It will be an interesting afternoon, with matches starting at 2pm local time.

MEN'S SINGLES
Taufik Hidayat [1] vs Nguyen Tien-Minh -- should be Taufik's to lose....but Tien-Minh deserves a bronze medal for his good effort his year.

Boonsak Ponsana [3] vs Kendrick Lee Yen Hui -- Kendrick took down 2 good players in the past two days. Tomorrow's match against Boonsak will be another classic hopefully, with the crowds cheering for the home player. Boonsak has the edge.

MEN'S DOUBLES
Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan [1] vs Gan Teik Chai/Lin Woon Fui [4] -- a rematch of the Macau Open QF in which the Malaysian nearly won. Kido/Hendra beat the Thai pair in straight sets today and it will not be easy as always against Malaysian pair :cool:

Hendri Kurniawan Saputra/Hendra Wijaya [3] vs Hendra A. Gunawan/Joko Riyadi [2] -- should be a cracking match and AG/Joko will have their hands full tomorrow. A 50-50 match...and I am leaning towards the Singapore pair.

WOMEN'S SINGLES
Adriyanti Firdasari vs Soratja Chansrisukot -- Firda did well in beating Li Li today. Does she still have the energy to beat the home player?

Julia Wong Pei Xian vs Maria Kristin Yulianti [2] -- Maria should win this one.

WOMEN'S DOUBLES
Jiang Yanmei/Li Yujia [1] vs Vita Marissa/Liliyana Natsir [4] -- an interesting match is in store and Vita/Butet have the edge.

Duang-Anong Arunkesorn/Kunchala Voravitchitchaikul [3] vs Jo Novita/Greysia Polii -- Jo/Greysia should advance to the Final.

MIXED DOUBLES
Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir [1] vs Sudket Prapakamol/Saralee Thoungthongkam [3] (MATCH OF THE DAY) -- the MOTD tomorrow...recent matchups between the two pairs is 1-1. The key is to contain Sudket.

Hendri Kurniawan Saputra/Li Yujia [4] vs Flandy Limpele/Vita Marissa [2] -- another tricky match...but Flandy/Vita should hold the edge.

MEN'S SINGLES
Taufik Hidayat [1] vs Nguyen Tien-Minh -- err, should I really vote for Taufik? I mean, he has lost to Tien-Minh before, you know .... Ah, what the heck, Taufik needs to show his daughter that he can be no 1. :D

Boonsak Ponsana [3] vs Kendrick Lee Yen Hui -- Boonsak has the edge, check. He has the support, check. He also has the pressure, having won World Uni Games at home soil, check. Kendrick and his newfound "flagpole bearing" strength might just pull off a wonderful upset here ....... :)

MEN'S DOUBLES
Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan [1] vs Gan Teik Chai/Lin Woon Fui [4] -- a rematch of the Macau Open QF in which this time, there will be no mercy to the Malaysians. Gan/Lin are not in the best of form this week, hard to see them even keeping the scores close. :confused:

Hendri Kurniawan Saputra/Hendra Wijaya [3] vs Hendra A. Gunawan/Joko Riyadi [2] -- A much closer match than the 1st semifinal, Gunawan/Riyadi really need to step out of their teammates shadow. Saputra/Wijaya will enjoy the same advantage as Kendrick, and with quite a few prized scalps (mostly Malaysian), they have the ability to make it an international final.

WOMEN'S SINGLES
Adriyanti Firdasari vs Soratja Chansrisukot -- I will give this to Firda just because Krisna needs to see her smile :D, but wouldn't be surprised if Soratja decides to exact revenge on her team semis defeat. Still quite a tall order for the Thai, her technical skills are not as good yet.

Julia Wong Pei Xian [4] vs Maria Kristin Yulianti [2]-- This one I can't predict. Julia had been unbeaten all week, Maria had shown some vulnerabilities against Li Li. But with a 2-1 head-to-head record, the slightest of advantages is for the Indonesian. Too close to call.

WOMEN'S DOUBLES
Jiang Yanmei/Li Yujia [1] vs Vita Marissa/Liliyana Natsir [4] -- In my opinion, the gulf in class between these two pairs are quite far.

Duang-Anong Arunkesorn/Kunchala Voravitchitchaikul [3] vs Jo Novita/Greysia Polii -- All INA final not in doubt, unless Jo or Greysia get injured again.

