Novalia Agustianti just manages to make it to R16 after a tough victory over Nittayaporn Nipatsant [9/16] in 3 sets: 21-18, 20-22, 21-19. She should have won it in straight-sets as she led 20-14 only to be overturned 20-22. Let's see if she can beat Fabienne Deprez [5/8] to win a place in the last 8 and possibly another YOG spot for INA??? Meanwhile, Millicent Wiranto lost as expected and INA is only left with 1 pair in XD as Wahyu Nayaka/Novalia Agustianti will face Ow Yao Han/Lai Pei Jing [2] in R16.
Carolina MARIN [9/16] ESP - Ga Hee KANG KOR 21-13 21-9 wow... now Carolina faces Xuan DENG [3/4, Q] ... interesting match??
Riyanto, Jones-Dandi, Beta-Aulia, Wahyu-Novalia, and Novalia are through... Great! Bring on the rest of the world! I like this BWF World Junior event... it feels like a mini-olympics...
You're perfectly right, 13 countries have representative in R16 GD, including 2 Turkish pairs what a colourful world of badminton!! More colourful in BD, with 14 countries represented in R16...
he is a humble guy like wch he had groin injury thats why he lost in team event and get rested anyway he is pretty good ------------------------------------ too bad sonia/li lian lost wd wonder if li lian get upset by her defeat in ws
It's all over for second seed Loh Wei Sheng He went down to unknown India player, probably his injury still bothering him.
Yeah, sorta expected after his groin injury & after the coaches rested Loh in semi & 3rd place tie in Team. But I'm glad at least his place in Youth OG is secured already.
Well, best of luck to Zufadli, the sole player who is carrying the hopes of Malaysia winning a BS title. If he plays his very best, I believe he will win it, but I can very well remember the AJC earlier. As for Ow/Yew, I hope they can play confidently all the way like against INA in the AJC where they beat them even worse than Li Gen and Song Ziwei Not make uncharacteristic errors in the final again or like against Denmark's MD where they staged an awesome comeback. These are our two main hopes. Followed by... Ow/Lai - Has Lai fully recovered? I'm worried for her.
She played 3 matches yesterday & won. She's ok & requests for fans support that her 'body can tahan, no more hospital'. So, cheer & pray2 for her lor.
