Sigit Budiarto-Fran Kurniawan defeated Candra Wijaya-Hendra Setiawan of Jaya Raya in Superliga Badminton today... 21-14, 16-21, 21-16 in a battle of the former Sigit-Candra combo...

Sigit was very calm today. Not a lot of speculation. Fran also calmed down and enjoyed the game flow... Candra did not play badly either. Very high quality match. After the game, Candra was very gracious too... Cool champs!
 
Hey, ppl.. i got a bad news from Yan2, and she got it from Rian.. Sigit is sick!! Pray for him, ok?? So that he'll be fit for today's match.. :D :D :D
 
His club has 5 other good MD players... Sigit can rest today and maybe play again on Sunday [if his team manage to beat Jaya Raya tonight]...

The website was just launched 3 days ago, it cannot be slow. I think the players were referring to their previous experiences... :p I notice that all the favorite artists are very recent. So they must have obtained the most recent information...

Candra Wijaya often practices at Djarum until today because that's where the good players are... And Candra is still one very very disciplined athlete. Maybe that's what Fran meant... ;) :D
 
Fran-Sigit lost to Yohan-Albert today... Djarum lost to Djarum [on loan to Tangkas]... Ha ha ha...

Why do they have to look so funny in the group pic?
When I look at Imam and Hendra AG I wanna laugh out loud.. HAHAHA!
Anggun joking with Fran? Cute!
Yoke looks so weird.. LMAO..
Who is the guy next to Rian, looks like Yoga???
And who is the guy behind them? Someone who plays/played in Canada??? His face looks familiar..
 
Next to Rian? Yoga. Behind them is Haryawan, formerly of Djarum but have moved to SGS. He is Coach Mulyo's brother in law.