MIXED DOUBLES
Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir [1]vs Sudket Prapakamol/Saralee Thoungthongkam [3] (MATCH OF THE DAY) -- the MOTD tomorrow as badMania said...and this time I pick the Thais in 3 close games, the difference being the crowd support. The World Champions will really be worth their salt if they can prove me wrong in a "relatively hostile" environment.

Hendri Kurniawan Saputra/Li Yujia [4] vs Flandy Limpele/Vita Marissa [2] -- a more straightforward victory for Indonesia, I pick Flandy/Vita for the title.

Come on Sudket/Saralee...Hope you be in the final..Keep fighting...Sudket..

good good jobs.... at least another 9 bronze medals for sure.

Is there any online channels I can download to watch these matches

Come on Sudket/Saralee...Hope you be in the final..Keep fighting...Sudket..
Yeah.. Hopes so too.
It will be very tough game for Sudket as they havent been put into any challenge before the semis.. A test of mental strength for them as they will be The ONLY last hopes of Thailand to win a sole Gold medal in Badminton here.. I do not think Soratja / Boonsak will be able to upset the INA :cool:

come on julia and gan/lin!!!

come on julia and gan/lin!!!
Dear leonardklh,

I also hope that Julia and our doubles pairs will make us proud and proceed to final at least.

From:
Ayu

hoping to see unseeded players win
go..kendrick Lee,Julia wong,joko/hendra,kunchala/partner,sudket/saralee

As I am Vietnamese, when I was young, Nguyen Tien Minh seemed to be my favourite advanced badminton player and nowaday, so does he... in the latest match between them,Minh has won against Taufik but it is only statistic which is always used to appreciate.... and no more....
Will it have the same result like the latest time they met... nobody knows.......I has watched Minh's match against Thailand player... It was the intensive and not easy for him to win..... but his goal was to beat his opponent and bring glories not only for his nation but also for all Vietnamese audiences will be waiting for his steps in his career.....
go go Nguyen Tien Minh..... You are Vietnam's pride.......

Yes I like Firda's smile and I think against Soratja, she has a terrific chance! :cool: I am 90% sure we will see a Firda-Maria Kristin final... :D

Although the official target of our Indonesian Sea Games officials is: 4 golds from badminton... [and we have 2 already]... I think realistically we can expect 5 golds with a good chance to get 6 golds, and Indonesians will be extremely jubilant if we can sweep 7 golds! :p Perhaps plus around 3-4 silvers too... =)

good good jobs.... at least another 9 bronze medals for sure.

The Indonesian public cannot stand 9 bronzes from badminton... That's a national disaster! :p We are pretty demanding... either gold or not... :o Sort of like Brazil in soccer... Most countries [including Indonesia and the Philippines] would be happy to finish as semifinalists of the Soccer World Cup, but not Brazil... they will be considered dire loosers if they don't win the World Cup... :p:o

This could be their last tournament this year because there won't be a SS Finals this year, I heard... BWF screwed up... :o

hendra s. is a bit sick, but i think there should be no problem for kindra to beat james/robert..

sorry krisna.. here i'm rooting for julia!!! you go girl!

hope also sudket/sarelee will be able to get through even though it's tough, at least one thai pair for the thai fans to support in the final!!!

i wish all the malaysian players all the best!!

hope also sudket/sarelee will be able to get through even though it's tough, at least one thai pair for the thai fans to support in the final!!!

Is it true that Saralee injured her back last week? :confused:

The reason why Taufik almost lost to YKB is this, from Suara Merdeka newspaper (sorry, don't have time to translate). I bet this story will repeat in the Semi and Final, as far as he proceeds (it has happened when he played Boonsak in the team event).. so, wait for the drama. He might even go so far to leave the court in the middle of the match, even if that means he would have to say goodbye to his SG bonus money + possible sanctions, like the HK Open 06 incident. Considering this, 6 golds for INA is a safer bet.

