let see if he can progres to final like what wisnu did in vietnam... anyway, currently, there are so many good MS and WS talents around the world... today, badminton looks more competitive in WS and MS... in MD and XD, the story is still like in the past....
there's correction from tournament software : [TABLE="class: cms_table_ruler"] [TR] [TD="align: right"][TABLE="class: cms_table"] [TR="bgcolor: transparent"] [TD="align: right"]Saki Hayata [/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR="bgcolor: transparent"] [TD="align: right"]Sayaka Hirota[/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [TD="align: center"]-[/TD] [TD][TABLE="class: cms_table"] [TR="bgcolor: transparent"] [TD][/TD] [TD]Komala Dewi [1] [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD]Jenna Gozali[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [TD]17-21 16-21[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] jenna/Komala goes to QF
Error?? Hmm....well...I still think Jenna/Komala are not good enough for a title here. Let's see if they prove me wrong! The biggest challenge will come from the reigning WJC champion Lee So Hee/Shin Seung Chan.

WS QF Shizuka Uchida [6] vs Hera Desi [2] - I am not sure if Hera Desi can defeat the more experienced Uchida. WD QF Jenna Gozali/Komala Dewi [1] vs Naoko Fukuman/Kurumi Yonao [6] - I am expecting Jenna/Komala to face Lee/Shin in the SF. Eto Rie/Yu Wakita [5] vs Gebby Ristiyani Imawan/Tiara Rosalia Nuraidah [2] - the more experienced Japanese pair should take this one.
Bad news....Ulin/Ricky lost to Takeshi Kamura/Keigo Sonoda in straight-sets I forgot that the Japanese pair won the MAS IC 2011, beating 2 INA pairs (Andhika Anhar/Hendra Setyo Nugroho and Hafiz Faisal/Putra Eka Rhoma).

I do think so I believe Gloria and Annisa capable of playing in both WD and XD. Deariska is tall and very powerful, i guess, this year after OG, they can try Deariska/Greysia.
Meanwhile, Markus Fernaldi Gideon/Agripinna Prima Rahmanto Putra maintain their consistency in reaching another QF.
Keigo Sonoda plays MD with Hendra Setiawan in Japanese league and according to Hendra,Keigo is quite good

Keigo also beat Evert Sukamta in 3-sets just now. These Japanese players really have ample stamina. INA players simply do not have the stamina or energy that KOR or JPN players do.
