[Seasider]

[Noridayu]

If Fuzzy/Zakri grab back-to-back title tomorrow.....surely Rexy will look high on them as a successor for LWW/CTF which are going to retire soon.

I agreed with you. They have matured and improve in their games.

[jasonmarc]

ZN ......not able to keep up the pace with kristin.......

http://i26.tinypic.com/vfh35d.gif Interesting finals tomorrow :).

[abedeng]

Zhu Lin seems unconcerned about her final opponent. She had more serious matter on her hands.

Eating fruits .....

[apontoh]

GO MARIA!!!!!!! :cool: hopefully she can win her first SS title tomorrow...and join the "China-beater" club that includes Tine, WMC and JJY.

[Erwin Kyoto]

Men's Singles
Sony Dwi Kuncoro [4] vs Bao Chunlai [2]
This INA SS is a good chance for Sony to win his first SS title ...so he must beat Bao Chunlai to meet Simon in Final..

Women's Singles
Maria Kristin Yulianti vs Zhang Ning [2]
I know it`s not easy for Maria to beat Zhang Ning but I just hope she can prove your prediction is wrong again...:D

Women's Doubles
Wei Yili/Zhang Yawen [1] vs Vita Marissa/Liliyana Natsir [4]
Another upset will come true in this WD match...:D

two of my prediction came true...:D:p

[eaglehelang]

WOW, Maria actually did it. Makes Upset no 16.

GD Sports commentator said Zhang Ning was too careful towards the end, afraid of making mistakes.

[Seasider]

ouch......Maria lost the 2nd set :( I hope she can win the decider...
I believe she still has a chance...

Great job Maria. You're my hero!!! That's what I'm talking about.... :) :) :)

[Armor_tec_14]

Awww .. Quite Annoyed AT The Result But Well Done To Both Players

[sjoe]

http://i26.tinypic.com/vfh35d.gif Interesting finals tomorrow :).

At least there will be LS Final otherwise another W/O.

[robin7]

Congratulations to those who PAW on Maria, 15 pts in the pocket...

MT402: [X]MariaKristin v [ ]Ning.Zhang..( 15 - 7 .)

[nick.h]

oh i so have the hots for maria right now!!

[Tjun Tjun]

I think Maria has used up every ounce of her energy for this fabulous win.......I hope she recovers sufficiently for tomorrow's match against Zhu Lin.............. I'll be rooting for you......

[robin7]

WOW, Maria actually did it. Makes Upset no 16.

GD Sports commentator said Zhang Ning was too careful towards the end, afraid of making mistakes.
ZN wasted 2 match pts. I'm sad for ZN but also happy for Maria...

[Seasider]

At least there will be LS Final otherwise another W/O.

I'm getting tired of so many WO from CHN Team..., so I'm glad Maria won! I hope Guang Dong will still show all Final matches tomorrow even if CHN only have one reps on Finals. (Assumed Vita/Lilyana won the match in SF :D)

[lexluthor1975]

nobody's interested in santoso-tago match :)

[abedeng]

Anyway, with ZN's loss, we speculate that she will not be selected to defend her Olympic title.

Zhu Lin should join Lu Lan and Xie Xingfang in Beijing. Though she herself was far from impressive.

[lexluthor1975]

I think Maria has used up every ounce of her energy for this fabulous win.......I hope she recovers sufficiently for tomorrow's match against Zhu Lin.............. I'll be rooting for you......
zhu lin is quite rested after wang chen retired. though she had a 3-setter with Pi Hongyan. i hope Maria wins!

[Erwin Kyoto]

the first MS Final SS from same country (non-china players) will be come true....
cmonnnnnnnn Simonnnnnnnnn 20 - 14

[robin7]

Can the tomboys make up their disappointment in XD earlier?

[nicolas33]

yes... simon win!!!

[abedeng]

Simon is making Hau-ge and fastdrop restless ...

Tago close in 18-20

[Shiro]

nobody's interested in santoso-tago match :)
I am! I want Tago to win....!

[robin7]

Simon couldn't finish the match...

[Tjun Tjun]

zhu lin is quite rested after wang chen retired. though she had a 3-setter with Pi Hongyan. i hope Maria wins!

Zhu Lin is beatable.......anyway Maria is already a winner regardless of tomorrow's outcome......let's enjoy tomorrow's finals then........:):):)

[robin7]

Simon finally won... All INA-MS finals 2moro...

[Seasider]

Simon just won the game. Congrats to both Simon and Sony :)

[abedeng]

Simon had a very lucky rally.

First he fell down, then Tago puts an easy placement wide.

