Another upset coming from Rendy/Afiat that through to R16 by beating Kim/Kim from KOREA 21-14 21-12 What an easy game!
Nana is on good form...lost tightly to Zhu Lin and Porntip in New Zealand IC and Australia GPG respectively...
Last but not least as expected, Rijal/Debby also prevail and will take on local pair Xu Chen/Ma Jin tomorrow.
Personally, I always like Fransiska. Mainly because she always fight very hard to her opponents. Not giving up easily and good footwork esp when she's facing mighty opponents from Chn
I did not expect easy game at all.....!!! Looks like Rendy/Afiat should be ready to carry on the burden of Ina md
I even thought that this MD Pair lost, but apparently they won it in an easy straight set! Hope they can do their best against their senior Kido/Hendra tomorrow
Lets see who will shine in two years time..is it Angga/Rian or Rendy/Afiat? Anggra/Rian is my fave pair
Upset of the day definitely this one : Mitani Minatsu[JPN] - [CHN] Xin Wang [3] 21-19 21-17 Another rising star from Japan !!
In her second game with Eriko Hirose today, Sapsiree Taerattanachai came back from 18-12 down to win the match. She's got "intestinal fortitude" -- never giving up, even against a high ranked player. That would have been a good match to watch.
Mighty Minatsu heralded her own appearance by taking the Osaka International a fortnight earlier, thrashing Megumi Taruno 21-10 21-10 in the final, and also winning two European titles in Romania and Croatia last month.
