2009 New Zealand Open GP

[Sandy]

Interesting, both pair have same age, born 90 & 91.
Fenya should be play in next WJC, INA's Jr team will be stronger.

Well done, Anneke/Anisa, you get 1st title in GP. Congratulation for both of you. Unfortunately, the weakness of this pair is Anisa is so tiny , hope that she can cover her weakness and turn to be her strong point.

Wow, Chan Yan Kit beat his compatriot Wong Wing Ki so convincingly, 21-9 ; 21-9.

 

[chemile]

Febe lost 10-21 in the first set.... How easy it is! I think Sayaka Sato is dangereous player for World Top 10. I hope Febe is not surrender....Come on...

 

[george@chongwei]

sayaka sato is as hardworking as an ant..(not bc member)
japanese shuttlers are very hardworking though

 

[CLELY]

Maria Febe lost to Japanese young star Sayaka Sato 10-21 ; 16-21.

Sigh... Febe lost 10-21 16-21. Sayaka Sato is really tough. She catch the shuttlecock anywhere it goes... Congrat for Sato for the first title in GP.

As I suspected, Febe is no match to Sayaka. Maybe I am wrong as the match hasn't finished yet. I agree Febe is the No 3 rank player for Indonesia but I doubt even the first two singles of Indonesia can contest Sayaka.

where can you watch the tournament live? anywhere on the internet?

 

[chemile]

I think Febe is not comfortable with Sayaka Sato's play pattern. Both have good footwork, but Sato has edge in fighting spirit...

It is live on Guangdong sport The Indian MD pair is good, their defence are solid

Hmm..

... I agree Febe is the No 3 rank player for Indonesia but I doubt even the first two singles of Indonesia can contest Sayaka.

..against INA's 2nd ranked WS player, Adrianti Firdasari, yes, Sayaka has a very good chance.
But against INA's 1st ranked WS player, Maria Kristin Yulianti, it's a 50-50 battle. What's holding Maria back is her injury recurrences..

cmon fran/pia.....grab 2nd title for ina.......17-11 now....I thought Fran is partnering with Shendy, now change to Pia??

I agree with you....in her best performance MKY almost can beat anybody....
