She's underachiever and looks hopeless, don't see any urgency for PBSI to send her regularly in BWF World Tour. World ranking doesn't reflect real strength here, top-seed seed Ayustine, Ruselli Hartawan lost to their lower-ranked opponent with two-straight games. Singaporean promising star Yeo Jia Min is expected to progress and highly possible to meet former Chinese player who representing HKG Joy Deng Xuan tomorrow. On the bottom-half draw, we'll see three Korean teens and blossoming talent Kim Ga Eun, An Se Young, Sim Yu Jin plus local hopeful Rasika Raje to seek semifinal spot. Sameer Verma and Gurusaidutt are the favourite to facing off in last four, on the opposite half of draw Indonesia has secured one representative in MS semifinal while Korean hopeful Heo Kwang Hee will up against Malaysian back-up Soong Joo Ven. QUARTERFINAL (03.00pm) => https://www.tournamentsoftware.com/...25D23A-9CCA-4443-B3E4-5A104BAF8DCA&d=20180907
Yup, she follows Wang Chen also Zhou Mi as well. All MS quarterfinals were completed by three games, very close contest between Heo Kwang Hee against Soong Joo Ven who saw the Malaysian prevails with, 19-21 / 24-22 / 24-22. Soong will take on Indonesian representative Firman Abdul Kholik, the latter is touted to be one of Indonesian MS new generation alongside Christie, Ginting, Ihsan Maulana Mustofa. The winner of this tie will face home player, either Sameer Verma or Gurusaidutt. Yeo Jia Min and Joy Deng Xuan had met three times in this year as head to head stats favours to HKG player but Singaporean girl won their last encounter in recent VIE Open Super 100. Such long time ago we don't see Korean WS ensuring their place in final, 2016 WJC bronze medalist Kim Ga Eun is favoured to progress. SEMIFINAL (02.00pm) => https://www.tournamentsoftware.com/...25D23A-9CCA-4443-B3E4-5A104BAF8DCA&d=20180908
Joy Deng demolished Yeo Jia Min whom I considered the fave for the WS title. Too bad, I missed the match on livestream, too busy with something else.
Joy Deng Xuan is favoured to nail Super 100 title after bagged low tier tournaments IC and International Series in this year but 20 years old Kim Ga Eun is no pushover, the Korean is runner-up of Ling Shui Masters 2018, only lost narrowly to 2012 Olympic Champion Li Xuerui. The battle of lefthanders, Soong Joo Ven has better defense and shots variation than his oppponent. Kholik is stuck, nothing progressive development by this young man. Soong is rated behind Lee Zii Jia and Leong Jun Hao, he looked promising at junior stage, being silver medalist of 2012 AJC, lost to reigning World Champion Kento Momota at that time. The Malaysian will challenge final hurdle, strong contender Sameer Verma who eliminated teammate Gurusaidutt in three games yesterday. In doubles category, two home top-seed pairs will find Indonesian young rivals, Rankireddy/Shetty against recent Akita Masters champion Cahyono/Isfahani while mixed doubles duo Chopra/Reddy meet Cahyono/Kandow. Malaysian new WD combination, Vivian Hoo/Yap CW will be permanent pair due to Woon Khe Wei is suffering aggravated knee injury.
Satwik Rankireddy/Chiarag Shetty beat Akbar Cahyono/Mohammed Reza Isfahani in 2 games. It was an easy match against an inexperienced INA pair. 21-16, 21-14

Akbar Cahyono/ Winny Oktavina Kandow beat Sikki Reddy/Pranaav Jerry Chopra in 3 games. Sikki/Pranaav can write a script on how to lose from a winning position. They wasted a 6 point lead in game 3 and crumbled. Full Credit to Akbar/Oktavina for applying the pressure. 15-21, 21-19, 25-23
What about Game 2? I thought they will win in 2. Definitely, not at all good for the doubles in India. They are the number 1 seed and losing to an unknown pair from Indonesia . Not at all a good sign in the days to come.
Sameer Verma beats Soong Joo Ven in 2 games. Clinical performance and Sameer plays to expectations. 21-15, 21-18
