A lot of young India players are getting a look-in at the elimination rounds this tournament. Should be a good experience for them, and I hope they make the most of it!
Dont understand why Chetan Anand is still playing in these tournaments. He should be giving way to youngsters to gain more experience!
We all have to make a living, his fitness may be off but he is still evidently a good player. Why should he give way? it is his home tournament! He's a proven player and at the end of the day, his results here suggest he is still able to play well enough to beat other Indian players.
Some withdrawals from the INA first-team, including: Sony Dwi Kuncoro, Mohd Ahsan/Hendra Setiawan, Nitya Krishinda Maheswari/Anneke Feinya Agustin, and Mohd Rijal/Debby Susanto. INA's hope will once again be on the top-seed Tontowi Ahmad/Liliyana Natsir. They will have an easy ride to QF, but subsequently, could face: QF - Shin Baek Cheol/Jang Ye Na SF - Chan Peng Soon/Goh Liu Ying [3] or Robert Mateusiak/Nadiezda Zieba [5] F - likely to be either Joachim Fischer-Nielsen/Christinna Pedersen [2] or Sudket Prapakamol/Saralee Thoungthongkam [4]. In the lower half of XD, Fran Kurniawan/Shendy Puspa Irawati will face tough matches right from the beginning: R32 - Mads Pieler Kolding/Kamilla Rytter-Juhl R16 - Songphon Anugritayawon/Kunchala Voravichitchaikul QF - Joachim Fischer Nielsen/Christinna Pedersen [2] or Ko Sung Hyun/Kim Ha Na (the recently crowned Asian Champions). In WD, Gebby Ristiyani Imawan/Tiara Rosalia Nuraidah should progress to QF, after their MAS opponent withdrew. Meanwhile, Suci Rizky Andini/Della Destiara Haris will face the second-seed Christinna Pedersen/Kamilla Rytter-Juhl for a place in the last 8. In MD, Angga Pratama/Rian Agung Saputro will face a tough match against Hoon Thien How/Tan Wee Kiong [7] for a last 8 spot. If they win, a grudge match against either one of the JPN pair (Endo/Hayakawa or Hashimoto/Hirata) will await them in the QF. Mohd Ulinnuha/Ricky Karanda Suwardi should also progress to R16 where they will face the top-seed Mathias Boe/Carsten Mogensen.
Nowadays, everybody is playing well. We can't predict for (2). For (4), both of them are 20 years old.. I go for Saili Rane. She has shown some improvement in her game lately..

Thanks. I see that you are a die hard India supporter . . . From your PAW submissions. Live Stream now: JOJ vs Srikanth. Good luck. It will be tough for Srikanth, I think JOJ form is pretty consistently good. Score 1-1 now

I thought Srikanth looked tired towards the end of 2nd game, but seems he was re-vitalised again in 3rd game. He has a deadly accurate smash. How tall is he?
No idea. As far as i know, only from last year macau open 2012, he has been allowed to play in the senior tournaments overseas. In the macau open itself, he created ripples. Toppled many seeded players. He is just 19. His brother k.Nandagopal is also a very good player. But nowadays, he is not playing badminton it seems. I have no idea..
Sourabh verma took the revenge for his brother Sameer verma. He has beaten Chetan Anand. Truly speaking, he literally crushed Chetan Anand..
