of all the XD pairs. They should progress to at least QF before meeting possibly the dangerous KOR pair Jung Jae Wook/Shin Seung Chan [5/8].
This Vietnamese pair is a dangerous one. They reached SF of AJC and beat one INA pair (Hafiz Faisal/Maretha Dea Giovani), one KOR pair (Ryu Soo Hwan/Lee Sun Min), and one MAS pair (Tan Wee Gleen/Chow Mei Kuan) en route to the SF.
