Hendra and Ahsan is still #1 for Indo now
I think the indo pair won Singapore open will be # 1 pair for Indo
The pair who won 2015 OUE Singapore Open are Angga Pratama and Ricky Karanda Suwardi, they are fighting for Indo no.2 spot against Gideon/Kevin but based on their latest head to head simulation match for Sudirman Cup, Gideon/Kevin beat Angga/Ricky 21-9, 21-18.

I believe depending on whom the team INA is facing, we will see which pair to play. Angga/Ricky rose and won recent Singaporean Open vs. Korean, Japan and finally China pair in the final carries more weight than a simulation match.
I would be surprised if Gideon/Kevin will ever play at all in Sudirman Cup. They will probably play only when the other pair is injured.
On Monday, INA vs. ENG (ENG's MD pair likely: Chris Adcock/Andrew Ellis)
On Wednesday, INA vs. DEN (DEN's MD pair 100% for sure: Mads Conrad Petersen/Mads Pieler Kolding)
Wow....against the Denmark's Mads pair, look like Ahsan/Setiawan have to play. Favorable head to head records to the latter 0-2.
They just beat zihanqiu/liuxiaolong![]()
They lost to YYS/LYD.Yeah, hope they can progress further in HK Open. Go, go, go Gideon/Kevin.......
Is anyone else impressed with Kevin Sanjaya? I just watched him beat LEE Sheng Mu , TSAI Chia Hsin with shots no one else can or would do at that level. Hopefully, I can watch him play tomorrow on the TV court in HD.
True. Kevin is like KKK and more.I think it's the reverse, Gideon is the more safe player and commit less errors. Kevin has the complete package but is inconsistent with his movement and shots, making the opponent AND his partner confused. Kevin Gideon is patient enough though and has a similar experience when he was said to be the less player in the Agripinna-Gideon partnership.
This pair also has the problem as they don't seem to communicate well enough and their play is at their best when they have the upper hand but can't handle the pressure of being attacked.
they are in the final playing against KKK/TBH. Good luck!Is anyone else impressed with Kevin Sanjaya? I just watched him beat LEE Sheng Mu , TSAI Chia Hsin with shots no one else can or would do at that level. Hopefully, I can watch him play tomorrow on the TV court in HD.