Protes, Taufik ke Semifinal


NAKHON RATCHASIMA- Taufik Hidayat tidak hanya menghadapi faktor teknis melawan para pesaingnya di lapangan. Juara Olimpiade 2004 itu juga harus berjuang keras menghadapi faktor nonteknis. Misalnya sering dirugikan wasit. Namun dia berusaha menahan diri. Ini adalah demi medali emas dan keinginan kuat untuk mengibarkan Merah Putih di Gymnasium Vongchavalitkul, Nakhon Ratchasima.
Menantu Agum Gumelar ini sempat membanting raket saat menghadapi Boonsak Ponsana (Thailand) pada pertandingan semifinal beregu, akhir pekan lalu. Kemarin, meski tak menghadapi pebulu tangkis tuan rumah, Taufik juga dikerjai wasit.
Lawan yang dihadapi adalah Yeoh Kay Bin (Malaysia). Dua pengadil lapangan semuanya berasal dari Thailand. Wasit pertama adalah Tiparyond Pongthorn dan second judge Teekalakul Chaiporn.
Tindakan tak fair wasit terjadi pada set ketiga ketika Taufik unggul 7-4 atas Yeoh. Wasit Tiparyond menganulir keputusan hakim garis yang menyatakan shuttlecock pengembalian pebulu tangkis Negeri Jiran itu keluar.
Keputusan wasit tuan rumah tersebut mengundang protes Taufik dan asisten pelatih Paulus Firman. Pertandingan pun terhenti selama sepuluh menit. Kemudian pertandingan dilanjutkan. Tapi, baru berjalan sekitar 5 menit dan kedudukan 11-9 untuk kemenangan Taufik, insiden baru terjadi lagi. Kali ini, penjaga garis menyebut smes Yeoh di sisi kiri Taufik masuk. Padahal, terlihat jelas shuttlecock berada di luar garis. Kembali Taufik dan Paulus protes dan pertandingan terhenti.
Salah Duduk
Setelah melakukan negosiasi, Taufik yang pernah tak mau melanjutkan pertandingan bermain lagi. Meski, sempat tertinggal 12-13, pertandingan pun berakhir 23-21 untuk Taufik. Pada set pertama pebulutangkis terbaik Merah Putih itu sempat kalah 13-21. Beruntung pada set selanjutnya dia dapat merebutnya dengan 21-3.
Kejadian yang tak mengenakkan yang dialami Taufik terus berlanjut di pinggir lapangan. Maksud hati beristirahat, tapi karena duduk salah tempat di kursi penjaga garis, dia pun diusir oleh pihak keamanan venue. Saat itu, Taufik sempat emosi dan bersitegang dengan polisi dan beberapa ofisial pertandingan.
Setelah ditenangkan oleh Paulus, Taufik langsung keluar ruangan. "Mengapa saya tak boleh duduk di sini. Saya capek. Padahal, sebelumnya banyak pemain Thailand dan lainnya yang duduk di situ setelah pertandingan tak mendapat teguran," ujarnya dengan nada tinggi.
Paulus menyebut ini adalah bagian dari usaha tuan rumah untuk meraih emas nomor tunggal. "Di tunggal ada Boonsak yang diharapkan meraih emas. Mereka berusaha memuluskan Boonsak," paparnya.
Pada babak empat besar, dia akan menghadapi Nguyen Tien Minh yang sebelumnya mengalahkan Poompat Sapkulchananart, 18-21, 21-13, 21-18. Bersama Taufik, semua pebulu tangkis Merah Putih yang tampil di perempat final melaju ke semifinal. (*-40)

hendra s. is a bit sick, but i think there should be no problem for kindra to beat james/robert..


Ah....hopefully this will not affect his game in the next 2 days...crucial times. Hmm...James Gan/Robert Lin? Hehe...what a nice name...:D

Ah, really I wish for the bad judging to stop ..... now it has infiltrated even the SEA Games. :mad: When will it stop? After Beijing Olympic Games? If the hosts really want it bad enough, all they need is to refuse entry of the top foreign participants at the airport. Why bring the game into disrepute?

No wonder the Taufik vs YKB match was so long, there were several disruptions ......

NVM, Taufik, I support u 1000%.

What time is the game starting today?

i don't understand why the judges would favour YKB over TH.
unless, of course, it's a ploy to get him unsettled and hence play worse if he does meet BP in the final.

What time is the game starting today?

http://www.2007seagames.com/info/

2 pm Thai/Indonesia time

It's pretty obvious isnt'it? It's much easier for BP to beat Nguyen than TH.

If we look further, Thailand may well be the best among the ASEAN countries in SG and AG, but when it comes to OG, as far as I know, INA is the only one among the SE nations that can produce gold in OG, and that comes traditionally from Badminton, from the time of Susi Susanti up to TH. So, if you never get OG gold, the thirst at least can be lessen by beating OG champion.

but not forgetting kendrick had improved and might win over boonsak today. so will there be any biasness for today's match.. lol..

ha..ha....... go all ina players... do a clean sweep of all gold medals.... :D :D :p

but not forgetting kendrick had improved and might win over boonsak today. so will there be any biasness for today's match.. lol..

