  Hendra, Ahsan favor Germany in World Cup

mid their busy schedules competing in the 2014 BCA Indonesia Open Metlife BWF World Super Series Premier, which runs from June 17 until June 22, Indonesia'€™s top men'€™s doubles players Hendra Setiawan, Mohammad Ahsan are still keeping tabs on the World Cup.

'€œWe can only see the clips,'€ said Hendra after a match against compatriot Gideon Markus Fernaldi-Markis Kido on Friday.

When asked about their favorite team, both Hendra and Ahsan said '€œGermany'€. However Hendra believes it will be the host Brazil who will win the world'€™s biggest soccer tournament this year.

'€œI still believe Germany will win,'€ Ahsan begs to differ.

Hendra and Ahsan will be Indonesia'€™s only representatives advancing to the semifinals of the Indonesia Open after defeating Gideon-Markis 21-13 21-23 21-13.

They will face either Taiwan'€™s Sheng Mu Lee-Chia Hsin Tsai or South Korea'€™s Kim Ki Jung-Kim Sa Rang on Saturday. (dic)
