Rexy has said in an interview that indonesians will win 5-0 against china... How did he say that?? Amazed after hearing that..
Poor Yippy just disintegrated. Perhaps the pressure of needing to win that crucial match was too great.
Who will Ina face as r-up group in QF ?? Surprised coaches put Greys/Nitya again instead of younger pairs such as Suci/Della or Gebby/Tiara...or surprised pair Mel/Lily...since it's gone case anyway it's better to field them....it's good for their exposure
Oh Dang, Canada lost 3-2. On paper they should have taken the XD which would have reversed the final score. An opportunity lost. SIGH!
Toby stated recently, elsewhere on BC, that they hadn't played much together and that he felt his partner was more focused on doubles rather than mixed. Not to make excuses, but that could explain a loss of mojo.
On the other hand, it looks like Martin Guiffre did very respectably against Brice Leverdez, who has a lot more international experience.

Firstly, it appears you're still sane Secondly, that wasn't ideal preparation going into this tournament. A bit perplexed with that.
Niluka doesnt belong to group he is way more talented than that. I have seen him play during Olympics and somewhere in the league of Ajay. If only the Sri Lankan team has couple of more who could support team they could well climb. Niluka actually trains at Padukone academy in Bangalore along with Ajay.
Ahsan probably is still not fit yet. Rijal/Debby did make a surprise by beating XuChen/MaJin in the recent All-England. Hendra/Angga? they concede the MD already
