Andre can beat Tommy, but historically didn't do well against Tommy for whatever reason... I think Wifqi-Alfiat has a 50-50 chance against Luluk-Joko. And as for Tantowi... you cannot bet against Tantowi in Vietnam! The guy keeps winning and winning despite playing with different partners. Vietnam is Tantowi's 'home outside home'! If so, then Coach Sigit Pamungkas is not wrong. Wifqi is the stronger choice compared to Alfiat, while Edo is the stronger choice compared to Lingga...
Oh no....the 2 back-up XD pairs (Towi/Richi and Rijal/Debby) keep losing in tight matches (usually in 3-sets) Not a good sign....
When does their contract start? I see that they only started partnering during the INA SS (June this year). After less than 4 mths and 6 tourneys, They are now on WR57, with 15,850 pts. Even with 2,750 pts from QF finish this week, they will reach top 50 next week (18,600). If the target is top 32 by end of the year, then the number of ranking pts will need to be at least 30,000 to be safe. Not easy though if the deadline is end of this year
But TS show the opposite result, Its Towi/Richi who won 23-21 in the decider Meanwhile Nana beat Zhang Beiwen also in 3 sets
Yeah...same here.. Tontowi AHMAD [2][INA] Richi Puspita DILI[INA] - [AUS] Raj VEERAN [AUS] Renuga VEERAN 21-18 19-21 23-21
The update from TS kinda slow, but still its better than the previous edition This time no live report from courtside, eh?
the contract started around INA Open so it counts 12 months to reach top 32..I htink it should not be a problem..Luluk/Joko will be focusing on Asia region and may be AE 2010
Yeah despite the rankings, Andre always find it hard when facing Tommy Hmm maybe you spoke too soon but definetely i agree with you, Tommy better prove that he deserve his place in pelatnas and silence all the critics he get so far
Looks like they had pack the beg for morning session without realising they had completely update the TS
