    Yep..., I am here.

    GAME! MATCH! :D :D :D

    Wow, then the future of Rian-Yoke to go to the semifinals looks very good. Aside from the Japanese pair, the other competitors in their side of the draw are all quite beatable... ;)

    YES! The Djarum contingent marches on as Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki win their first competitive match of the year in style, beating the much-improved Tadashi Ohtsuka/Keita Masuda in straight sets 21-15, 21-16.

    Next up for them will be either the Russian pair or Canadian pair.

    Its tough to expect Bona/Ahsan to beat the WC Bronze-Medallist. Even Rian/Yoke lost to them in the Russian Open SF :eek:

    It seems like in the future Djarum would have better players compared to pelatnas

    Up next for Fran Kurniawan/Rendra Wijaya will be the improved Chinese-Taipei pair of Fang Chieh-Min/Lee Sheng-Mu. Can Fran/Rendra beat them and progress to the QF?

    If Rian/Yoke can get past the Russian/Canadian pair tomorrow (they should be "easier" to face than the Japanese pair today :rolleyes:), then, its likely they have a Korean pair Han Sang Hoon/Cho Gun Woo as their opponent in the QF. Remember...this Korean pair beat Kido/Hendra in the All-England R16 last year :eek: Rian/Yoke also lost to the junior Korean pair of Kwon Yi Goo/Koo Sung Hyun in the Vietnam Open 2007 :cool: So, not so easy for Rian/Yoke to reach the SF as well.

    Rian-Yoke should not get complacent tomorrow....so I hope they do their best...a Semifinal finish here would make a good warm up bfore facing Cai-Fu in All England innit?

    So, it will be Rian/Yoke vs Durkin/Nikolaenko (which they have beaten in the Dutch Open SF).

    Now, it will really be a MIRACLE if Bona/Ahsan were to topple the other Japanese pair.

    So far Bona-Ahsan is proving our 'pessimistic' expectation wrong... :D :D :D 21-12 in the 1st game, 3-1 in the 2nd against Sakamoto-Ikeda! Maybe the Japanese team ate the wrong food or still got jet-lag or something... :confused: They should not be outlassed by this INA pair... [though I am not complaining] :p :D

    And Deni Kantono is coaching the Djarum WD now. He just joined the coaching team again.

    Yes, the 1996 MD Atlanta Olympic Bronze Medalist Antonius-Deni...

    Uh-oh... 9-8 in the 2nd game now... Ah 10-9... the Japanese have shaken off their jet-lag!

    The second set is appreciably closer...but, Bona/Ahsan are still ahead 11-9. If they can maintain the 2 pts gap, they could score an upset here :eek:

    13 smashes vs 7 by the Japanese pair. This could be a reason?
