Wow.. all MS (Tunggal Dewasa Putra) top seeds are through SF. Interesting match SDK vs DHR.. hmmm wish could watch this one
Quite surprising that Firda lost to Aprilia with straight-sets... Dewasa category Semifinal : WS Aprilia Yuswandari vs Maria Kristin Yulianti Fransiska Ratnasari vs Maria Febe Kusumastuti Possibly 2 Maria in finale MS Simon Santoso vs Andre K.Tedjono Hayom Rumbaka vs Sony Dwi Kuncoro Looks like the top two seeds will prevail into last round
MS SF Simon Santoso [1] vs Andre Kurniawan Tedjono [3/4] - the maximum Andre can reach is SF and he fulfills that. Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka [3/4] vs Sony Dwi Kuncoro [2] - with Sony not yet in form, Hayom could beat Sony. I think Hayom can at least stretch Sony into three-sets. WS SF Aprilia Yuswandari [5/8] vs Maria Kristin Yulianti [3/4] - I would like to see Maria avenging her loss in the Panglima TNI Cup 2 weeks ago. Fransiska Ratnasari [3/4] vs Maria Febe Kusumastuti [2] - this will be tight with probably Febe winning it? WD SF Annisa Wahyuni/Anneke Feinya Agustine [1] vs Liliyana Natsir/Shendy Puspa Irawati [5/8] - I will be surprised if Annisa/Anneke can win this one. Jenna Gozali/Maria Elfira Christina vs Greysia Polii/Meiliana Jauhari [5/8] - likewise for Jenna/Fira. XD SF Mohd Rijal/Debby Susanto [1] vs Riky Widianto/Variella April Sasi [5/8] - the top-seed is so far untroubled. Devin Lahardi Fitriawan/Liliyana Natsir [5/8] vs Tontowi Ahmad/Greysia Polii [5/8] - Devin/Butet to take it!
BS SF Riyanto Subagja [1] vs Alrie Gunadharma [3/4] - I will be very surprised if Riyanto cannot win this title Wisnu Yuli Prasetyo [9/16] vs Andre Marteen [5/8] - Andre to win this one! BD SF Haswir Sahab/Selvanus [5/8] vs Marcus Fernaldi Gideon/Wahyu Nayaka [3/4] Praveen Jordan/Rangga Yave Rianto vs Dandi Prabudita/Jones Ralfy Jansen [5/8] - I hope Dandi/Jones can win this one to justify their place in the AJC & WJC for this year. GS SF Ganis [5/8] vs Hanna Ramadhini [5/8] - Hanna to win this one. Millicent I.W. [9/16] vs Ana Rovita [2] - can Ana rise to the ocassion and probably face Hanna in the Final? GD SF Mega Cahya/Sri Wulan [5/8] vs Anggi Widya Setiawan/Ayu Pratiwi [5/8] Athiatun Rahimah/Aurien Hudiono [3/4] vs Lidya Pradita/Yayu Rahayu [5/8] - Lidya/Yayu beat the top-seed in 3-sets today...let's see if they can beat the 3/4 seed as well. XD SF Ricky Karanda Suwardi/Ayu Pratiwi [1] vs Jones Ralfy Jansen/Nurbeta Kwanrico [3/4] - tough to decide....but Ricky/Ayu might take this one. Hardiyanto/Anggi Widya Setiawan [5/8] vs Didit Juang Indiarto/Yayu Rahayu [2] - Didit will be looking to seek redemption in the surprise loss in BD and hopefully win the title in XD.
we will see, whom is better between Riyanto Subagja and Andre Marteen For GD, I will be very happy if Hanna Ramadhini can be the champion... This Kejurnas is the birth place for a new Indonesian future world champion in WS (Hanna Ramadhini) and MS (Riyanto Subagja or Andre Marteen)
MD SF Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan [1] vs Alvent Yulianto Chandra/Riky Widianto [5/8] - Riky Widianto is another young MD talent that Pelatnas should tap! Enough said! Ahmad Rivai/Ardiansyah vs Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki [2] - Rian/Yoke have an easier draw.
Comments on Angga Pratama/Rian Agung Saputra's QF performance: They managed to force Alvent/Riky to two tight-sets 21-23, 19-21; and again this underlines their ability and worth as the best Pratama pair! So, please don't split them up! Comment on Riky Widianto: If Pelatnas doesn't act fast and take him in, they are really making a mistake Just look at the results of this tourney...a scratch pairing with the experienced Alvent Yulianto and manages to progress to SF against Kido/Hendra. If Alvent/Riky can force Kido/Hendra to a rubber-set (or beat them), it further solidifies my belief that Riky can form a decent partnership with Rendy Sugiarto, who's now really clueless without a partner Not to mention, Riky also performs well in XD, also progressing to the SF with a relatively unknown partner (Variella April Sasi) after beating Yusuf Achmad/Lidyawati Limanto (who won a Sirnas title in XD last year).
Angga/Rian lead 19-13 on set-1 but lost 21-23, they still have mental problem because of never play in International event. Soon promote Angga, Rian, Rendy. Ulin, Berry to Pelatnas Utama, one addition I prefer Ricky Karanda Suwandi from Mutiara Bandung, Kevin Alexander as backup.
I agree. Please...don't spend any more time in Pratama for the above mentioned players Ricky Karanda Suwardi will also be a good addition in MD and XD. As for Kevin Alexander, Angga's former partner, I thought he's also playing in XD?
yeaaah.. Final Taruna Putra.. Andree marten vs Riyanto Subagja Go Riyanto...we need 'young and fresh' winner... revans your lost last year
Taruna FINALS BS Riyanto Subagja [1] vs Andre Marteen [5/8] - Riyanto to take this one and confirms his status as INA's top junior player. BD Marcus Fernaldi Gideon/Wahyu Nayaka [3/4] vs Dandi Prabudita/Jones Ralfy Jansen [5/8] - time for Dandi/Jones to step up and be counted for AJC and WJC this year! GS Ganis [5/8] vs Ana Rovita [2] - Ganis has been a revelation this week, beating Febby Angguni and Hanna Ramadhini. Can she beat Ana Rovita for 3-in-a-row?? Ana has the edge though.... GD Anggi Widya Setiawan/Ayu Pratiwi [5/8] vs Lidya Pradita/Yayu Rahayu [5/8] - Lidya/Yayu have been beating opponents with higher seeding position. Can they lift the GD title? XD Ricky Karanda Suwardi/Ayu Pratiwi [1] vs Didit Juang Indrianto/Yayu Rahayu [2] - the other Final which feature the top 2-seeds. Ricky/Ayu to take this one!
In Dewasa category, as expected two Marias in WS final tomorrow. Both Kristin and Febe eliminated their opponent, Aprilia and Nana respectively with same duration, exact 1 hour.
