Tommy Sugiarto book quarter ticket as he win so easy against Ukranian Zavadsky, 21-10, 21-10 and probably will meet China Lu Yi tonight.
Kaveh Mehrabi is so lucky....with Chen Hong's withdrawal...he is thru R16 without playing any single game at all...it is chance for Alamsyah to reach his first qtr final ( If I am correct)
Both Anggun Nugroho/Tantowi Akhmad and Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki have progressed to the QF to ensure at least a place in the last 4 for INA. Meanwhile, Rendra Wijaya/Fran Kurniawan have lost to Michal Logosz/Robert Mateusiak in rubber-sets 20-22, 23-21, 9-21. No power stamina in the rubber-set? In the WD, Yulianti/Nathalia Christine Yulianti have lost to the top-seed Chien Yu-Chin/Cheng Wen-Hsing 12-21, 12-21 as expected.
MEN'S SINGLES QF Chen Yu [1] vs Ari Yuli Wahyu Hartanto -- a good achievement for Wahyu in reaching the QF. Can he beat Chen Yu? Joachim Persson [3] vs Andre Kurniawan Tedjono [8] -- Andre fulfills his seeding, but can he go further in beating the Danes? Tommy Sugiarto vs Lu Yi -- time for Tommy to prove that he's one for the future. The Chinese has an edge. Arvind Bhat vs Alamsyah Yunus -- Chen Hong's withdrawal means that those in the lower half benefits and Alam should take advantage. WOMEN'S SINGLES QF Fransisca Ratnasari vs Sara Persson -- can Nana continue her good form? I hope so. MEN'S DOUBLES QF Anggun Nugroho/Tantowi Akhmad vs Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki [8] -- Pelatnas vs Djarum and I am leaning towards the Djarum pair. MIXED DOUBLES QF He Hanbin/Yu Yang [1] vs Anggun Nugroho/Nathalia Christine Poluakan -- Anggun's experience in the XD is really good to have and his partnership with Lia should be similar to Devin/Lita...a good backup pair that can rise to top 20. However, facing the top seed, they probably stand a small chance only.
The INA players can make it into a All-INA Semi-Finals if they really try hard enough and luck is on their side. First up is Ari Yuli Wahyu Hartanto. He stole the first set from Chen Yu, despite trailing 12-15. Chen Yu only managed to win 1 more point as Wahyu took it 21-16. It's pretty tight in the second set, with scores locked at 14-14.
