Doubles category is a huge drawback to india . They need to take some doubles specialists as coaches in order to improve further.
MAS XD Chan PS/Lai PJ upsets 8th seed Hayakawa/Matsutomo in three games despite the Japanese always leading in decider.

yep. Some indonesian coaches are there. But still they lack of doubles specialists as coaches. See today.. Huge casualities in XD. Shame..
The home teams are being eliminated one by one. But that's usual wherever the tournament hosts have an army of hopefuls. One thing is certain: At least three Indian players or pairs will make it to Round 2. That's because three of todays matches are India vs India - two in WS and one in WD
What? No live streaming on Bet365 either. First superseries event without any sort of live stream. Ironical as the India Grand Prix Gold did have Bet365 live streaming but not the India superseries. Anyway, will have to wait for the TV telecast that begins at 2 PM IST. Gotta wait patiently.
