Th draw will be done tomorrow in Jakarta at Sultan hotel where the players will be staying. INA has not announced the players yet but there 2 teams: GARUDA and RAJAWALI. They will use SINGLE court only from March 23 to 25th...the place: Tennis Indoors hall..no news about ticketing or free of charge....
. For INA teams, GARUDA and RAJAWALI; I wonder if they will be of equal strength; or like MAS with one team stronger than the other? .
. If the teams are not organised with equal strength, I am afraid the results would be too predictable. .
Tennis indoors has smaller seating capacity compared to Istora. Is the organisers expecting not very big audiences ? I think it could be sold out even in Istora if there is good enough publicity. But using 1 court only, maybe there should be VVIP seating on the same floor as the court. If there is such a close seats, it would be different than other tournament.
I have been told that Kido/Hendra and Bona/Ahsan will be same group and Alvent/AG will be together with Angga/Rian
