He has won two out of three matches today. However the third one seems to be hard since he will face the first seed Anand Chetan. We'll see who will win in the end.
Chan Kwong Beng won over Arvind Bhat 15-21 21-19 21-14. 1st game: 10-4->10-18->15-21 ; thought he's gonna lose after 1st game 2nd game: 14-6->18-12->21-19 3rd game: 12-4->18-13->21-14
Interesting matches tomorrow: MS QF Andre Kurniawan Tedjono [3] vs Gurusaidatt R.M.V. [8] - a tricky test for Andre and I hope he can beat the rising IND youngster. Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka [5] vs P. Kashyap [4] - another tough test for Hayom. Let's see if he can beat the IND player. MD QF Adnan Fauzi/Tri Kusumawardana vs Mohammad Rreza Kheradmandi/Ali Shahhosseini [3] - Fauzi can concentrate on winning a title in either MD or XD. WS QF Saina Nehwal [1] vs Fransiska Ratnasari [5] - Nana fulfills her seeding as expected and she will entertain the top-seed. It will be a major boost to her confidence if she can beat Saina. Sindhu P.V. vs Maria Febe Kusumastuti [2] - Febe to go through to the SF. WD QF Aparna Balan/Shruti Kurian [1] vs Nadya Melati/Devi Tika Permatasari - a tough test for Nadya/Devi. If they can beat the top-seed, they have a high chance of winning the title. XD QF Abantika Deka/Dibyajoti Bora vs Adnan Fauzi/Devi Tika Permatasari - shouldn't be a problem for the INA pair.
Saina, Chetan in quarters at Syed Modi http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/...quarters-at-Syed-Modi/articleshow/5348693.cms However, the biggest upset of the day was the shocking 21-15, 19-21, 14-21 defeat of Arvind at the hands of Malaysian Kwong Beng Chan in an hour long match. In a match that had 111 rallies, Arvind squandered a first game lead and then found the going tough against the Malaysian, who held nerve at crucial junctures to emerge as victorious.

UPBA not learning lessons from past Now when the UPBA and the state government are organising the Syed Modi International Grand Prix Badminton tournament, which is again an international event featuring foreign shuttlers, power failures occurred once again. And that too during the inaugural ceremony. Power tripped thrice and the main hall, where the Indian and foreign players besides some top government officials were present for the ceremony, plunged into darkness for almost half-an-hour. http://www.indianexpress.com/news/upba-not-learning-lessons-from-past/555278/

Good Morning all... It is cold and smoggy in Delhi right now and I am having a great cup of Assam tea on my workstation.... Adnan Fauzi lost the singles match last evening (never mind, he played well). But he still has atleast two titles to target and I am sure he will win his both matches today. Interesting matches this evening, first two involving, IMHO, the best junior potential Indian badminton right now has -- Andre Tedjono vs RMV Gurusaidutt Sikki Reddy vs Jeanine Cicognini Dyonisius Rumbaka vs P Kashyap Sai Praneet vs Kong Beng Chan Saina Nehwal vs Fransiska Ratnasiri Chetan Anand vs Anup Sridhar PV Sindhu vs Maria Kusumastuti All INA pairs should win their matches (except Nadya/Devi Tika perhaps)..
lots of potential of India players indeed, good for baddy....but considering Hayom's form lately I wouldn't be surprise if he can beat Kashyap today....
Sorry, George. I am following this on TV and site like all of us. This is year end reorting time and I don't want to lose job at such bad economic times. Moreover, my exams are also approaching:crying:
Adnan Fauzi/Devi Tika Permatasari check in to the SF after a straight-set victory today. They will face Tarun Kona/Shruti Kurian for a place in the Final. Pretty tough. Nadya and Devi have to play again very shortly against Aparna Balan/Shruti Kurian. A bad scheduling Meanwhile, Andre Kurniawan Tedjono is involved in a tight-battle against Gurusaidatt R.M.V.
Andre lost the first set 18-21, despite leading for most of the set. At 18-17, Gurusaidatt won 4 pts in a row to take the first set.
Andre lead when he played patiently, many points from drop shot or half smash. In the end 1st set Guru played faster and Andre failed by long return or give chance Guru on smash. 2nd set no TV broadcast, switched to Wrestling.
