Dont worry mkisss..........if our TJY can beat this Rus girl, I am sure Maria can do it also.........cheer !!
from the statistic, Rizky/Richi giving 17 free points to opponents in 1st set despite dominating smash and net
INA is guaranteed one spot in QF, probably the veteran pair of Nova Widianto/Vita Marissa. I think the combination of Nova/Vita is not as good as Hendra A.G./Vita. Looking at the ranking of Nova/Vita, assuming that they can get: 3850 for reaching QF at Thailand GPG 2220 for Singapore SS (I don't think they can beat Mateusiak/Zieba) 2660 for INA SSP (I also don't think they can beat Zhang/Zhao) That will add 8730 pts and their total ranking pts will be 33,390 (10 tourneys), comprising of: 4 losses at R32 2 losses at R16 4 losses at QF That will barely put them in the top 25. They will need additional 26,000 pts++ to break into the top 8 and maybe qualify for the Olympics by end of April next year. A pretty tall order, unless they start to win some tourneys! If I recall correctly, AG/Vita rose to top 10 pretty rapidly.
MAS players today took a lot of casualties, especially in mens single and mixed doubles... most likely MAS team will having early annihilation...
Riichi Takeshita destroying MAS backup players... who is this man? Saw him for the first time in NZ International Challenge, beating Hafiz, Wong Wing Ki and Hu Yun. He won it and disappeared. Now he's back.
Yup,if i recall correctly,in their early partnership Hendra/Vita ever beat Zheng Bo/Ma Jin and Tao Jia Ming/Zhang Yawen.
Chong Wei Feng just sent packing by the french player, now leaving Arif, yoyo Hafiz and mighty uncle Wong Choong Hann to be last men standing...
