Other matches featuring INA players who may progress to QF: Simon Santoso vs Hsu Jen Hao Lee So Hee/Shin Seung Chan vs Nitya Krishinda Maheswari/Greysia Polii [8] and that INA vs INA match in MD featuring Rian Agung Saputro/Angga Pratama and Berry Angriawan/Ricky Karanda Suwardi. Another pair that may have a decent chance of progressing is Suci Rizki Andini/Tiara Rosalia Nuraidah who are facing the CHN pair of Xia Huan/Zhong Qianxin. But as always against CHN WD pair, the odd is probably 45-55. I don't think Firda can beat Sung Ji Hyun. That will mean 6 to 7 representatives in the QF tomorrow.

Beating TMN is not an easy feat..
Indeed, the moral of the story is: if you have LXR on the ropes,never let her escape, or she'll suddenly deliver you the knockout blow and gobble you up whole ! For me, it can at times be stressful to watch LXR play, heart-stopping occasionally. I lost count how many times she came back from the brink of defeat and emerged triumphant. If I have my way, I wouldn't pick LXR to play CHN WS1 in the upcoming Uber Cup.Instead, I would go for either WSX or WYH. IMHO, the day LXR overcomes her proneness to error will be the day she truly becomes a great player.
well, these thrilling matches are truly worth of watching. It's quite boring now to watch LCW's matches in every single tournament unless CL or LD happens to be his opponent.
Gideon Fernaldi's XD partner, Rizki Amelia Pradipta, has some odd positions on court when he is receiving serve and even after the first return (usually to the net). He won't go far with this partner
It was Runner vs Runner. The one with the longer legs, faster legs and the better reach won the match
Interesting point. I've to hand it to you, and latecomer as well, for having more faith in LXR than I do.
K Srikanth is playing well so far, taking out T Ueda and NTM. Firdasari is a much improved player lately.
