Gideon Fernaldi's XD partner, Rizki Amelia Pradipta, has some odd positions on court when he is receiving serve and even after the first return (usually to the net).
He won't go far with this partner![]()
Personally, I think they play XD as warm-up event for their main events in MD and WD. Not much expectation in XD. Unfortunately, this tourney is the rare tourney whereby they manage to progress to R16 while losing in R32 in their main events.
Overall, they only managed to progress to R16 or QF in 3 other events (China Masters SS, Japan SS, China SSP, and INA GPG).
