SCG Thailand Open 2012 Comment on Matches (Main Draw)

If the head of the department in charge of coaching, players, and tourneys planning (Hadi Nasri) resigned just barely 1.5 year after the previous one (Lius Pongoh) left the same post, it signals a big internal problem within PBSI. 2 resignations in just 1 term of leadership under Pak Djoko Susanto...something that was unheard of (correct me if I am wrong) in the previous terms.

Djoko Santoso, PBSI chief denied INA badminton achievement slumped. Olala...
 
Surprisingly, Lukhi Apri Nugroho/Annisa Saufika managed to beat Kang Ji Wook/Lee So Hee in straight-sets. So, they reach R16 in their first international tourney and will have the experience of testing the top-seed Joachim Fischer Nielsen/Christinna Pedersen tomorrow.
 
Fran Kurniawan/Shendy Puspa Irawati also beat the seeded Thai pair. The road is now open for them to progress to SF.
 
Matches running late again. Why some organisers never learnt the lessons from the past. There is already bad publicity from All England this year. I think today we will expect the last match to be played after midnight.
 
The world junior champions, Alfian/Gloria lost tightly to TPE pair..

The TPE pair has ever beaten Rijal/Debby in Indonesia GPG
So,it's not too bad for Alfian/Gloria :)
