[abedeng]

I am now sitting behind the players area.

The MAS squad, Hendrawan, Prof Park, Coaches Yap and Misbun are all here. Fuzzy pair struggle a bit after a great early performance.

Simon is surfing the web using a notebook and sending SMS messages, must be telling folks back home that he is in the final.

[robin7]

Phew, INA tomboys took the 1st game 22-20...

[limsy]

[abedeng]

Relentless attack bring MAS 3 pts clear, 15-12.

[eaglehelang]

Abedeng, later you give the full summary. All the tv stations & online stream not showing SO anymore. We rely on livescore.

[simonlovers]

:D....i tot U support simon only........:D:D
i always support simon..but sometimes i want to support the other player...
Go Vitaa...Lilyanaa.......

[robin7]

Fuzzy should wrap up the match in straight games as they lead 17-13 in the 2nd game... Hopefully...

[jasonmarc]

Phew, INA tomboys took the 1st game 22-20...

If INA 'tomboys' wins......tomorrow will be CHN TOMBOYS Vs INA TOMBOYS...

[Tjun Tjun]

Relentless attack bring MAS 3 pts clear, 15-12.

Thank you. Pls continue with the commentary........:):):)

[abedeng]

Fuzzy's ex-partners applaud another point, while discussing on how to beat Fuzzy.

Korean court coverage not matured yet, too many holes.

[robin7]

Fuzzy 20-14...

INA tomboys running out of steam in the 2nd game as they trail 4-11

[limsy]

hmm...md mas win in 2 set...wd will play rubber set...

[eaglehelang]

Aiyoo, Taiwan ladies leading 11-4 in 2nd set

Come on Fuzzy, be Fuzzy bears, finish it off

[Misty100]

hmmm... a match of ex-partners on the card for MD... so hilarious come to think of it... LOL

[jasonmarc]

MAS MD won........good

[robin7]

If INA 'tomboys' wins......tomorrow will be CHN TOMBOYS Vs INA TOMBOYS...
As what I predicted.. Hehe...

Okay. Fuzzy just won. All-MAS MD finals 2moro.

[simonlovers]

C'mon Vitaaa...Lilyanaaa...........
give the best in da last match today...

[eaglehelang]

Fuzzy pair keep to the record of court 1 of finishing in straight sets. They're on fire this tourney.

Tomm they will meet ex-partners, he he.

[abedeng]

The whole MAS squad prepare to leave after Fuzzy's win.

Simon shuts his notebook down, and no, I am not using notebook.

[robin7]

INA tomboys r gonna lose the match...

[eaglehelang]

The whole MAS squad prepare to leave after Fuzzy's win.

Simon shuts his notebook down, and no, I am not using notebook.

He he, they want go early dinner, whole afternoon didnt eat, tension, LOL

Btw, after WD finish, can give run down of how the match between Gan/Lin & Wee Kiong/Razif went? Experience prevail over youth, when without coach to guide?

[baihaki_as]

they'll win, lili has a motivation to win this game...

[abedeng]

INA TPE match will have to go the distance. I expected as much. TPE has better fitness, INA has better tactics.

[abedeng]

Excellent dropshot by LN, 3-3

[simonlovers]

Lily..Vitaaa...
we love u

[robin7]

C'mon, tomboys, save my PAW....

[samuel882]

OH.. BUTET please save my day..... :crying: :crying:

[abedeng]

CYC good placement at the net, Vita staggers forward.

INA respond, 7-7

[robin7]

Still neck to neck...

[robin7]

That's fast between pts...

Now 10-all...

TPE 11-10...

[abedeng]

Accuracy is a problem now. Short serves, wide smashes, errors at transition from both sides.

TPE lead narrowly at the midgame interchange.

[simonlovers]

In-do-ne-sia...

[limsy]

wow...a neck to neck play...

[abedeng]

Cheng net kill error.

Vita floored by excellent dropshot.

14-12 TPE

[robin7]

Vita/Butet, go go...

Oh no, TPE 16-12...

[limsy]

ina pair no more fuel...

[abedeng]

INA losing steam, as expected.

17-12.

[robin7]

I N - D O - N E - S I A

[samuel882]

Fitness > skills for today

[limsy]

Fitness > skills for today

[abedeng]

TPE 2 pts away after Vita mistake.

[eaglehelang]

Liliyana tired after having to play XD

[abedeng]

Game over, the fitter team won.

[robin7]

Bye2 tomboys...

[limsy]

[volcom]

Simon will punish LCW in the final tomorrow, mark my words

[volcom]

PG was too worn out by yesterdays match otherwise he wouldve had a much better chance of winning

[huangkwokhau]

Vita has thigh problem since yesterday...still good to lose in 3 sets...

[limsy]

Simon will punish LCW in the final tomorrow, mark my words

yes...i mark ur word...:D...hmm...lcw will win...mark my word...:p


PG was too worn out by yesterdays match otherwise he wouldve had a much better chance of winning

if gade is in another semis final...he still will facing problem to win over ss...:(...but if against as...sure win...:p

[ye333]

Let's see what Simon can do tomorrow. I think he can definitely do better than PG.

[waile]

SS can go sleep la...

[hcyong]

Vita has thigh problem since yesterday...still good to lose in 3 sets...

Yes, it was obvious Vita had a problem. Lilyana was trying to cover her and going for broke, trying for risky winners. It was quite obvious to me who was going to win. The Taiwanese pair were making tonnes of unforced errors (sometimes it's hard to play against injured players), so it was longer than it should be.

[hcyong]

Peter Gade was in his elements much of the first game, but after that either LCW stepped up or Peter stepped down, I don't know which. Both played well, it was the best match of the day for me.

Tine looked big, strong and sharp against WMC. On the basis of today's form, I think Tine is the hot favourite for the Olympics gold (except that it's in China this time, so make that semi-hot). Her cross-court smash to WMC's backhand was especially devastating. In the second game, WMC stepped up her pace and things got better. With her physique and style of play, her only way against Tine is to intercept like mad. She could beat Tine but she need to run a marathon.

The Korean MD pair was quite impressive defensively, but rather raw overall. The hi-five fuzzies targetted their attack on the less experienced Cho Gun Woo. Give them some time, and they will be hard to beat. (Cho was the WJ Champion partnering Lee YD.)

First time I see Saina Nehwal play today, although unfortunately, it's the same time as LCW-Gade. She retrieves very well, but Zhou Mi was fitter.

[george@chongwei]
