One thing is that no Korea in AJC. Although there is China. But I think INA perform OK here. The level of a few top(Asian) pairs are quite similar so sometimes they win or lose by narrow rubber. Meanwhile, in singles, the level between a few good players and the rest are still wide
actually i am interested to follow Shella/Anggia journey here. if they manage to beat SIN pair tonight in Round 3, they are likely to face either Chow/Lee or Ko/Song. Shella/Anggia become runner up Tangkas Alfamart Championship 2011 by beating 2 KOR pairs in QF and SF, in QF [TABLE="class: ruler"] [TR="bgcolor: #EBFAFF"] [TD="align: right"][TABLE] [TR="bgcolor: transparent"] [TD="align: right"]Shin Seung Chan [1][/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR="bgcolor: transparent"] [TD="align: right"]Lee So Hee[/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [TD="align: center"]-[/TD] [TD][TABLE] [TR="bgcolor: transparent"] [TD][/TD] [TD]Shitta A Anggia [5/8][/TD] [/TR] [TR="bgcolor: transparent"] [TD][/TD] [TD]Devi A Shela[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [TD]11-21 12-21[/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] in SF [TABLE="class: ruler"] [TR="bgcolor: #EBFAFF"] [TD="align: right"][TABLE] [TR="bgcolor: transparent"] [TD="align: right"]Shitta A Anggia [5/8][/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR="bgcolor: transparent"] [TD="align: right"]Devi A Shela[/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [TD="align: center"]-[/TD] [TD][TABLE] [TR="bgcolor: transparent"] [TD][/TD] [TD]Ko Eun Byul[/TD] [/TR] [TR="bgcolor: transparent"] [TD][/TD] [TD]Song Min Jin[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [TD]21-13 21-13[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] hope they can perform well here!
actually i also put hope to INA #2 XD U-19 base on the ranking on PBSI website, Hafiz Faisal/Shella Devi Aulia, they won Tangkas Open by beating 2 KOR pair Kim Dong Joo/Ko Eun Byul and Jung Jae Wook/Shin Seung Chan. Lets see how their perfomance against Nelson/Chow tonight. Good luck
I believe they can win tonite .. Nelson might be too tired, while Hafiz won easily both matchers earlier this morning/noon..
My prediction on INA players tonight. BS Sameer Verma vs Arief Gifar Ramdadhan Sameer has the edge, Arif finished both of his previous match in 3 games. Shesar Hiren Rhustavito vs K. Srikanth Vito has beaten Sourabh Verma in INA Challenge, not sure why he couldnt beat Srikanth? Thammasin Sitthikom vs Wisnu Yuli Prasetyo Thammasin would probably win this one, Thammasin won Tangkas Open by beating Fikri 22-20 24-22. Wisnu is trained under pelatnas, i think he has chance to create upset. Riyanto Subagja vs Khosit Phetpradab Watch Khosit in AJC, very good talent and charismatic player, i think he will win this tie! GS Yulia Yosephine Santoso vs Carolina Marin Carolina is contender for medal here, lets see what Yulia can do against Carolina Elizabeth Purwaningtyas vs Cemree FereRusy lost rubber games to Cemree, hope Ocoy win this tie BD Lukhi/Kevin vs Jim/Vincent Lukhi/kevin reach final of SIN International Series few months ago, lets see how consistent are they! Ronald/Selvanus vs Kritti/Samatcha I dont know how good is the THA pair, so i give slight edge to the INA pair, eventhough i am not too impressed with Ronald, watch him played at AJC, tons of error.. Hafiz/Alfian vs Tzu/Chih INA pair should take this one GD Suci/Tiara vs Narrisapat/Pattanipiton No bargain to the hot fave Suci/Tiara, they should win this tie. Shella/Anggia vs Aisyah/Toh Shella/Anggia will win this tie, and meet either KOR or MAS pair tomorrow. They should show that they are INA top#3 GD pair at the moment beside Suci/Tiara and Melati/Ririn. XD Hafiz/Shella vs Nelson/Chow Nelson/Chow has the slight edge esp on experience, but i think the INA pair will win Ronald/Tiara vs Grosjean/Palermo Alfian/Gloria vs Jim/ De Visch Both will probably win their match. Good luck to all INA players...........
Kento Momota is very talented, watched him in AJC, has good playing style, left handed, more enjoyed watch him playing than Kenichi, just IMO
The Korean GD pair is on course to force a rubber-set. The longer the MAS pairs spend on court, the more stamina they will deplete.
I will be happy if 7/14 out of the INA representatives can progress to the QF; ensuring at least 1 in every discipline.
