Men's Singles

Chen Jin - Simon Santoso 22-20 21-15
Nguyen Tien Minh - Sho Sasaki 21-19 21-11

Chen has been truly stretching himself in order to secure the Olympic place. Should he win the Australian Open GPG, it will be the second title in a row after his success in Switzerland. Meanwhile Nguyen continues his positive run by ousting the more favorite Sasaki, the 2nd seeded in this year's Australian Open.

Women's Singles

Bae Youn-joo - Ai Goto 21-13 21-12
Han Li - Sung Ji-hyun 21-15 21-12

What a run made by the teenaged Han Li and what a good sign for Bae after yesterday's joy. It is going to be an interesting match where the seniority of the Korean star meets the Chinese future star.

Men's Doubles

One step ahead for Markis/Hendra to get any possibility to attend the "London Summit" in the next Summer Olympic Games. Can these reigning Olympic champions make it through? It's a nail-biting momentum for all Indonesian fans. Playing the Chinese Taipei's Fang/Lee will not an easy job.

Women's Doubles

Luo Ying/Luo Yu - Shizuka Matsuo/Mami Naito 21-16 21-15
Cheng Wen Hsing/Chien Yu Chin - Miyuki Maeda/Satoko Suetsuna 21-19 21-19

It must be an upset for Japan because none of their two pairs to go through the final match tomorrow. It's Luo Ying/Luo Yu who have drawn attention with their awesome performance. The Chinese future pairs deserve the address of "giant killers". Their opponents, Chen/Cheng, are, once again, far more experienced. But the Chinese are in the euphoria. So let us see what happen tomorrow.

Mixed Doubles

Chan Peng Soon/Goh Liu Ying - Shintaro Ikeda/Reiko Shiota (Can/Goh wins by walkover)
Chen Hung Ling/Cheng Wen Hsing - Kenichi Hayakawa/Misaki Matsutomo 18-21 21-19 21-6

Hayakawa/Masutomo completed the Japan's worst day of the month, while Chan/Goh were the lucky pairs due to the walkover of the favorite Ikeda/Shiota. Malaysia joins the title race.

0 Neslihan Yigit Mutiara Bulutangkis Aegea

Dekade lalu bulutangkis negara Turki belum menunjukkan kiprah yang nyata dalam peta bulutangkis dunia. Seiring dengan perkembangan olahraga ini, dalam beberapa tahun belakangan Turki beranjak ikut serta secara aktif di dalamnya. Pada gilirannya, pebulutangkis Turki bukan sekedar menjadi pelengkap undian pertandingan, melainkan sesekali mencuri perhatian dengan prestasi mereka dalam event-event perorangan kalender reguler BWF, meskipun baru pada tingkat International Challenge, International Series, dan Future Series.

Salah satu pemeran utama bulutangkis Turki adalah Neslihan Yigit. Pebulutangkis putri ini boleh dikatakan menjadi yang terbaik di kawasan Semenanjung Aegea, kawasan di mana negara Turki berada. Ia sekarang menduduki peringkat ke-47 dunia (tunggal putri) dan ke-40 (ganda putri, bersama Ozge Bayrak), dan untuk kawasan Eropa Yigit berada pada peringkat ke-16 (tunggal putri) dan ke-9 (ganda putri, bersama Ozge Bayrak)

Sepanjang musim 2012 Quarter 1 (Januari-Maret), Pebulutangkis kelahiran 26 Pebruari 1994 ini telah bermain sebanyak 36 kali (24 tunggal dan 12 ganda putri). Grafik prestasinya memiliki tren naik menyusul suksesnya menjuarai Iran Fajr International, menjadi runners-up Croatian International dan Polish International, dan masuk semifinal Uganda International dan Austrian International. Sedangkan pada nomor ganda putri, Yigit bersama kompatriotnya, Bayrak, menjadi runners-up Iran Fajr International.