Either way, Kendrick will have to be wise enough not to play the tight corners too much, so that there is less chance for a bad call to cloud the match.

I like Boonsak, he too doesn't need any of this mess ...... he can win on his own strength, and so can Kendrick.

May the best player win, in a clean match, that is.

It happened already in team final between TH vs Boonsak....It has been reported by bulutangkis.com ( if I am not wrong)......

Off-topic : In Athens 2004, Thailand contingent grabbed 3 GOLDS through :
- Boxing : 60-64 kg Men
- Weightlifting : 53 kg Women
- Weightlifting : 75 kg Women
(source : Olympic Games database)

Meanwhile INA as we know just won 1 GOLD from badminton MS. Thailand is still the 'best' among South-East Asia country at Olympic arena.

I guess at least INA badminton squad can fulfill 5 golds target here. Waiting for TH vs Boonsak Ponsana part two in this SEAG after Thai hope frustrated the Olympic Champion in Men's Team semifinal four days ago which coloured by bad line-calls and protest.

Question is, how do you make this stop?

Today, there are 4 matches at risk:-

Nova/Lilyana vs Sudket/Saralee
Firda vs Soratja
Kendrick vs Boonsak
Jo/Greysia vs Aroonkesorn/Voravichitcha

Could be more than 4 if other matches are rigged so that THA player (if he/she wins semis) can meet a "lesser" opponent in final.

As long as their shuttles do not land close to lines......

.

My bad, I guess that's the only time THA is above INA in Olympic Arena since 1988. Well eitherway, there is a sense of rivality between the two in the Olympic level (INA's weightlifters have also been competitive in the world championship in recent years), that might explain the 'special treatment' for TH.

Somluck Khamsing got first gold medal in Boxing in Olympic games for Thai :)....

It might happen to them too, but only TH makes enough noise that's worthy of a world news...

is the game playing already? any result?

Can't wait for the semis! May someone give me a link of live score/schedule of this sf? Coz tvri will start to show bdmtn at 4 pm.
Hope the best for ina!
I think it's enough to talk about "unfair of thailand". I think it's normal if one or two close call. It's not so obvious than in CO 07. I do believe taufik can handle his emotion. Anyway, i still support taufik whatever his decition <to let & not to let the match>. Let's hope for the fair game!
Tx

come on malaysians!!! julia and gan/lin!!!

ha..ha....... go all ina players... do a clean sweep of all gold medals.... :D :D :p

Hey friend, leave one or two behind for us. Then you can go all out for the Olympic golds! :D

Hey friend, leave one or two behind for us. Then you can go all out for the Olympic golds! :D

hmmmmm OK.. you may get one or two golds but MS' gold :D :D

Hey friend, leave one or two behind for us. Then you can go all out for the Olympic golds! :D

No, no, no, no, no. Let 'em have all the golds here, and help clear the path at the Olympics, for MAS and SIN shuttlers to win gold ...... :D:D:D

Ok, ok, the semis have started with XD. Anybody who is there or has access to live feed, please update the results .....

No, no, no, no, no. Let 'em have all the golds here, and help clear the path at the Olympics, for MAS and SIN shuttlers to win gold ...... :D:D:D

Nova won 1st set,now 2nd and 22-22,so intens.Ina missed 2 match points.

This is 2nd time they have beaten Nova/Butet....first time was denmark Open....hope Flandy/vita can beat them......

Yup,it was sudket which played an amazing bdmtn. Tha won 21-16.
Oh, then it might be only 5 golds for Ina now...

So it looks that tomorrow's XD final is still an international competition:-

Sudket/Saralee vs Flandy/Vita

And I agree, Sudket is always amazing, so flamboyant and "bouncy" ...... still, I would expect Nova/Lilyana to have done better.

Oh yes...Sudket/Saralee win..Hope they will try their best tomorrow...Hope they can win the gold medal..

Oh, then it might be only 5 golds for Ina now...
Not yet......INA still have a chance to win....

Oh yes...Sudket/Saralee win..Hope they will try their best tomorrow...Hope they can win the gold medal..

yup, all the best to Sudket/Saralee, I do hope they will win. Sudket is such an amazing and entertaining player.:cool: I like him a lot. Go go Sudket/Saralee. :)

In 3rd set, nova/lily seemem hopeless <i know from their face>. Many times salah langkah, service out <it also caused they missed 1st/2nd mp>, and they let sudket to smash. I didn't see any badcall,dunno in 1st,i didn't watch it.