INA is guaranteed MS title.

[Erwin Kyoto]

another upset pleaseeeeeee..
cmon vita/butet

[chemile]

Oooouhhhh I am so happy today, eventough Indonesian Mix Doubles failed to final, but we still can our heroes fight tomorrow. Congrat to Candra/Tony (half Indonesia), Sony DK and Simon who make All Indonesian Final and ensure the MS first Super Series for Indonesia if I don't mistake, and of course great great applause for MARIA KRISTIN. You make us proud, no matter what people said that you only beat injured player or old players, but you did well so far. I hope Maria can grab first title for her tomorrow. Indonesian people, come on, we give full support to Maria Kristin tomorrow! :) :)

[apontoh]

Anyway, with ZN's loss, we speculate that she will not be selected to defend her Olympic title.

Zhu Lin should join Lu Lan and Xie Xingfang in Beijing. Though she herself was far from impressive.

ANd I will also say that if Simon Santoso wins tomorrow, Taufik's olympic spot is at serious risk. Sutiyoso (PBSI chief) said yesterday that the composition of the men's singles team for the olympics could still change.

[george@chongwei]

zhu lin will win her game 2moro:)
hehe

[lexluthor1975]

live score got stucked again...

[taufik-ist]

4 thumbs for maria, congrat maria en djarum

[Tjun Tjun]

live score got stucked again...

Livescore is ok....12-12 ................

[taufik-ist]

zhu lin will win her game 2moro:)
hehe
maria will win with stright set

[Tjun Tjun]

4 thumbs for maria, congrat maria en djarum

Only 4 thumbs up from you, I'll give her high 5! :D:D:D

[Erwin Kyoto]

ANd I will also say that if Simon Santoso wins tomorrow, Taufik's olympic spot is at serious risk. Sutiyoso (PBSI chief) said yesterday that the composition of the men's singles team for the olympics could still change.

no Taufik in Olympic:eek:...
but if simon performance improved and take his first SS title tommorow..that is good reason the INA composition for olympic can be changed...yep I agree simon represent MS INA for Beijing Olympic...:cool::p

[chemile]

ANd I will also say that if Simon Santoso wins tomorrow, Taufik's olympic spot is at serious risk. Sutiyoso (PBSI chief) said yesterday that the composition of the men's singles team for the olympics could still change.

I don't think that Taufik will be replaced by Simon. Taufik still better than Simon from the skill and mental. At least, this will be end of journey of Indonesia superstar, Taufik Hidayat....

[Tjun Tjun]

Butettttttttttttttttttttt.....19-13...................

[chemile]

Yesss! Duo tomboy won the first set... Come on, make it to the final tomorrow!

[george@chongwei]

ina fans are very very wild 2day.

[taufik-ist]

Butettttttttttttttttttttt.....19-13...................

cmooooooooon finish it

[george@chongwei]

do u guys realise something??
after the match between ZN and Maria, ZN eventually walk off the court after shaking hands with maria..she didnt even shake hands with the umpire..
good job!!:D:D:p

[george@chongwei]

cmooooooooon finish it
u crazy ar????:p:p why ur livescore so slow?
butet already win the 1st set 21-15 la..
and now currently 4-4 in the 2nd set.

[KlasseE]

Yesss! Duo tomboy won the first set... Come on, make it to the final tomorrow!
hi, this is the sms centre, confirm both the tomboy did receive your message, mission is in progress...:D:D:D

[limsy]

hmm...i am late...after tuition...but manage to watch mas md match...they can easily beat ina up with defensive play...dont know why they so rush...rexy is right...mas md is arrogant(not all)but at least osh is...hmm...hmm...if zakry/fairuz is offensive and no mistake...mas will win...if defensive and 3 set match...mas still will win...i believe tony/candra today is not the one that win over WC(yesterday)...no impresive...

[ye333]

Simon did very well recently. But he hasn't met any of the big guys. From this perspective it is unfortunate for Simon that BCL lost to Sony. Otherwise, if Simon beats BCL in the final, PBSI may re-condiser.


I don't think that Taufik will be replaced by Simon. Taufik still better than Simon from the skill and mental. At least, this will be end of journey of Indonesia superstar, Taufik Hidayat....

[george@chongwei]

[abedeng]

INA gain initial control of 3rd game, LN smash 7-4

[abedeng]

Again, good placement confuses the CHN girls, 9-4

[Louisa]

WoW, Vita Lily play very well...comon....

