WS qualification, Lim Yin Fun against 4th seed Fitriani FITRIANI. From 11-6 down took 1st set 22-20 .... hope she continue good run!!
Well done, Yin Fun... close the 2nd set with 21-15... through to main draw. Msian WS fan, next interesting match Ho Yen Mei vs strong JP opponent, Seena Kawakami. Too bad no live stream
Brother of K.Srikanth ,K.Nandagopal has started to play tournaments (Men's doubles) with Hemanagendra babu.
He Jiting and Tan Qiang are given the exposure to prepare them for this year's AJC and WJC, I presume. Doing Ok so far. Zheng Siwei is fast evolving into a very good doubles player, XD and MD. Who will be his permanent XD partner, C Qingchen or L Yinhui ? The former has a good reading of the game and very strong in front of the net, a ZYL in the making, the latter is faster and more powerful. Big headache for the coach. Congrats to Zheng and Li for a good win today. Huang KX and H Dongping disappointed me today.
Upset of the day: XD : Tan Kian Meng/Lai Pei Jing beat 3rd seed Jordan/Debbie in Straight game. way to go!! This newly paired show potential. Next up a French pair... See how far they can go... Hopefully at least Quarter finals
Another upset detected [TABLE="class: ruler matches"] [TR="bgcolor: #F8F8F8"] [TD="align: right"][TABLE] [TR="bgcolor: transparent"] [TD="align: right"]ZHENG Siwei[/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR="bgcolor: transparent"] [TD="align: right"]LI Yinhui[/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [TD="align: center"]- [/TD] [TD][TABLE] [TR="bgcolor: transparent"] [TD][/TD] [TD]Tontowi AHMAD [1][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD]Liliyana NATSIR[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [TD]21-15 10-21 21-17 [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]
Right, Zheng Siwei and Li Yinhui caused a huge upset beating Tantowi/Natsir in the opening round. Indeed ZSW's partnership with Chen Qingchen has been very promising and now ZSW coupled with Li Yinhui is proving to be another potential winner. As both Chen QC and Li YH are still young and developing, ample room for improvement, as doubles players, it's still early to say who will be bigger star in future. For the time being, I think the CHN doubles coaches won't want to fix ZSW's partner yet, time is on their side. Huang Kaixiang/Huang Dongping's 1st round loss to an unfancied French pair is certainly a letdown. Hope the young pair (both of them are 19 years old) draws valuable lessons from it.
i see every tournament around the world, only this Malaysia Open GPG every first round start on 8.30am instead of 9am, why hah?
Double big blow for INA camp yesterday, their two leading XD pairs Ahmad/Natsir, Jordan/Susanto were shown the exit door by the unseedeed Chinese juniors Zheng SW/Li YH and home qualifier Tan KM/Lai PJ respectively. But the back-up pairs are doing well as they progressed into last sixteen and one quarterfinal spot has been assured through Sukamuljo/Haris v Faisal/Aulia.