Now lativi is showing julia against maria. 2-2.

You know, Nova/Lily are a great pair, tactical and skills wise, but they have a problem in closing out matches when the going is close. Ask Hauge, the last time they did that in HK, he couldn't stand it, ran away and got teased by Zhang Ning ........:D

Seriously, this pair has potential, but I fear that with that problem, they will stumble next year. This is more psychological than anything else.

Firda 10-6, maria 7-7

Its a close match.
Julia leads 9-8

Firda 11-7, Maria 9-10

Looks like TV court is court 2, please keep updating the score Febi and Ningtyas because the website doesn't provide live-scoring facility...

Come on Julia..You can do it...

WIDIANTO/LILIYANA WIDIANTO/LILIYANA lost.. sign~ :crying:

hopefully indo can get a gold in MIxed double

:D:D I remembered that well....I was so traumatized that GL/ZB could come back to even 20-20....Phew!!..after that...INA coaches (3 of them left at that time) could not wait to eat something....it was very intense....I think Nova/Butet will be back next year.....we will have Greysia/Rizal as well at MAS open....

Oh...new member..Welcome here,luckyfish...Yup..I am glad you also like Sudket..He is simply amazing..:pHope you will post more and have fun here..:rolleyes::)
Thx. So you like him too. I surely will try post more and have fun.:D:D
Now let's hope Julia can beat Maria, I believe that she can do it.:p

Julia 11-10, Most of Julia points from Maria unforced errors

Firda 17-12, Maria 13-11

Come on Firda and Maria........

Maria attacks Julia 14-12

Thx. So you like him too. I surely will try post more and have fun.:D:D
Now let's hope Julia can beat Maria, I believe that she can do it.:p
Ya...I like him since Singapore Super Series in May..I feel he is a very good player..If Saralee can improve more,they will surely become a very best pair..Yup,lets hope Julia try her best.:p

Julia attacks Maria, and Maria makes some mistakes 15-14 for Julia

Curi-curi pandang to another side that firda's playing, it looks that firda won 1st set.
Julia lead 15-14,now commercial break <what?>

wow...tight games between Maria and Julia

Oh No... Lativi is very very bad... In the critical points, it shows advertisings... C'mon....!!!

Maria leading 20-15

Oh No... Lativi is very very bad... In the critical points, it shows advertisings... C'mon....!!!
:D:D....thats crazy but funny.....haiya..Lativi!!

Ya...I like him since Singapore Super Series in May..I feel he is a very good player..If Saralee can improve more,they will surely become a very best pair..Yup,lets hope Julia try her best.:p
Yes, I do agree with you. I love to see him smile and I think Saralee is doing better and better. What is the score now? Come on, julia.

what a rally.. and Maria win it 21-15

Maria leading 20-15
wow...good..good...come on..Maria....if you win, I will sing Santana's Maria for you......:D:D

what a rally.. and Maria win it 21-15
wow..so Maria got 7 straight points???Pls tell us how?

Julia lost the 1st set. Hope she'll play a better 2nd set. Go Julia.

Pls update Firda's score..........

wow..so Maria got 7 straight points???Pls tell us how?
Don't know how... They didn't show it. And now the live show is over.... what a lativi..... don't know why....:mad:

Sudket is very nice player....he speaks Mandarin well.....when they lost to GL/ZB 19-21 in HKO....they were so sad....sat outside for one hour....especially Saralee...still regretted " close call"..

Don't know how... They didn't show it. And now the live show is over.... what a lativi..... don't know why....:mad:

Bonnsak speaks better......

Sudket is very nice player....he speaks Mandarin well.....when they lost to GL/ZB 19-21 in HKO....they were so sad....sat outside for one hour....especially Saralee...still regretted " close call"..
It's quite unbelievable that Sudket can speak mandarin well. Haha... I am Impressed by their stunning performance lately and I think Sudket/Saralee stand a good chance to win a medal at Beijing Olympic.

It's quite unbelievable that Sudket can speak mandarin well. Haha... I am Impressed by their stunning performance lately and I think Sudket/Saralee stand a good chance to win a medal at Beijing Olympic.
Yep..I think they are at least 6 pairs...Nova/Butet, GL/ZB,Sudket/sarale,Flandy/Vita,Zhang Ya wen/XZB, Gail/Nathan

Bonnsak speaks better......
Oh really? Can other Thai players speak Mandarin as well?

