Indonesia or Japan, Which Get Two Success ?

The YONEX SUNRISE India Open Superseries come to the last phase after all-semifinals completely finished this Saturday night. In mixed doubles, with no doubt Indonesia lock the crown after third seeded Fran Kurniawan-Pia Zebadiah Bernadet beat Malaysians Chan Peng Soon-Goh Liu Ying 21-21 21-6 in only 35 minutes. Before the match, the other semifinal which met all-Indonesians won by Tantowi Ahmad-Liliyana Natsir. Tantowi-Liliyana got the first game by 21-17 from Muhammad Rijal-Debby Susanto, but the second game finished on leading 15-9 after Rijal decided to retire from the match because of his waist injury.


Japan also locked the crown on women's doubles, after the top seeds (No. 1, 2) got success on their semifinal show. Miyuki Maeda-Satoko Suetsuna were given a fright by fourth seeded Indonesians Meiliana Jauhari-Greysia Polii before prevailing 25-23 21-8. On the other side, Mizuki Fujii-Reika Kakiiwa must have played rubber game before stunned Hongkong's Poon Lok Yan-Tse Ying Suet 21-17 16-21 21-16 in 61 minutes.


Japan and Indonesia can add one more crown if one of them can beat each other on the men's doubles final. The final will meet fourth seeded Hirokatsu Hashimoto-Noriyasu Hirata which sent back first seeded Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong 21-16, 21-19 and underdog of Indonesians Angga Pratama-Rian Agung Saputra which scored a convincing 21-23, 21-18, 21-14 victory from Alvent Yulianto Chandra-Hendra Aprida Gunawan.
