    Lucky you, Astro buys exclusive BWF tournaments package. No one TV cable in Indonesia even cares about badminton.

    Indonesian viewers must be more lucky since they can watch this tournament on national TV channel for free. :D:p

    Brice wins 21-18, 21-19! But well tmrw is getting tougher between Kanta and Ginting. Kanta beat Brice in IO 2018, so this should be interesting.

    Yup, I know last minute decision and don't think so TVRI will broadcast whole match.

    Brice has good chance to get to SF . The point is he can give his best playing one less matches than his rivals. WTW have tasted that.

    It's not only Bice Leverdez playing well but I think Wang Tzu Wei's novelty effect has worn off, his fast hard-hitting game, quick intercepts and power smashes are being read by more players. Besides, it's hard to keep up that kind of power play, physically very demanding, match after match and tournament after tournament.

    And he's only 23 years old, even the now 28-yr-old Chou Tien Chen who used to play that way is slowing down, playing a more all-rounded game since a year or so ago.

    Kantaphon, at 19, is also a hard-hitter, lots of speed and power. I'll like to see how long he can carry on in that manner.

    They usually broadcast the court in which filled by INA players mostly though. Still better than having nothing la..

    TVRI always saves my internet quota. :D:p

    The decision of skipping two Super 500 tournaments were not giving the INA players advantage at all. Maybe it would have been a better idea to have them warmed up in some tournament. I know the risk of injuries is the biggest concern, but looks like they always perform less after a break.

    I think its the effect of ThomasCup, after that the MS are playing like sht. stupid, cant even move on. wonder why they play for national team?

    In fact, Tommy has performed better in all 3 tours and 4 include this. Thats why, its a blunder. In the end, they feel like they are not good enough and just make themselves miserable.

    Earlier, CHN MD Zhou Haodong/Han Chengkai gave the Minions a big scare.
