I would think putting Grace in XD with Rizal or somebody good will solidify our XD with 2 good pairs (they'll still be better than Pia/Fran, IMO)........ Let's face it, INA doesn't stand a chance against china's WD wall......better consolidate the resources in XD.
If Nova/Butet do win the title tomorrow (a big big if), I guess that will ease the heartache of Kido/Hendra losing in such a close way today
Grace has been paired with Rijal before and I believe they had yet to reach top 10. Grace might partner Tontowi Ahmad for the Asian Championships next month. INA needs to introduce their young MD and XD pairs quickly...like what CHN do Ulin/Berry, Angga/Rian, Rendy/a suitable partner..preferably more senior?, a male partner (maybe Riky Widianto)/Jenna, Irfan/Wenny need international match exposure this year!
Yeah, I've been waiting for Jenna to show up in the senior circuit...heard lots of good praise about her..Where the heck is she anyway? Markis/Hendra needs reliable backup....and the way things been going....Bona/Ahsan won't be it....and Rian/Yoke is even worse.
Jenna?!? She is waiting for the announcement from PBSI... She won the XD selection, but PBSI officials hesitate on what to do... But I'm pretty sure she will be accepted into the National team... The backup for Kido-Hendra right now is: Alvent-Hendra AG!
OT here: I believe Jenna Gozali just got selected as she and Mohd Ulinnuha won the XD event in Seleknas 2010. Unfortunately, I don't think any INA MD player will be playing XD, so, Ulin will probably not be his partner. There's rumours that Riky Widianto might be playing XD. Yes, Rian/Yoke and Bona/Ahsan have reached their limit. I am more interested in the younger pairs, esp Ulin/Berry and Angga/Rian. These 2 pairs have shown the most promise, esp with Ulin/Berry topping the Seleknas, while Angga/Rian beating Ulin/Berry in Kejurnas in 3 very very tight-sets. Ulin/Berry actually reached match pt first but got nervous and let Angga/Rian beat them . That was definitely the match between INA's 2 best BD pairs at the moment!
Err...I won't exactly count on AG/Alvent at the moment. They are very erratic and I don't think they can surpass their current ranking.
i believe year ago u are telling me the pair of wifiat or something like that will made some impact where are them now?
they will be in Asian Championship and with different partner....one of them will be with Edo and other with Rendy...( they may change it)
I'm really behind the times....Riky is back in INA??? I thought he's in Spore....... Send Ulin/Berry and Angga/Rian to GP and GP Gold event then, lets see if these boys are worth it
Wifqi/Afiat are already split, although they did reasonable (in my books) last year, considering that they are only 21yo and their limited exposure. They had beaten Chan Chong Ming/Chew Choon Eng and Chen Hung-Ling/Lin Yu-Lang.
Ricky has been back to INA a yr ago and doing good in INA's circuit....now too many politics get involved in selection..one of them want all East Java's players to be selected..Ricky is one of them...eventhough in selection...he was number 3...
OT: Rendy/Wifqi might be a good combo. As I said, Rendy needs someone more senior than him. I don't know why he was paired with Mohd Rizky Dellynugraha in the Pratama
I cant believe that Bao lost when I woke up.....sigh!! I guess tago improves so much suddenly... I may start eating more sushi now...
i dont think the chinese MS were mentally prepared for tago. Their game plan went off track. Good luck to tago. Make use of this opportunity as lcw prolly not mentally ready for tago either.
