The casualty list for INA players was pretty much was what I expected, but I am glad that Andre and Febe can progress! More will fall today and I believe Pelatnas will only be relying on their XD pairs in the QF. MS R32 Taufik Hidayat [1] vs Wong Wing Ki Anup Sridhar [16] vs Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka -- a tough match for Hayom and it marks a progress if he can beat Anup. Tommy Sugiarto vs Kim Sa Rang -- I still do not trust Tommy's ability and I think the KOR player will continue to progress. Andre Kurniawan Tedjono [8] vs Chan Yun Lung -- should be a straight forward match for Andre. WS R16 Maria Febe Kusumastuti [5] vs Hung Shih-Han -- I think Maria can still progress Fransiska Ratnasari vs Bae Seung Hee -- a much tougher match for Nana and I hope she can progress. MD R16 Hendra A. Gunawan/Alvent Yulianto Chandra [3] vs Rasmus Bonde/Mikkel Delbo Larsen -- another Danish pair for AG/Alvent and I hope with Jung/Lee's withdrawal, they can progress beyond SF. WD R16 Zhang Dan/Zhang Zhibo vs Annisa Wahyuni/Anneke Feinya Agustine -- this marks the end of the road for INA's WD (yet again). XD R16 Mohd Rijal/Liliyana Natsir [5] vs Mikkel Delbo Larsen/Mie Scjott-Kristensen -- Rijal/Butet should be careful not to be upset by the upcoming Danish XD pair. Suddenly, there's a resurgence in XD for Denmark. They have 2 solid pairs in the World Champion Laybourn/Rytter-Juhl, and Bronze-Medallist Fischer-Nielsen/Pedersen. I think this one might just turn up to be another top 10 pair. Hendra A. Gunawan/Vita Marissa vs Yoo Yeon Seong/Kim Min Jung [7] -- a tough match for AG/Vita and I think the KOR pair might just win it. Fran Kurniawan/Pia Bernadet Zebadiah vs Yohan Hadikusumo Wiratama/Chau Hoi Wah [4] -- a repeat of the NZL Open GP Final and I hope Fran/Pia can deliver again! Tontowi Ahmad/Richi Puspita Dili vs Hui Wai Ho/Tse Ying Suet -- with the withdrawal of Sudket/Saralee, it opens up the path for Towi/Richi to reach at least QF.
Thx for updating Hayom likely will take on Boonsak Ponsana tonight unless Jang Young Soo could create upset...
If the news is true that Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka, then, it certainly marks a good progress for the PB Djarum player! I am looking forward to whether he can create further upset by beating Boonsak Ponsana/Jang Young Soo for a place in the QF tomorrow!
I just found laser result from http://demo7-13.101eboss.com/product/16/YONEX%20OPEN%20CHINESE%20TAIPEI%20_2009_0827(AM)Results.xls
