R u or ? At least I'm not. In fact, the scorelines are quite respectable. We can never underestimate JPN players.
ur concept is simple,but,reach a few round further in a tournament doesnt mean a better than b. many things need to take in count,luck of draw is one of them. anyway,case closed as u didnt get what i mean. badmania,u think she can be another saina?
Honestly, today was the first time I watched her play and I have to say I am very impressed with her as a 14yo badminton player. Having said that, I am not surprised either if she can beat Maria Elfira Christina tomorrow, making it 4 out of 4 INA girls being eliminated.
Agreed....she will be better than Salakjit or Febe or Fira in the future. IMHO, INA needs to blood the youngsters like Ana Rovita, Febby Angguni and Lindaweni Fanetri.
erm,she tell me that the gap between her and salakjit is closer and closer now. expect to surpass salakjit this year
wow, this 14 year old girl enter the final? umm, congrats to her. just woke up koz very tired after back from badminton
Edo/Lingga bear the target of having to win this tourney. So, I am sure Edo will be very disappointed with the result. I personally expect Edo/Lingga to finish as runners-up behind Hendri/Hendra when the draw was made. That's why I commented in the earlier post before the tournament began that it will be hard for INA to win a title in MD. Hendri/Hendra's loss yesterday raised my expectation but to no avail Japanese double pairs are certainly starting to rise up to the occassion with the emergence of young pairs like: 1. Kenta Kazuno/Kenichi Hayakawa -- I am sure nobody heard of this pair before this year, but they are now World No 16 2. Naoki Kawamae/Shoji Sato -- Sato has been remarkable in MD so far, winning 3 tourneys earlier this year and now WR40. 3. Yoshiteru Hirobe/Hajime Komiyama -- WR59 and Winner of the Osaka Int Challenge 2009, beating Kazuno/Hayakawa in the SF. 4. Hirokatsu Hashimoto/Noriyasu Hirata -- WR72 and Runner-Up of the Osaka Int Challenge 2009. ...and now perhaps a no 5 with this new pairing of Takeshi Kamura/Takuma Euda? Wifqi/Afiat also lost 19-21 in the rubber-set to Hong Chieng Hun/Chow Pak Chuu Well, no INA-Final for MD as well, in fact, both are eliminated much to the disappointment of INA fans However, Wifqi/Afiat have exceeded my expectation of QF placement by surprisingly beating Hendri/Hendra yesterday.
Analysis on both INA MD's losses today by the team manager: They lost not because of the burden of being the top 2 seeds. It's more due to the lack of judgement in terms of change of tactics (kurang perubahan taktik) in the middle of the game. Actually, the opponents were not that special after all (lawan dua2nya tidak istimewa sama sekali). (*before anyone shot me with "biased" words yet again, note that these were the words of the team manager, not me ).
So, no change from the status just now, 1 title in XD and 3 more Finals. No representatives in MD 1 more title will be welcomed...perhaps from WS or WD?
cpc have quit bam last year end(december) being one of a few talented player,i really hope he can do well in future wd i think
With the NSS, MD is the most competitive discipline at this moment. I'm not surprised with the losses of INA as any pair can win over any pair at anytime. Disappointment from the top 2 seeds are undrestandable as MD is INA's most confident event in this tourney. From my observations in the previous tourneys, Edo/Lingga are not stable yet. I'm not sure about Wifqi/Afiat.
Except for Kido/Hendra, the rest of the MDs belong to the category of "not stable yet", with not much results to show for I personally don't think Edo/Lingga can rise to top 5. They might be a top 8-10 pair, but, I fear they may not become the best ones Well, that's just my own opinion. From the upcoming pairs, Wifqi/Afiat are probably the most promising and I dare say they might surpass Edo/Lingga in the near future. Below them, it will be Ulin/Berry.
Final line-up: 1.MS RUMBAKA Dyonisius Hayom(INA) VS NGUYEN Tien Minh(VIE) 2.WS CHRISTINA Maria Elfira (INA) VS INTANON Ratchanok (THA) 3.MD KAMURA Takeshi------VS---HONG Chieng Hun UEDA Takuma (JPN )-------CHOW Pak Chuu (MAS) 4.WD MIYAUCHI Yui--------VS---BERNADET Pia Zebadiah ITAGAKI Yuki(JPN)---------SUSANTO Debby(INA) 5.XD TENG Fran Kurniawan------------VS---AHMAD Tontowi BERNADET Pia Zebadiah (INA)-------DILI Richi Puspita (INA)
