2012 French(5-8 Apr) and Dutch International(12-15 Apr)

I want him to win too ... just faster . Every point he takes what seems like a minute to recover ...

 

So Heg/Teo beat Bosch/Ridder in 3 games and saved a match point (21-19 in the 3rd)

I can only put this loss down to Ruud Bosch new hair cut! Looks unrecognisable like that!

 

MS QF
Andre Kurniawan Tedjono [5] vs Loh Wei Sheng - I believe Andre will beat the MAS player.

MD QF
Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki/Dharma Gunawi vs Rikkert Suijkerland/Dennis Van Daalen De Jel - ditto for Yoke/Dharma.

WD QF
Febby Angguni/Cisita Joity Jansen vs Chow Mei Kuan/Lee Meng Yean - the MAS pair has the edge over the scratch pairing of Febby/Cisita.

 

She won TPI Smash tournament at 2007 or 2006 (Can't recall). But the tournament was more a entertainment with TV rating purpose mixed in.

 

Shocking that Nelson/Teo beat Bosch/Ridder!

 

mak/teo beat this pair in copenhagen master on the same year they won wjc
so nothing surprise

 

A young Indonesian pair beat that Austrian combination a couple of weeks ago at the Banuvest International... What age are Nelson/Chow?

 

Nelson=19, Chow=18

 

hmm but if I recall correctly, the Indonesian pair are younger than this (I think 17-18)

 

YES. Edi Subaktiar/Melati Daeva Oktaviani are younger than the MAS pair. They beat the Austrian pair in straight-sets in the Banuinvest International 2012.

Quite surprising to see Febby Angguni/Cisita Joity Jansen beating the AJC runner-up in straight-sets. A SF spot it is for them. Well done gals!

Andre Kurniawan Tedjono [5] also progresses to the SF as expected and will face Dicky Palyama [4]. He last beat the home player in the Belgian Int 2011 in straight-sets.

 

I hope Dicky can win this match, he's retiring soon so hopefully he can go out on a high!

 

Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki/Dharma Gunawi progress to the SF after a tough 3-sets victory today. They will face the French pair Jorrit De Ruiter/Dave Khodabux [3] for a place in the Final.

 

How old is Dharma? I looked at tournament software and his first tournament is Indonesian Open 1989! I think I seen somewhere that he is 1971?!?!?

 

I am not sure how old is Dharma Gunawi.

 

Found it here:http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/s...id=04732D86-3C12-46F8-B216-2627BA984A86&cid=9

That makes him 40+ his partner is 1985.

 

Dharma Gunawi is same generation with Denny Kantono

 

In that case, he's old enough to be a coach and even older than Sigit Budiarto!

 

Surprise, Febby/Cisita beat Chow/Lee in 2 sets, even the MAS pair beat Anggia/Shella easily in Singapore last year.
That's why Anggia/Shella wanted to meet them when WJC last year.

 

Even Suci/Tiara beat Chow/Lee in 3-sets in the AJC Final. Really surprising.

Chow/Lee is one of the favorite for the AJC title this year.
