Another domestic tourney that will be held right after the Astec Open 2011. Quite a huge turnout for MD, with some surprises: Markis Kido will be partnered with Hadi Saputra. Hendra A. Gunawan will partner Candra Wijaya in preparation for the India Open GPG in the following week where they are seeded no 4. The usual 4 Djarum pairs that occupy the top seeds: Rian/Rendra, Fernando/Wifqi, Jordan/Didit and Rizki/Albert. The new surprise - Arya Maulana Aldiartama/Edi Subaktiar are being promoted to the Open Division (Dewasa) and they have a hard match against Nur Wahid Ardianto/Tri Kusuma Wardhana in R64. It's also time for Lukhi Apri Nugroho/Rizky Susanto to graduate in time for the more rigorous competition in Dewasa as they are no longer eligible to compute in Taruna next year. Jaya Raya also does not want to lose out....its best Taruna pair of Hafiz Faisal/Putra Eka Rhoma are also promoted and they have a relatively easier task and should progress to R32 where they will faceDandi Prabudita/Wahyu Nayaka. Likewise, the WJC Bronze-Medallist Ronald Alexander/Selvanus Geh are also tested against possibly Ridho Akbar/Krisna Adi in R64. These means that competition in the MD will be very interesting and intense next week.
any link? hmm... where club does wahyu nayaka come from?it seems he doesn't come from PB Djarum, like Dandi Prabudita, right?
Wahyu Nayaka is from Tangkas. He was also selected for AJC last year, partnering Ricky Karanda Suwardi. They reached the QF, losing to the eventual winner Kang Ji Wook/Choi Seung Il in the QF. The draw is available in TS.
Competitive line up in GS U-19. Another Dinar vs Setyana encounter in QF? Also interested to follow Arinda Sari Sinaga here..
Shella Devia Aulia/Anggia Shita Awanda also being promoted into open division(WD).. And Vita Marissa/Mona Santoso should be hot favourite to lift the title.
Pia Zebadiah also play in WS. Let's see if she can lift the title. I think she can. No tough opponents there.. Only Ganis and perhaps Rizky.
was quite surprised to see straight score line. is there any players to look in remaja group? i notice alfian also plays single, and won tight rubber match yest.
Edi/Arya's victory further confirmed that they are ready to take on the big boys in the Open Division. Bring them on!
Wow.. Aris/Dian beat Lita Nurlita/Variella Aprilsasi in straight games 21-14 21-10.. On the other hand their team mate Shella/Anggia also follow their foot step, progress to next round after dumped out Aulia Putri Drajat/Reni Rosini 21-19 21-12.
Interesting match in QF, Deariska/Nurbeta will meet Vita/Mona, Shella/Anggia will face Ayu/Dwi, Aris/Dian will face Pia/Rizky. Hope all three young pairs can upset the more senior players or at least can push them into the limit
What a huge upset from WJC runner up Shella/Anggia.. They beat former pelatnas pair Ayu/Dwi.. While their team mate Aris/Dain also create upset by beating Pia Zebadiah/Rizky Amelia.. Well done for both young pairs.. Both will face each other in SF..
Thanks Sandy for the info.. Anyway, i read through the news that DD Sports will broadcast tomorrow India Challenge semifinal start from 4pm.. I think i can't watch all matches.. I only can watch a few earlier match i think hope you can give live report
