score update: Simon - Kashyap: 21-7, 2-2 won easily in first set JYJ - Saina: 12-17 India got chance to take one point here LCW take first set 21-13 Firda leading 17-12 against Rat
Darren had a tough 3 set against CYK, so I think the coaches dun want to tax a already tired player who to begin with is always suspect on his fitness.
Oh no saina lost after leading 18 12 in the first set, now losing 2nd as well... chances gone alreday for a suprise... Damn no live streming for TC MAS - KOR, would be great to watch...
What a vital point for Team INA as Adriyanti Firdasari beat Ratchanok Intanon 21-16, 23-21! INA leads 1-0. WS2 is another rematch between Lindaweni Fanetri and Porntip Buranaprasertsuk.
Good job, Firdasari. INA vs THA 1-0 then wonder why is not there live streaming or even in TV (one of INA TV will broadcast on Saturday and Sunday, but I think that the most interesting days to show are today and tomorrow matches.. sigh)
Now, INA needs 2 pts...most probably from the Doubles. But WD1 and WD2 are both tough matches, with Nitya/Feinya having the slight edge in WD1 (which will be played last since Sapsiree is playing in WS3 first), while Thailand will count on the experience of Saralee and Kunchala in WD2. Ko Aryono (the INA WD coach) has made the strategic decision of fielding Meiliana Jauhari and Liliyana Natsir. So, it will be a scratch pair vs another scratch pair! Meanwhile, 2 singles matches will be played first and I hope one of the INA players could secure another pt. It's time for Bellaetrix Manuputty to show us what she's capable of!
Anyone can explain the rule of match ordering? Who decide it? This afternoon, I saw the order for INA vs THA was WS1 - WD1 - WS2 - WD2 - WS3 and now it changes to three consecutive singles followed by WD2 - WD1 (current order is not better for Sapsiree, as she has less time interval to play between 2 matches)
Scratch pair has made INA lost to THA twice, AG(Nitya/Pia) and SEA Games(Vita/Lilyana). If Bella win, INA will win.
