We like this new arrangement! The qualification matches have already started... A lot of European players I don't know are playing... I am just happy that badminton is played by so many countries worldwide...
Hi Krisna......So Aamir finally reached the main draw. Well Aamir was away from Badminton for 4months totally, and he made a comeback like 7 or 8 months ago, So he's playing well now....
Interesting Matches for today are: Arvind Bhat vs Jurgen Koch 60% 40% Ari Yuli Wahyu HARTANTO vs Rajiv Ouseph Stefan vs Aamir GHAFFAR (difficult to predict, Rematch of the Portuguese, Aamir lost to him in three games). Petr Koukal vs Carlos Longo. (should be a good one) Kestutis Navickas vs Richard Vaughan (this could be the most thrilling match for Today). Rune Ulsing vs Marc Zwiebler (Marc should win in two easy games).
Please forgive my pedantry, but Hwang Hye Young hasn't played since 1992, the year she won Olympic Gold in Barcelona. Hwang Hye Youn still has a chance, though.
You're right. I accidentally added 'y' there... Ha ha... By the way, Fran-Shendy defeated Chang-Liao 21-8, 21-8 in 11 minutes just now... I am still dissapointed with the fact that Hayom and Wisnu who could not go to the main draw... :crying: Wahyu is leading 16-13 over Rajiv Ouseph now...
Wahyu won convincingly over Rajiv 21-16, 21-11... Jan Vondra is next for him... I expect a SF clash between Wahyu vs. Wacha... He he he...
Not sure that Wacha will reach SF. He played 3 games with Russian Sozonov because serious problem with the knee...
Team Djarum's MS, WS, XD players have advanced to R16 so far. MS R16 Andrew Dabeka [3] vs Ari Yuli Wahyu Hartanto WS R16 Juliane Schenk [1] vs Maria Elfira Christina Sylvinna Kurniawan vs Elisa Chanteur Larisa Griga [4] vs Rosaria Yusfin Pungkasari XD R16 Fran Kurniawan/Shendy Puspa Irawati vs Watson Briggs/Julie Cooper [7]
Oh dear...Fran Kurniawan/Rendra Wijaya have just lost to the home pair Adam Cwalina/Wojciech Szkudlarczyk 15-21, 20-22
The Poles are playing serious badminton! I am shocked that an unknown Polish pair can defeat Fran-Rendra... Some Poles are really playing serious badminton over there eh? The only good thing I can gather out of this Fran-Rendra defeat is that badminton is really becoming tougher all around the world...
I predicted wrongly... apparently Andrew Dabeka [3] will play Wahyu in a few hours... Dabeka is one very tall and strong fella... Wahyu got to use his soft touches against this guy...
Mel-Shendy defeated Alesia-Agata in 17 minutes... 21-3, 21-17... 28 smash winners for the INA WD compared to 4 smash winners from their opponent...
Andrew now leads over Wahyu 10-7... Don't give him easy shots, Wahyu. Keep him running. He is not that mobile...
