\nleast the quarterfinals as top seeds would compete in the four-
\nstar event.<\/p>\n
\"There are Sun Jun of China and Peter Gade Christensen of
\nDenmark. It will be hard for me to win but I will prove that
\nwinning the Indonesia Open means something,\" said the Indonesia
\nOpen champion, who ranks third in the world.<\/p>\n
Indonesian Hariyanto Arbi, who is trying to recapture his
\nmoment of glory after winning the Singapore Open, is seeded

Indonesia's men's doubles are expected to regain their
\ndominancy in the tournament with the absence of South Korean
\nduos.<\/p>\n
