Sigh...the top-seed in MD Ronald Alexander/Selvanus Geh lost to the MAS pair Tai An Khang/Tan Wee Gleen [7] in 3 tight-sets.
Andre Marteen is improving..

wont be a surprise, and seriously wont be too much to ask them to do so in a home ground IC, particularly when there is a SSP going on (drawn away all the top players), and another IC in denmark (drawn away 2nd string players in europe) which essentially only make 2nd string players around the region to join.
MS SF Pakkawat Vilailak vs Wisnu Yuli Prasetyo [9] - I hope Wisnu can prevail and challenge for the title. WD SF Ririn Amelia/Melvira Oklamona vs Amelia Alicia Anscelly/Soong Fie Choo [2] - the MAS pair is more experienced and has the edge. XD SF Mohd Lutfi Zaim Abdul Khalid/Vivian Hoo Kah Mun [8] vs Lukhi Apri Nugroho/Annisa Saufika [3] - Lukhi/Annisa have done well in fulfilling their seeding, but, I think the MAS pair will take this one.
let see [TABLE="class: ruler matches"] [TR="bgcolor: #FDFDFD"] [TD="align: right"][TABLE] [TR="bgcolor: transparent"] [TD="align: right"]Lukhi Apri Nugroho [3][/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD="align: right"]Annisa Saufika[/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [TD="align: center"]-[/TD] [TD][TABLE] [TR="bgcolor: transparent"] [TD][/TD] [TD]Mohd Lutfi Zaim Abdul Khalid [8][/TD] [/TR] [TR="bgcolor: transparent"] [TD][/TD] [TD]Vivian Kah Mun Hoo[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [TD]21-19 15-21 21-17[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]
Another upset by Lukhi Apri Nugroho/Annisa Saufika! They are now in the Final, possibly facing Ong Jian Gup/Woon Khe Wei. The INA pair will be ranked in the top 80 in just 6 tourneys!
Wisnu Yuli Prasetyo [9] is also in the Final after another 3-sets victory over Pakkawat Vilailak 21-14, 12-21, 21-17! He will face either Mohd Hafiz Hashim [1] or Chan Kwong Beng [8].
Good jobs for INA XD and MS for reaching the final..... hope the rest will follow suit following many defeats yesterday in INA's team ...
The unseeded Ririn Amelia/Melvira Oklamona also advance to the Final to face the top seed Chow Mei Kuan/Lee Meng Yean. Perfect results for INA today. Let's see if we can win at least 1 title tomorrow. It will be tough though.
MS FINAL Mohd Hafiz Hashim [1] vs Wisnu Yuli Prasetyo [9] - Wisnu has done extremely well once again in progressing to the Final. In terms of results, I would say he is the best among all the other young MS players (including Vito). Can he win his first international title against Yoyo Hafiz tomorrow? He has a good chance but at the moment Hafiz has the edge. WD FINAL Chow Mei Kuan/Lee Meng Yean [1] vs Ririn Amelia/Melvira Oklamona - ditto for Chow/Lee. But, I wouldn't be suprised if Ririn/Melvira beat the top-seed. XD FINAL Lukhi Apri Nugroho/Annisa Saufika [3] vs Ong Jian Guo/Woon Khe Wei [7] - at the moment, all the 3 INA representatives in the Final are underdogs. Nevertheless, I hope some of them (if not all) prove me wrong (like today)!
wao, other then the already decided MD, 3 other games featured indoneasia vs malaysia... hmmm, seriously i onder if malaysian can get a clean sweep
