Possible opponents for INA XD pairs in R16: Mohd Lufti Zaim Abdul Khalid/Lim Yin Loo [1] vs Wifqi Windarto/Anneke Feinya Agustine Dao Manh Thang/Nguyen Thi Hong Anh [6] vs Fran Kurniawan/Pia Bernadet Zebadiah Ryota Taohata/Ayaka Takahashi vs Mohd Rijal/Debby Susanto Lingga Lie/Keshya Nurvita Hanadia vs Duong Bao Duc/Thai Thi Hong Gam [3] Akshay Dewalkar/Pradnya Gadre vs Akhmad Tantowi/Richi Puspita Dili
If all the Djarum WS players won their matches today, they will meet: Fransiska Ratnasari [8] vs Trupti Murgunde or Chan Hung Yung Maria Elfira Christina [3] vs Ng Ka Shun or Ooi Swee Wenn Tse Ying Suet or Sannatasah Saniru or Maria Febe Kusumastuti [2] -- all are winnable matches IMHO. Nana might have a tougher time against the IND player and I hope she can win. She's still young and I think she still has a future with Djarum. If Aprilia Yuswandari wins today, she will probably face Chan Tsz Ka tomorrow. I personally don't think Lindaweni Fanetri can beat the Japanese player today.
Nana confirms that All Djarum WS won and Lindaweni WON also....good for our PAW...haha..I guess you are wrong..Nana said that guys are playing now...I think all Djarum guys into 2nd round......
Sorry if my information is very INA-centric... I was informed that Hayom, Gepeng [Nugroho Andi Saputra], and Bandar have all progressed to the next round and will play 2 times tomorrow [if they keep winning]...
Kinda expected results for the MS. And to think that PBSI expects Yoga Pratama and Nugroho Andi Saputro to progress to SF without any experience of international competition this year MS R32 Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka [5] vs either Huang Chao or Abhimanyu Singh. Nugroho Andi Saputro vs P. Kashyap [3] (very likely) Lu Chi Yuan or Tan Aik Quan vs Bandar Sigit Pamungkas [12] Bandar and Hayom should progress to R16 where they will face even tougher opponents (esp for Bandar where he will most certainly face the home favorite and defending champion Nguyen Tien-Minh), while I expect P. Kashyap to edge out Gepeng. I expect Hayom to progress to last 8 for an interesting battle against the top-seed Andrew Smith.
In WD, only Debby Susanto/Pia Bernadet Zebadiah were playing today. They should beat the 8th-seed local pair. The other 2 pairs got a bye and walkover. WD R16 Annisa Wahyuni/Anneke Feinya Agustine [4] vs AUS or VIE pair -- Annisa/Anneke should beat either pair. Komala Dewi/Keshya Nurvita Hanadia vs Ayane Kurihara/Shizuka Uchida [3] -- the pair from JPN is beatable, but, I will like to be conservative. Pradnya Gadre/Prajakta Sawant vs Debby Susanto/Pia Bernadet Zebadiah -- shouldn't be a problem for the INA pair to reach QF.
Well, even though I agree Kashyap still has a higher chance of winning... ...I think Gepeng has a 45% chance of beating P. Kashyap... Gepeng has deadly weapons [his agressive play and deadly thundersmash]... Even Kenichi Tago lost to Gepeng last year [INA Challenge]...
