Story of the tournament - Marin goes to Final and win IndonesiaMasters.. even if its 1 year late . 1 year after the horrific injury I will cheer for her. go Marin .
If Fajri vs Minions , bank on Fajri, If Minions vs Daddies , oh well... Daddies vs Fajri ... both have tight wins today.. its up for grab F spot.
I think fajar/rian will be the favorite tomorrow, I doubt rian will be nervous like in the WC. can't wait for the battle between hendra and fajar.
I think indonesian love Hendra/Ahsan the most? I personally like ginting tho, hope he can be more consistent
Yeah minions vs daddies would be boring, too easy for minions...we need fajri in the final so they can push minions to the limit. It's either fajri or daddies, then minions.
Did BWF just decide to nuke their Youtube of these matches? Only some of the highlights seem to be there.
It s not the non-living shell that makes a tournament. It s the living passionate fans that makes Istora exceptional.

Uh-oh next week ChenJia will likely meet MatsuShida for 3rd time in 3 weeks unless someone withdraws..also in R2 again..Something wrong with BWF draw..
Can someone tell me if Wang Zhiyi is related to Chen YF in any way apart from being a teammate? (For example, being a clone?) They're too much alike -- footwork, racket movement (how they hold their non-racket arm up at a 90 degree angle), play style, looks, and even the way they celebrate.
