Many matches involving Team INA. One result: Lita Nurlita/Nitya Krishinda get a free ride to R16 after Joanne Nicholas/Natalie Munt withdraw. They are expected to meet the third-seed Jiang Yanmei/Li Yujia tomorrow. Men's Singles: 9:00am Andre Kurniawan Tedjono [8] vs Anand Pawar -- should be a good warm-up match for Andre. 9:30am Vladislav Drunchenko vs Alamsyah Yunus -- a tricky match for Alam, but, I expect him to progress. 11:15am Tommy Sugiarto vs Scott Evans -- ditto for Tommy. 12:25pm Pablo Abian vs Andreas Adityawarman -- the INA player has a chance to win, but, the Spaniard is ranked higher 12:45pm Taufik Akbar Hidayat vs John Moody -- likewise for this Taufik. He can surprise us. 1:10pm Endra Kurniawan vs Nabil Lasmari -- ditto. Women's Doubles 1:55pm Jo Novita/Greysia Polii vs Johanna Persson/Elin Berglom -- a tricky match, given that the Swedes gave Vita/Butet a hard time in the Korea Open. Still, Jo/Grace are expected to clear their first hurdle. 2:15pm Yulianti/Nathalia Poluakan vs Rani Mundiasti/Endang Nursugianti [8] -- it will be a disappointment if Rani/Endang fail to reach the quarter-final here. Men's Doubles 3:25pm Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae [1] vs Tantowi Ahmad/Mohd Rijal -- the INA pair should just enjoy the experience playing against a top pair. 3:45pm Fran Kurniawan/Rendra Wijaya vs Johannes Scoettler/Tim Dettmann -- the Djarum pair is expected to continue their good form and progress further here. 4:10pm Tadashi Ohtsuka/Keita Masuda [4] vs Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki -- nothing much can be expected here since I heard that the Djarum pair might be suffering from another injury . 4:55pm Bona Septano/Mohd Ahsan vs Shuichi Sakamoto/Shintaro Ikeda [6] -- likewise, it will be a miracle if Bona/Ahsan were to progress here. Women's Singles 6:25pm Wang Yihan vs Fransisca Ratnasari -- Nana has done well in qualifying for the main draw, adding some valuable ranking pts in the process. But, she is not expected to beat the Chinese player. 6:40pm Maria Kristin Yulianti vs Filipa Lamy -- Maria should win this one. 7:00pm Aprilia Yuswandari vs Petya Nedeltcheva [5] -- likewise, Aprilia is not expected to get past the first round. Mixed Doubles 8:00pm Kristian Roebuck/Jenny Wallwork vs Tantowi Ahmad/Yulianti -- a tough match for young Towi/Yuli, I hope they don't freeze again like in the Russian Open first round 8:20pm Robin Middleton/Liza Smith vs Anggun Nugroho/Endang Nursugianti -- Anggun is an experienced XD player and this new pairing might have a chance of a future if they show consistent results. 8:20pm Chris Langridge/Joanne Nicholas vs Mohd Rijal/Greysia Polii -- a tricky one for Rijal/Grace, but, should be quite manageable. 9:40pm Rasmus Bonde/Christinna Pedersen vs Devin Lahardi/Lita Nurlita [7] -- not an easy draw for the seeded INA pair. The improving Danish pair might surprise us today
