Destiara Della Haris/Ni Made Claudia Ayu Wijaya beat Kim Ji Won/Park Soo Hyun 21-16, 21-14; while as feared, Aurien Hudiyono/Gebby Ristiyani Imawan lost to Artima Serithmmarak/Rawinda Prajongjai. Della/Claudia will entertain another THA pair Rodjana Chuthabunditkul/Sapsiree Taerattanachai.
RMVGurusaidutt is 18 now (born Mar 1990). Read he decided to miss this tourney to try for university (unable to find that newslink right now).
OK, tomorrow we'll be seeing lot of big clashes. It could be fun...or disastrous, depending on the results of INA team.
Err...I thought 1 MAS pair lost to Angga/Rendy this afternoon??? Meanwhile, Mohd Ulinnuha/Berry Angriawan started their campaign with a victory over Lin Chia-Hsuan/Lin Yu-Hsien. They will face Gu Mu Yeong/Jin Yong Hoon for a place in the last 8....and if they win, a match against the top-seed Yew Hong Kheng/Ow Yao Han in the QF beckons. Let's see.... Meanwhile, Angga Pratama/Yohanes Rendy Sugiarto will have an easier task in R16 and will face either Akira Kobayashi/Shohei Hoshino or the second-seed Pranav Chopra/B. Sai Praneet for a place in the SF.
Does Li Gen really play that bad? I mean...I know he's only in the national team bcos of his dad...but is he really that bad of a player?
Lots of crowd at the stadium and probably due to the publicity of the Team events wins from all media. Congrat. to the malaysian JR heroes. Interestingly alot of attention was given to Li Yongbo son but nothing impressive. There is an upset in the WS- Porntip lost. I feel that she is feeling the pressure. Unlike Ratchanok and Sapsiree there are no pressure when they played- They go in and played the game they know. Very Impressive girls especially Ratchanok- its hard to believe she is 14, She does not look like 14 more like 16. Still her game is very mature and very consistent. Tee Jingyi is make to struggle again when she played the Spore gal. anyway is the win that count. Limsy is right in his assesment mostly. If she continue tocount on player's mistake- no wonder he is tired. anyway he must be sleeping the whole day today.
