That game was going on forever. There were momentous matches coming and going while the Japanese ladies carried on and on. I left the stadium as Carolina entered and am amazed to here that it's still going!
She hasn't, I was watching, when she stepped on adjacent court and I am sure my ears heard a lot of those 'famous' shrieks
bah..... All INA MD pairs are out. Hendra/Ahsan, and Angga/Ricky are out to TBH/KKK and Endo/Hayakawa.
I heard less screaming this time around.(or maybe I got used to it already) But that's because she had a pretty easy opponent I don't mind her screaming anyways since I watch tennis and have to listen to hours of grunting haha
Glad to see TTZ seems to be focused today as she is cruising through her encounter with the tough SJY
Momota on a good day is too big of a challenge for Srikanth, he has no particular weapons against him. Everyting he does, Momota is doing it a little bit better. I don't see him winning this match nor this set.
He is 1-2 on 2015 and the only time he won was at the Indian Open with the super extra huge home support and even with the home support, it was still a 3 set 1 hour match. This tells me that as of today Momota has a clear advantage over Srikanth. (Momota has rised to rank 3 while Srikanth has dropped to rank 10 as well during 2015) But let's see this match, I could be surprised although as I watch it, I see Momota really dictating the game and dominating his opponent.
And it's over for Srikanth. Momota really cruised through this match with ease. Another very convincing straight win.
Herry IP: “Hendra/Ahsan target merebut gelar juara” Empat pasangan ganda putra Indonesia siap bertarung untuk menorehkan tinta emas di ajang All England Open 2016 yang merupakan turnamen bulutangkis tertua di dunia. Mereka adalah Hendra Setiawan/ Mohammad Ahsan, Angga Pratama/Ricky Karanda Suwardi, Berry Angriawan/Rian Agung Saputro dan Marcus Fernaldi Gideon/Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo. Hendra/Ahsan yang pernah mengecap gelar juara di tahun 2014, kali ini mendapat target dari Herry Iman Pierngadi sang pelatih untuk merebut gelar juara. Tahun lalu langkah Hendra/Ahsan terhenti di babak kedua saat berhadapan ganda Tiongkok, Fu Haifeng/Zhang Nan. Hendra/Ahsan takluk dalam laga tiga game 16-21, 21-19 dan 18-21. “Dari ganda putra, Hendra/Ahsan saya targetkan untuk merebut gelar juara. Sementara untuk ganda putra lainnya, minimal harus bisa mengalahkan pemain-pemain unggulan. Saya sudah mewanti pemain, siapapun lawannya harus tetap waspada. Tetap fokus juga pada persiapan diri sendiri,” kata Herry seperti kami kutip di situs resmi PBSI, Badmintonindonesia.org. Mengawali laga babak pertamanya di turnamen berkelas super series premier dengan total hadiah USD 550,000 ini, Hendra/ Ahsan yang kini berada di peringkat 2 dunia akan berhadapan dengan ganda Denmark, Kim Astrup/Anders Skaarup Rasmussen. Dua kali bertemu dengan Astrup/Rasmussen, Hendra/Ahsan tak pernah takluk. Sementara Angga Pratama/Ricky Karanda Suwardi yang kini berada di peringkat 11 dunia akan berhadapan dengan ganda putra Taiwan peringkat 15 dunia, Lee Sheng Mu/ Tsai Chia Hsin. Keduanya pasangan ini belum pernah bertemu sebelumnya. Berry Angriawan/Ryan Agung Saputra yang kini berada di peringkat 26 dunia akan menghadapi ganda Tiongkok, Liu Xiaolong/ Qiu Zihan yang kini berada di peringkat 10 dunia. Dan kedua pasangan ini juga belum pernah saling berhadapan sebelumnya. Dan ganda putra Indonesia lainnya, Gideon Markus Fernaldi/ Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo yang kini berada di peringkat 14 dunia akan berhadapan dengan ganda terbaik Tiongkok, Fu Haifeng/Zhang Nan yang kini menempat peringkat 3 dunia. Gideon/Kevin telah pernah bertemu sebelumnya sekali di ajang Yonex Open Chinese Taipei 2015, dan mengalami kekalahan dari Fu/Zhang dua game langsung 13-21 dan 8-21.
