Good job Dian Fitriani! Ehhh, why its only written Fitriani instead of her full name Dian Fitriani? At Vietnam Open few months ago, I was quite shocked, i thought that it was Fitriani(the one who still played in GS U-15
Berry Angriawan/Rahmat Adianto upset the top-seed in MD after a 3-sets battle: 21-16, 13-21, 21-18! They will face Huang Po-Jui/Tseng Min-Hao for a place in the last 8.
5 WS players are through to R16, including Bellaetrix Manuputty. Up next is Yang Li Lian. Dian Fitriani will face Ito Kana, while Hera Desi will face Florah Ng Siew Fong. If these 2 INA players win their next battle, they will square off against each other for a place in the last 4. Yeni Asmarani has a tough match against the fifth-seed Sayaka Takahashi, while Tieke Arieda Ningrum will face the second-seed Chen Jiayuan.
Tan Wee Tat/Tan Yip Juin upsetted the winners of the Bahrain International Challenge, Christopher/Andrei in two close games, 21-15; 23-21 Good job boys.
Alamsyah Yunus won his R32 match easily and will now face Soong Joo Ven for a place in the last 8. I expect him to win that too later this afternoon.
MS R32 Kuan Beng Hong vs Riyanto Subagja - I will be surprised if Riyanto can beat the veteran MAS player. Lin Chia-Hsuan vs Achmad Rivai - I pick Rivai to win this so that INA will have more than 1 rep in R16. XD R32 Hafiz Faisal/Shella Devi Aulia vs Lu Ching-Yao/Cheng Yu-Chieh Andhika Anhar/Keshya Nurvita Hanadia vs Lin Chia-Yu/Kuo Yu-Wen

keep it up WJC ZZ!! actually this ZZ should be play in China SS right now instead of in MAS Inter Challenge...
I think his world ranking is too low to even go in qualifying... he needs to increase his ranking points first... Later comes the REAL TEST... against Chou Tien Chen who beat Chen Jin, Taufik, Sony before...
I see Canadian girl Michelle Li is seeded #1 in this tournament. If anyone is watching, please let me know how she is playing
MS R16 Alamsyah Yunus [1] vs Soong Joo Ven - Alam should take this one and hopefully the title! Misbun Ramdan Mohd Misbun [13] vs Riyanto Subagja - Riyanto has surprised me twice now, by beating Robin Gonansa and Kuan Beng Hong. Can he beat the seeded MAS player? XD R16 Putra Eka Rhoma/Aris Budiharti [3] vs Lu Chi-Yuan/Hsu Ya-Ching Terry Yeo Zhao Jiang/Dellis Yuliana vs Hafiz Faisal/Shella Devi Aulia Cheam June Wei/Lee Zii Yii vs Andhika Anhar/Keshya Nurvita Hanadia
So far so good for Alamsyah Yunus and Bellaetrix Manuputty so far. Things will get tougher in the QF as Alam will face the winner of Chu Han-Chou [11] and Adi Andrianus Prasojo. Meanwhile, Bella will face the winner between Tieke Arieda Ningrum and Chen Jiayuan [2]. Meanwhile, Hera Desi [7] will face Ito Kana.
In XD, Putra Eka Rhoma/Aris Budiharti [6] and Andhika Anhar/Keshya Nurvita Hanadia progress as expected. Putra will face Jonathan Tang Yew Loong/Thng Ting Ting, while Andhika/Keshya will face the second-seed Mohd Razif Abdul Latif/Amelia Alicia Anscelly.
What a close fight, Riyanto Subagja eventually lost in 3 tight-sets: 21-19, 17-21, 19-21 to Misbun Ramdan Mohd Misbun [13]. Nevertheless, I am quite pleased with Riyanto's achievement this week. Hopefully, he will start finding his feet in senior-level tourneys.
