Cashed that bet lol. Well if Minions are serious, then they shouldnt be playing around when they are 11-7 up. Kevin playing like sht in G3 and that final error should even be a kill, no way it should be out. especially when his playaround disease comes, this is what happens.
Gideon / Sukamuljo are the 9th best Indonesian MD pair Fajr/ Ardianto Ahsan/ Setiawan Daniel/ His Regular partner Fakiri/ Maulana Ahsan/ Daniel Hendra/ Daniel Fajr/ Daniel Ardianto/ Daniel Gideon/ Sukamuljo
The highest rated MS player in the Race for Huelva is likely Shi Yuqi (7,200 + 7,585 won at the Sudirman Cup) = 14,785 pts (at around Rank 20-30. Since he is not around for the European tourneys nor the Asian legs, very unlikely he will qualify for the World Championships.. At 13,000 + 11,054 = 24,054 pts, Chen Yufei may likely qualify. Ditto for Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan (11,000 + 10,608 + 3,000 = 24,608 pts) and Wang Yilv/Huang Dongping (13,000 + 11,317 + 6,600 won at Denmark Open so far) = 30,917 pts. Li Junhui/Liu Yuchen and Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong (both at 11,000 pts) are unlikely to qualify.
The Minions won the Denmark Open twice already, don't really care. Unlikely they will qualify for either WTF or World Championships. 99% they will be split after the Indonesian legs.

Yeah Kevin head is on the beach, then when the points get close they got nervous themselves so its like shooting themselves in the foot. Its pretty silly. Yeah i dont mind they got split, i hope they can get good pairing, the better ones will add to the 27SS they have anyways. WC isnt it 4 pairs? they should still be in range.
Jonathan Christie won 6,600 valuable ranking points in his quest towards a place in the WC as well as World Tour Finals 2021. Not bad.
Meanwhile, the Spanish Open winner Pramudya Kusumawardana/Yeremia Eric Yoche Rambitan cannot repeat their result over Kim Astrup/Anders Skaarup Rasmussen as they lost to the Danish pair in straight-sets. What a pity as they led 18-12 in the second set, only to lose 18-21 after gifting the Danes 9 straight pts. The Danes are now up against another young INA pair that beat the Minions today, Mohd Shohibul Fikri/Bagas Maulana.
Praveen Jordan/Melati Daeva Oktavianti are also through to the QF after beating the MAS pair Goh Soon Huat/Shevon Lai Jemie 21-14, 21-12. A tricky match against Feng Yanzhe/Du Yue awaits them for a place in the last 4.
Busanan after losing to Sindhu, her h2h becomes 1- 13.. I wonder what will run through her mind when she starts to play Sindhu. I always thought she lacks something to become top player.
