Jpn isn't exactly easy match for INA....2 points from MS and XD, but where'll the 3rd point come from?
What in the world is the Malaysian coaching staff thinking of ? Lydia is POOR. Attitude that is. Skills ? Poor Poor
WD : if they field Grey/Nitya. They have beaten Miyuki/Satoko before. MD : Bona/Ahsan or Alvent/Hendra have good record against JPN MD recently. WS : Firda lost rubber set to Eriko last month.
hummmmm,,it's sound difficult to think,, jpn or den/kor was tough for youngster INA team, i hope the drawing come to make INA facing ind or mas again for QF ^^,
Looking at the possible opponents INA could face, it will be: 1. MAS (again?) - am quite sure this will not be the case..... 2. IND - INA can rely on MS, either of the MD pair, and maybe WD to nail the 3 points. 3. JPN - INA will need to win MS, XD, and either MD or WS. WD is a goner for sure. 4. likely to be DEN - this will be the nightmare. I am hoping for either IND or JPN. Not that both will be easy tie....but at least more manageable than DEN at the QF stage. Also, it's preferable to play the tie tomorrow so that if INA wins it, there will be at least 1 day of rest before the SF. The scenario that will work best for INA: CHN vs DEN - what a cracking tie this could be. MAS vs KOR - KOR to advance INA vs IND - slightly easier than JPN TPE vs JPN SF: CHN vs KOR INA vs TPE - INA hopes to secure XD (Tantowi to play with Grace), MS (Simon can beat Hsueh Hsuan-Yi), and WS (Firda has also beaten Cheng Shao-Chieh).
they give up maybe or have not many option for woman single in team.. but i think tee jing yee more better than her. why they did not show her.? might this is malaysian strategy..
i hope your prediction will be materialized.. i was doubtful on ina team. cos MK/HS,Taufik and butet are not in the team
Notice that if INA to face India, INA will secure point from MS,MD,WD, and XD. No Diju/Jwala in indian team.
Well, whenever INA is the underdog team, we somehow can rise to the occasion, like in the Uber-Cup 2008 (reaching the Final) or the Thomas Cup 2010 (also reaching Final). This time, INA is missing several key players and reaching the SF is already meeting the target set by PBSI. Reaching the Final will be a bonus.
