Rina Andriani upsets the seeded player from DEN and reaches R16. However, she is likely be stopped by Nozomi Okuhara [3/4] tomorrow.
this is what pratul's coach say about pratul : " Meanwhile, watching the left-handed Pratul in action was like witnessing a fine artiste at work. His feather-touch net game and ferocious cross-court smashes seldom had a counter from the opponents. “He is a brilliant player who reads his opponents well and plays accordingly. The best thing about him is the killer instinct with which he plays,” said Mr. Vinod, trainer of Pratul at the Tata Padukone Badminton Academy. Pratul was phenomenal in the boys’ singles. He was hardly tired after the four matches that led to the final and had lost a set only in the crucial battle in the final match, which he eventually won 21-19, 11-21, 10-21." he should be a very good player...
Yet another disappointing performance from Thomi Azizan Mahbub losing to Pratul Joshi 21-23, 21-14, 20-22. He should have won the match in straight-sets!
Gifar also lost the first-set to Kento Momota 16-21. Look's like Panji Akbar Sudrajat will be INA's only hope in BS R16.
Rohit Yadav, Pratul Joshi and Harsheel Dani - all Indian boys reached next round. Amazing, given all their opponents were strong one. Can Atul Joshi also win and make a memorable day for Indians?
Hanna Ramadhini has no problem fulfilling her seeding but she will face Qian Jingjing tomorrow. 2 rounds of doubles will be played and that means a possible 4 matches for some INA players. BS R16 Akira Koga vs Panji Akbar Sudrajat [9/16] - I am still hoping for Panji to progress to SF. GS R16 Nozomi Okuhara [3/4] vs Rina Andriani - it's good enough for Rina to reach R16. Hanna Ramadhini [9/16] vs Qian Jingjing - it will be an extremely good result if Hanna can beat the CHN player.
Too high expectation on this young guy i supposed? After all the news reports, interviews, etc?? AFAIK, there's not much highlight on soo teck zhi or chong yee han..
