Ricky Karanda Tiara Rosalia Nuraidah - Mohammad Rijal Debby Susanto 14-21 21-19 18-21 Tiara is a good potential XD players. They give good fight to the current top 10 pair, Rijal/Debby
@ Sen not to mention Ricky Karanda. ricky Karanda was PON 2012 XD gold medal right? I think Ricky quite stuck at MD with Ulin. Maybe give him a try to play XD? I think this is another advantages if players allowed to play in two number. So, they can find their true potential.
Even Markus Fernaldi Gideon when paired with Liliyana Natsir can beat Rijal/Debby. That is really shocking!
Yes, I always believe among young doubles players(those currently below 23yrs old), there are going to be a few combination that will truly be world best. I mean world best, not just top 10 rank. Winning some big tournament Many of the young doubles players, male and female, are talented
@jks_niceguy Ricky Karanda/ Richi, unexpected winner of PON. Maybe they should try that combination too. I think Riki Widianto is quite good too. Don't know which is the better partner for Richi, Ricky Karanda or Riki Widianto
I think, just pair liliyana natsir up with any MD/XD men in pelatnas, you can name it,, and woalaaa .. a new world beater.
Agreed, don't quickly judge the underperformers in MD (or WD) as "no hope already" or "kick them outta Pelatnas". Try to transfer them into XD dept and see how things going. Look at Xu Chen. Toothless in MD, (almost) invincible in XD.
Agreed, CBA paired Xu Chen with Ma Jin, one of the best front court player. As time goes by Xu Chen almost unbeatable in XD. Butet is a strong front court player, however she usually have a hard time when facing MaJin or ZYL. CBA knows butet weakness is her temper, thats why Majin, ZYL really like taking their time when they about to serve to Butet. Should Butet lost her temper, lesser chance for Towi/Butet controlling the tempo, lesser chance for Towi to smash, they end up losing their game.
Butet was 20 when she became one of the best XD in the world. I think some of the current 19 or 20 years old can break the top 10 in 1 year time if given the right combination. They should not stuck with the similar age pairing. Senior-junior pairing should be tried
IMHO, for Tontowi still need experience pairing. He is still lack mental. And other, I don't much about they are perform so that cannot much saying to them..
problem here, greysia doesnt want to play in XD anymore, wanna concentrate in WD. i stilll remember it... and,when they were paired, owi/greisya are not so good.
For me Butet still the best pairing nowadays.. And she is still good for Tontowi who is less experience. Yes, I still prefer Butet with Tontowi. While Greysia split up with Meliana, looking for more agile and agressive partner. IMHO
actually, if we want to make a real world beater, best in the world, in my opinion, Ricky Karanda Suwardi is the best one to be paired with Liliyana Natsir. today he is 20 yo... will be 24 yo in Olympics 2016... golden age... just my opinion...
Ricky Karanda is so good... i bet he can do so well in XD. but should be partnered with older player...
