Kido/Pia, Edi/Gloria, and Riky/Richi are already through. Surprisingly, Irfan/Weni are struggling against the Japanese pair, despite their upset victory over the top-seed yesterday.
Nope, it's over, close battle at the end... Congrats for the Japanese, this Yonemoto girl beats 2 INA pair today... Seems like I expect too much from Irfan/Weni..
Too bad Irfan/Weni didn't make it as they lost to Japanese pair Kamura/Yonemoto in rubber games despite INA XD gained 5 points in a row to close the gap at decider, 18-21 / 21-16 / 19-21.
Tomorrow this Japanese pair is gonna meet MAS pair, they have beat them once before in Japan SS, last year..
Yeah, too bad. I had such a high hopes on them since they have eliminated Thai top pair yesterday, their path seems wide open then, until they stumbled upon this Japanese giant killer...
WS is being dominated by local players, Rat, Porntip, Sapsiree, Jindapon, and Busanan.. It seems only Saina that can stop them...
Yes, I was right, and so are many other Pawers. WS R16 matches went accordingly to the higher seeds. In the QF, I think the No 1 - Saina, No 2 - Inthanon, and No 3 - Porntip should progress. The unpreditable (to me) is between No 4 - Pai Hsiao Ma and No 5 - Sapsiree. I think Sapsiree has a chance here.
