Expected results today. SF Lineup in MS & WS: Chan Yan Kit [1] vs Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka -- tough to call, but Chan Yan Kit might just edge it. Alamsyah Yunus vs Andreas Adityawarman -- I agree with Krisna that Alam has a slight advantage. Anita Raj Kaur [4] vs Maria Febe Kusumastuti [2] -- Febe should take this one and it does look like she will meet Yip Pui Yin aka "Hak Mui" in the Final on Sunday.
New Zealanders going well in womens doubles & mixed! Also Aussie Kate Wilson-Smith in the semis of the mixed. She must be in her 30s by now! Shes awesome!
Not sure why but I learned of this nickname when Yippie won the Silver Medal in the Asian Games 2006.
Maria Febe beat Anita Raj Kaur convincingly, 21-12 ; 21-9 and likely will meet top-seed Yip PY tomorrow.
Yes, most likely we will see Febe 'the floating fairy' [I just made that up because of her terrific footwork, ha ha] vs. the 'flying tigress' Yip PY... Hayom vs. Chan... mmm... I still think 50-50... Hayom has all the tools to beat Chan YK...
Look at this score... 21-19 in the final game... almost nothing between them. The match could have gone either way... Hehehe... we're all glad you're wrong, even you are glad you're wrong... Go INA badminton!!!
Hehehe, why don't you go and see Alam for yourself... Give me your best estimate... Unfortunately... in my assessment, partially due to his height and body type [and skills potential too, of course] he can only win GPs and maybe some Gold GPs... not the Super Series / World Championships type titles....
Ya... I understand it too. But just like I said, as long as.... he can win, hehe... Of course we want our players have 'standard' body. Weight and height...
