With the results today, Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo will be ranked no 1 in BWF's Junior BD ranking with at least 23,900 pts, followed by Edi Subaktiar/Arya Maulana Aldiartama with 22,960 pts.
from fb group Setyana d Aurum 21-19 21-9 Sitthikom v Pannawit 19-21 ret (don't know who retired, I guess Sitthikom who passed Ihsan Maulana in long battle yesterday) Tedi/Della d Yodhi/Ketut 21-14 21-17 Miyuki/Ami d Tri/Monika 21-16 10-21 21-16
So, Kevin/Rafi should be facing Hafiz/Putra for the second time, after the easy victory in Sirnas Jakarta Open 2012.
If Kevin/Rafi can beat Hafiz/Putra (again) tomorrow, then, I will strongly prefer to have Kevin/Rafi to be selected for WJC, instead of Alfian, as both will be also be participating in next year's AJC & WJC. At least, Rafi will have the experience of this year, even if they are not to win it this year.
I wanted to watch at the stadium yesterday but heard about the traffic jam caused by massive labour demo so I decided not to. Probably going there tomorrow, anyone knows what time it started ?
ts has updated tomorrow lineup so it starts at 1pm but I am unable to be there at that time. Hopefully can catch the last 3 matches
indeed, alfian has a wjc gold in hand... better for him play in senior with gloria... give raffi a good experience...
BS FINAL Pannawit Thongnuam [9] vs Khosit Phepradab [2] - Khosit to take the title, after Sitthikom's withdrawal yesterday. GS FINAL Setyana Mapasa [3] vs Hanna Ramadini [2] - the ideal Final between INA's best GS players. Hanna has the edge. BD FINAL Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo/Rafiddias Akhdan Nugroho [6] vs Hafiz Faisal/Putra Eka Rhoma [5] - if Kevin/Rafi can repeat their performance at the Sirnas Jakarta, they will surely be a hot contender for the third spot in WJC. GD FINAL Miyuki Kato/Ami Ueno vs Melati Daeva Oktaviani/Rosyita Eka Putri Sari - the only Final featuring INA vs foreign opponent. Melati/Rosyita to take the title. XD FINAL Edi Subaktiar/Rosyita Eka Putri Sari vs Tedi Supriadi/Della Augustia Surya - Edi/Melati should take their third international title this year against their team-mates.

Sigh...too bad Kevin/Rafi failed to beat Hafiz Faisal/Putra Eka Rhoma again. Nevertheless, this shows that our 3 strongest BD pairs are capable of beating each other! Hafiz/Putra were unlucky to lose to the Japanese pair last week, despite having 2 match pts! This is also their 2nd international titles, after the Australian Junior 2012. Edi Subaktiar/Melati Daeva Oktaviani also win their 3rd international titles this year, after the Dutch Junior and Banuinvest International 2012. Plus the 2 Sirnas titles (Jakarta and Bandung). That confirms that they are INA's best hope for an XD medal in the WJC. Melati Daeva Oktaviani/Rosyita Eka Putri Sari also won their 2nd international titles this year, after the German Junior. Plus the Pegadaian Walikota Surabaya Cup. Setyana Mapasa also surprised us by beating Hanna Ramadini in 3 tight-sets: 21-16, 19-21, 21-19. The only title that went to foreign players is the BS title as Khosit Phetprabad beat his team-mate. I think the juniors will have at least 1 month of rest after the long and hectic schedule since end of May. Let's see if the major clubs will send their player to the Singapore International Series (14-18 Aug) and the Vietnam Open GP (21-26 Aug). They should be competing in the Flypower Indonesia Junior International (18-23 Sep) and the INA Open GPG (25-30 Sep). The other 2 junior events held in early Sep: India International Junior Badminton Championships (05-09 Sep) and the Malaysian International Youth U-19 (11-16 Sep) are also good options. WJC will be from 25 Oct-3 Nov.
