The Wang Xin-vs-Maria Febe Kusumastuti match Most people think that WX should win easily. Let's hope MFK will give her a tough match. Game 1: WX-MFK 11-5 (at interval)
The Wang Xin-vs-Maria Febe Kusumastuti match Game 1: WX-MFK 21-11 (WX is too strong for MFK) I am going for lunch now. Will be back later for some other matches.
Obviously, INA WS level is not as high as CHN WS. Even MFK had difficulty to defeat 39 years old Susi Susanti at exhibition match last year. Only stamina saved MFK from losing. So, can't expect too much.
As predicted, Maria Febe lost to top-seed Wang Xin, 11-21 ; 13-21. INA WS almost have no chance if they meet CHN elite players.
Early exit for Greysia/Meiliana, overcame by home pair Eom Hye-won/Kim Ha-na 14-21 ; 16-21. This KOR WD almost won last week against TPE ace Cheng/Chien.
Greys/Mei is showing downhill progress . And they are the best WD that INA have. INA WD and WS obvious weakness is at speed and power area. Depend too much to hand skills.
I watch the match live in the stadium last week. The Koreans are very good in term of defense and attacking. They are very powerful. Their defense is as good as their seniors like HJE, KMJ, LKW, LHJ.
Bao CL is playing so comfortable casual and easy. So many Indonesian players, it seems that they even outnumber the host Korea in number of players.
