hmm... watching rosyta, i think she still has to work really hard.... dont hope too much from her now... she is still quite raw... let her improve step by step... today he made too many simple errors in the XD match... i know that Edi/Melati is a very good pair, but Arsya/Rosyta can perform much better if Rosyta didnt commit many errors in shot and positioning.... never mind, 15 yo playing in U-19 and open division... need a little more time....
Jo lost... but i am still impressed.... every time i watched him, he always impress me.... an all round and clever player, but fast and have a deadly attack.... today he lost, he gave away too many points with out balls, misjudgement, bad return in the net.... but he will improve from that with experience.... actually, with a little improve in power, he can beat hardianto easily... but he is still 15 yo... his power is still ok for a 15 yo player next year, he will compete with Fikri, Agi, Ihsan, Eka fajar and others for a spot in AJC... but i am quite sure, he will be in the AJC/WJC team next year it will be good for his experience
As I mentioned, Rosyita is still being prepared by PB Djarum to be a front-court player (by playing in XD). So, don't expect too much from here in XD yet. She's probably better playing in WD (because of her height), which suits INA because we have quite a few talented women players in XD (but not in WD).
badMania, did you watch Riyanto's match ?? i can see that he is quite good, really good attacking skill and very fast... i think he is better than Vito !... his fighting spirit is also not bad, winning the 3rd game despite trailing 8-15 ! i really hope this sirnas can be his momentum to give a shot in the senior scene !!
Riyanto Subagja eventually beat Achmad Rivai after 3-sets: 13-21, 21-14, 21-18! Riyanto fought back from 11-16 down in the rubber-set to lead 18-16! A good result for him and he knew it as he collapsed in delight after Rivai netted his return. Wisnu Yuli Prasetyo is truly a fighter. Once again, he was trailing 8-13 in the second-set...yet, he could still beat Senatria for the second-time in a row 21-18, 21-18. The other 2 SF spots are also won by Pelatnas's Shesar Hiren Rhustavito and Andre Marteen Tene. A breath of fresh air finally for Pelatnas's MS hopefuls. MS SF Andre Marteen Tene vs Shesar Hiren Rhustavito [4] - I would like to see Vito challenging either Riyanto or Wisnu for the title. Riyanto Subagja [10] vs Wisnu Yuli Prasetyo [5] - Wisnu has the edge.
Andre Marteen has actually lost his hope... he wanted to end his career after losing again and again in Vietnam, Japan and Malaysia... he felt that he doesnt have any talent.... i think, he was quite down at that time... maybe now he has gain his confidence back...
Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo/Rafiddias Akhdan Nugroho stroll yet again to an easy victory: 21-10, 21-12. Up next is either Aldo Abdillah/Alfian Sangaji [10] or Amal Ori Wibowo/Jeka Wiratama [13].
Wisnu Yuli Prasetyo is indeed a fighter....proven times and again. We will now have an ideal Final between Shesar Hiren Rhustavito and him. Vito has a slight edge.