None were expected to go to the final anyway, but the effort from the women's team and women's singles players (Julia and Lydia) are commendable.

what is the score for taufik right now??? anyone can update???

Hi all, newbie here :)
RTM1 showing badminton and i can't watch
still in office and tonite already have appointment with friends.
will MD be playing tonite as well? I want to watch Kindra play...
So who is playing in RTM1?

To have medals here is already a consolation for us.. if got GOLD.. even better. But very unlikely.

None were expected to go to the final anyway, but the effort from the women's team and women's singles players (Julia and Lydia) are commendable.
Yup, they played well even w/o Mew Choo and Eei Hui. Much better than Men's teams.:cool:

A tale of missed opportunities for Julia, according to the match report, she had 4 game points at 20-16, plus a couple more at 21-20 and 22-21, but just couldn't convert.

Still a good effort though, but it shows that the opposition had great fighting qualities.

RTM1 no more badminton :crying:

rush home to watch but no more badminton

TVRI showing Maria vs Julia.

Julia got many many points from Maria's error. But she plays well

TVRI showing Maria vs Julia.

maybe delayed, Maria already won

Oo,actually julia got 4 game points in 2nd when 20-16 for julia.

maybe delayed, Maria already won

yeah delayed.....

Firda also won 21-15 21-19...

Yes of course it is delayed, its shortened as well. But it shows us how the game is won.
Actually Julia first lead 20-16, but Maria made it deuce!

The flagpole man does it again, Kendrick beats Boonsak in straight games, 21-15, 22-20!!!!!

yeah, RTM showed that part too, from 2nd game, 14-14. the commentator also commented on the part where julia didnt manage to finish off at match point.

Maybe tvri showing delay because now in tv court boonsak vs kendrick,so it no use for tvri.
So,after this tvri will show a match which involve ina's player.

But as is customary, Taufik is forced to go the distance against Tien-Minh, won 1st game 21-15, only to lose the 2nd 14-21.

WOW! dangerous for taufik

Kendrik Lui def Boonsak.....

The flagpole man does it again, Kendrick beats Boonsak in straight games, 21-15, 22-20!!!!!

And now I think badminton coaches have to consider using flagpoles for muscle building exercise. :D:D:D

But as is customary, Taufik is forced to go the distance against Tien-Minh, won 1st game 21-15, only to lose the 2nd 14-21.
Hope TH wins.....another rematch with Kendrik...wow..kendrik has beaten Sony and Boonsak.........

Wooow... Taufik vs Kendrick again in Final match....

But as is customary, Taufik is forced to go the distance against Tien-Minh, won 1st game 21-15, only to lose the 2nd 14-21.

taufik won rubber 21-14, so taufik vs kenderick finals



YEAH!!!!! tt's the way =)

Any info about taufik? Taufik played first than bonsaak.

I think most likely TH will win GOld.

Taufik should win tomorrow. He'll be a lot more careful, since it's the gold medal match, and he already lost to Kendrick in the team-event.

Taufik vs Flagpole Man, Part 2. :D Don't be surprised if the flagpole topples over him .......:)

YEAH!!!!! tt's the way =)

Singaporeans will be very happy, they have a strong MS now. Dont know why you all like to refer to Kenderick as flag bearer, Boonsak also flag bearer, no one mention much.
More like Army training in National Service good for Spore players.

Indo_gal, you can see the scores yourself at :
http://www.2007seagames.com/info/

If you're in Indonesia, just on your tv to watch TVRI

Says here that Boonsak had fallen behind 16-19 in 2nd game, but immediately picked up 4 pts for his only gamepoint. Fortunately Kendrick started "poking his flagpole" :D around and gained 3 points to close out the match.

A good awakening for Singapore men's badminton.

Maybe tvri showing delay because now in tv court boonsak vs kendrick,so it no use for tvri.
So,after this tvri will show a match which involve ina's player.

Yes, the TVRI presenter said that they could not show Taufik's match because "main court-nya mai court Thailand." :-)

Hm..TVRI is still showing boxing now.............

Taufik should win tomorrow. He'll be a lot more careful, since it's the gold medal match, and he already lost to Kendrick in the team-event.

Hm..TVRI is still showing boxing now.............

whict team event? this sea games?....hmm no...Kendrik lost to Taufik...INA team won 3-0
