CTK is no pushover but apparently little Noz pushed her way over
For Indonesia to go that low by envying those two boys, no way! Indonesia have some pride China Malaysia and Korea will never go that extent...so will Indonesia, all those glory years..
All these glorious achievements and reputation of Indonesia will go down to ashes if you as the Head Coach said "We envy India for having more talented players" China and Malaysia will be so disappointed . Where have your honour and pride gone ?! Stop humiliating yourself!!!
Surprised that no one had mentioned the scoreline. CTK had actually beaten Sayaka Sato 21-13 21-13 and Sapsiree 21-19 21-9 earlier this year. Looks like her engine is starting to run full steam. (Nozomi is a Japanese bullet train if you didn't already know)
So, only Sony Dwi Kuncoro and Alamsyah Yunus [7] progress to R16. Vito yet again failed to stretch Alam to even 3 sets. In the morning session, both WD and MD R32 will be played first. MD R32 - intense competition in MD will mean that at most one or two INA pairs will make it to R16 Mohd Lufti Zaim Abdul Khalid/Vountus Indra Mawan [7] vs Andrei Adistia/Christopher Rusdianto Rahmat Adianto/Berry Angriawan vs Patipat Chalardchalaem/Nipitphon Puangpuapech Muhd Ulinnuha/Ricky Karanda Suwardi [6] vs Tarun Kona/Arun Vishnu Hoon Thien How/Tan Wee Kiong vs Markus Fernaldi Gideon/Agripinna Prima Rahmanto Putra [4] Hafiz Faisal/Putra Eka Rhoma vs Low Juan Shen/Tan Yip Jiun WD R32 - only Suci/Della and Vita/Nadya could probably progress to R16 Suci Rizky Andini/Della Destuara Haris [8] vs Pacharakamol Arkornsakul/Jongkonphan Kittiharakul Lam Narissapat/Saralee Thoungthongkam vs Pia Zebadiah Bernadeth/Rizki Amelia Pradipta Wiranpatch Hongchookeat/Puttita Supajirakul vs Vita Marissa/Nadya Melati [3] Komala Dewi/Jenna Gozali vs Duanganong Arunkesorn/Kunchala Voravichitchaikul [6] Lee So Hee/Shin Seung Chan vs Gebby Ristiyani Imawan/Tiara Rosalia Nuraidah XD R16 Joachim Fischer Nielsen/Christinna Pedersen [1] vs Lukhi Apri Nugroho/Annisa Saufika Fran Kurniawan/Shendy Puspa Irawati vs Thithipong Lapoe/Peeraya Munkitamorn Kim Sa Rang/Choi Hye In vs Irfan Fadhilah/Weni Anggraini [7] Tri Kusharjanto/Vita Marissa vs Danny Bawa Chrisnanta/Vanessa Neo Yu Yan [4] Adi Pratama/Nadya Melati vs Sudket Prapakamol/Saralee ï¼´houngthongkam [2] MS R16 Sony Dwi Kuncoro vs ï¼ohd Arif Abdul Latif [16] Alamsyah Yunus [7] vs Sourabh Varma [12]
Well. Riyanto, Vito, Wisnu Yuli dominated last Sirnas (Indonesian domestic tournament), so we can say they are the best MS youngster that INA has. And they are still unable to bring impact, while Sourabh and Sameer did good. Sourabh defeated more established THA MS Pakkawat, while the younger Sameer even defeated Tanongsak. And note that Sourabh is seeded in this tournament. He is still 20 or 21, CMIIW. So, as one of so-called used-to-be badminton powerhouse, INA has to worry (and envy).
INA up and rising junior pair Suci/Della cruise to next round.. next opponent Chan Mi Kim/A Ra Ko. Potential opponent in QF is Xia/Tang. Suci/Della can stretch QT/ZYL into 3 games, let's see what can they do to Xia/Tang.
Soo Teck Zhi is 17 if I'm not mistaken. Just less well known than his compatriot, Soong Joo Vern. I don't know his date of birth though.
We have better new talent for doubles category than singles player... Yeah, Suci/Della, this INA promising duo almost shocked Word #2 at last month Uber Cup group-stage match, impressive performance.
INA young pair Andrei/Christopher lost narrowly to 7th seed MAS Abdul Khalid/Mawan, 16-21 / 21-19 / 20-22.
