In reply to Kaka's request

Maybe I'm a bit one-sided for posting the likes of Reiko Shiota and Wang Lin, the beauties in the pro badminton world (see Crush post). Well, I did a little research to satisfy the other sex.
If Kaka watches tennis because of the "cute gorgeous guys," then maybe ... just maybe below would be reason enough to also watch badminton matches.

Congratulations to the following Pinoys for making it to the quarterfinals:
WS - Malvinne Ann Venice Alcala
MD - Kelving Panganiban/Gabriel Villanueva
XD - Trikus Harjanto (IND)/Minarti Timur (PHI)

Alcala and Panganiban/Villanueve advanced to the quarters by beating other Filipinos. The rest of the Pinoys lost to other countries, except for the Indonesia-Philippine tandem Trikus/Minarti.
Minarti wasn't really born a Filipina. She used to represent Indonesia but migrated hear to coach and run a badminton club business. She's now 41 years old, with Trikus 35 years old, just a few years shy. They're the oldest pair in the tournament.
During their days, they were piled among the best mixed doubles pairs, winning several titles including the Thailand (1994), Indonesia (1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2001), Singapore (1995, 1998), Malaysia (1996, 1998, 2000), and Chinese Taipei (2002) Opens; the Badminton World Cup (1995); the World Badminton Grand Prix (1995); the Southeast Asian Games (1995); and the Badminton Asia Championships (1996).
It seems like they haven't lost their "mojo". c",)
