Still no updated draws yet....these are Team INA's matches for today: There's a possibility that Pelatnas players like Alamsyah Yunus and Andreas Adityawarman might also withdraw to concentrate on the Thomas Cup MS4 selection. Good decision since they are likely to exit in the first match against Bao Chunlai and Chetan Anand anyway. Not sure too about Fransisca Ratnasari. Men's Doubles R32 Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae [1] vs Bona Septano/Mohd Ahsan -- an uphill task for Bona/Ahsan. Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki vs Khoo Chung Chiat/Mohd Razif Abdul Latif -- another tricky first match for Rian/Yoke. Ross Smith/Glenn Warfe vs Anggun Nugroho/Devin Lahardi -- not sure of this one...I hope Anggun/Devin progress. Chang Hun Pin/Chan Peng Soon vs Hendra A. Gunawan/Joko Riyadi [7] -- tricky too for AG/Joko, but, nothing less than QF will be satisfying here. Robert Blair/Richard Eidestedt vs Tony Gunawan/Candra Wijaya [2] -- a breeze for Tony/Candra. Women's Doubles R32 Ng Poao Leng/Lim Yin Loo vs Rani Mundiasti/Endang Nursugianti -- Rani/Endang should beat the Malaysia Juniors. Nathalia Christine Poluakan/Yulianti vs Shinta Mulia Sari/Yao Lei -- a tricky match, but, Lia's experience should see the INA pair through to the next round. Jo Novita/Greysia Polii vs Chong Sock Chin/Amelia Alicia Anselly -- nothing less than a SF finish will be satisfying here for Jo/Grace. Lita Nurlita/Nitya Krishinda earn a BYE to R16 and they could even progress to QF with a relatively easy draw in R16. Mixed Doubles R32 Chang Hun Pin/Amelia Alicia Anselly vs Tantowi Ahmad/Yulianti -- I hope Towi/Yuli can clear their first hurdle in Hyderabad. Kennevic Asuncion/Kennie Asuncion vs Mohd Rijal/Greysia Polii -- should be straight forward for Rijal/Grace. Tan Wee Kiong/Woon Khe Wei vs Devin Lahardi/Lita Nurlita [7] -- a tricky match too for Devin/Lita.
They already withdrew: Alamsyah/Aditya also Joko/hendra Xu, Juliene, Yonekura, WMC also....Anup, Richard Vaughan, Andre all withdrew
BWF will update the result in their website starting today..if not..we will get their full result everyday...
So many withdrawals here which making this tournament lack of participants and competitive atmosphere. Again, Hauge we depend on your posting to know the result...
Anita def Filipa Lamy in 2 sets ( only 1 WS match) because it is way too hot...Organizer stopped all matches due to heat and lets the hall cool down a bit for one hour....
No air condition and Filipa Lamy was upset as they put her only match only before delaying the rest.......she said it was really hot...
Additional match in MD R32: Guo Zhendong/Xie Zhongbo [5] vs Mohd Rijal/Tantowi Ahmad -- sparring exercise for Rijal/Towi. Nathalia Poluakan/Yulianti will get a free ticket to QF if they can beat Shinta Mulia Sari/Yao Lei later, since Nicole Grether/Juliane Schenk have withdrawn. The top-seed Chien Yu-Chin/Cheng Wen-Hsing progress to QF without playing a match.
A good start....the matchups in R16 are likely to be: He Hanbin/Yu Yang [1] vs Tantowi Ahmad/Yulianti Ingo Kindervater/Katrin Piotrowski [8] vs Mohd Rijal/Greysia Polii Fang Chieh-Min/Cheng Wen-Hsing vs Devin Lahardi/Lita Nurlita [7]
