MS top-seed Andre Tedjono is already out, Yunus v Wisnu Yuli should be close QF contest. Defending champion Jonatan Christie and hot fave Lee Hyun-il still continue their campaign to last eight. The promising young double specialist, Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo also progressed, partnered with Della Destiara they will take on Rijal/Marissa but suprisingly he got first round exit for MD discipline.
Two malaysian junior ws make a big surprised when they advanced to semifinal at their first international tournament, goh jinwei 14 yo and ho yenmei 19 yo has to play from the qualification and beat some seeded player before they through to semifinal.... Meanwhile indonesia only represented by 1 ws in semifinal, 1st seed and 2012 champion, hera desi... I thing its a slap in the face for pbsi, coz in their homeground no ws from the national team made through to sf...
Jonathan Christie is through to his second consecutive Final at the INA IC 2014 (after winning the MS title last year). He will be up against either Alamsyah Yunus or Lee Hyun Il. Jojo has done well to beat two seeded players like Khosit Phetpradab [5] and Evert Sukamta. INA is guaranteed at least 3 titles in MD, WD, and XD. The WS title is still up for grab between JPN and INA or MAS.
It's Jonathan Christie vs Lee Hyun Il and Hera Desi vs Mayu Matsumoto. It will be a great learning experience for young Jojo to beat the veteran Korean.
The Japanese WS Mayu Matsumoto disposed top-seed Hera Desi Ana Rachmawati in five sets. Another top-seed losing is Rijal/Marissa who stunned by Alexander/Oktaviani. Double disappointments for Vita Marissa here as she also lost to Suci/Tiara in WD final.
Third title in this year for KOR veteran Lee Hyun Il after Srilanka IC and Canada GP, def. defending champion Jonatan Christie in tight battle, 11-10 / 9-11 / 5-11 / 11-8 / 11-3.
Ronald/Melati is good. They can beat the US open champion. They should play more in GPG and GP level. Maybe they can be another strong XD. Fajar Alfian/Rian is also good. They can beat Kevin/Selvanus in early round and win all the way to be the champion. Final against another strong new MD combination, Fran/Agripinna