[Loh]

Congrats to Maria and INA for producing more WS in time to challenge CHN at the Beijing Olympics and not let CHN think she could walk away with all the medals easily. Although I'm not sure whether INA has more than one WS to qualify for the BO.

It must have been a very long time since an INA WS has beaten such a high ranking CHN player! Keep it up INA! :)

[abedeng]

I told fastdrop, if CHN lose this one, they will be in crisis.

CHN try to avert crisis, 6-9.

[buranko]

Hi guys! Nice to meet you..HwaAaA, why TRANS 7 do that !? ,they prefer broadcasting motoGp to Indo Open <_< ..Very annoying I cant see the match

[abedeng]

Vita clear runs wide, CHN close in.

Vita makes amends, INA go to break 2 pts up.

[eaglehelang]

[abedeng]

Excellent sideline winner from Vita.

[abedeng]

ZYW push is out by a mile.

[Seasider]

Come on Vita/Butet, you can win this match!!! Finish the game. I'm so tired and sleepy, I have been up since 2 am (California time).

[abedeng]

CHN forced to make errors, 14-10.

Vita defensive clear passes ZYW, WYL out of position, 15-10

[abedeng]

Two error bring CHN close before LN makes a good placement to baseline, 16-12

Camareman asked to move away.

[eaglehelang]

GD Sports commentators getting quieter, Bao Bao lost, then Zhang Ning lost, then... now... can 'hear' their sadness

[Erwin Kyoto]

Come on Vita/Butet, you can win this match!!! Finish the game. I'm so tired and sleepy, I have been up since 2 am (California time).

[Erwin Kyoto]

Men's Singles
Sony Dwi Kuncoro [4] vs Bao Chunlai [2]
This INA SS is a good chance for Sony to win his first SS title ...so he must beat Bao Chunlai to meet Simon in Final..

Women's Singles
Maria Kristin Yulianti vs Zhang Ning [2]
I know it`s not easy for Maria to beat Zhang Ning but I just hope she can prove your prediction is wrong again...:D

Women's Doubles
Wei Yili/Zhang Yawen [1] vs Vita Marissa/Liliyana Natsir [4]
Another upset will come true in this WD match...:D

oh No:eek:...3 of my prediction for INA players came true...:D

[Krisna]

OMG!!! INA tomboys win! Tomboys win!

[Louisa]

hahaha....hoping Vita-Lily take the champion tmr...

[badMania]

Yes!!! Vita Marissa/Liliyana Natsir have beaten the first-seed Wei Yili/Zhang Yawen 21-15, 14-21, 21-18.

I think match of the round undoubtedly went to the match between Maria Kristin Yulianti and Zhang Ning. I was home just in time to watch the dying stage of the third set. Zhang Ning was on 2 match pts before Maria won 4 pts in a row and clinch the rubber-set 22-20. What a performance by her in reaching her first SS Final!! Anything can happen now against Zhu Lin tomorrow.

[eaglehelang]

WOW, they did it. Congrats Liliyana/Marissa for making another upset! INA gals are really fired up after Uber

[nicolas33]

yessssssssssssss... finally!!!

[Seasider]

Woohoo. . . Go INA Go! Thanks 4 the update!

[badadum]

Have to admit I'm pleasantly surprised. INA managed to place its representative in all fields except the one that I thought they would have it in the bag (XD).
Best of luck tomorrow :)

[Jagdpanther]

You're a truly psychic !!! LOL
Please use your magical power and predict all Indonesians will win the games tomorrow.
:):):)
I've got a 'wangsit' that INA win win MS 2morrow!:D

[Loh]

WOW, they did it. Congrats Liliyana/Marissa for making another upset! INA gals are really fired up after Uber

And Djarum seemed to have brought them luck! :)

[simonlovers]

two of my prediction came true...:D:p
now three of your prediction...;)

[limsy]

...kak helang...how many upset liao???

[Erwin Kyoto]

Yes!!! Vita Marissa/Liliyana Natsir have beaten the first-seed Wei Yili/Zhang Yawen 21-15, 14-21, 21-18.

I think match of the round undoubtedly went to the match between Maria Kristin Yulianti and Zhang Ning. I was home just in time to reach the third set. Zhang Ning was on 2 match pts before Maria won 4 pts in a row and clinch the rubber-set 22-20. What a performance by her in reaching her first SS Final!! Anything can happen now against Zhu Lin tomorrow.

I am waiting for your prediction of INA players for final 2mmorow...:D:D:D

[Krisna]

oh No:eek:...3 of my prediction for INA players came true...:D

You are now officially have more prophetic powers compared to badMania!

[buranko]

ZOMG!! Congrats to them! XD I'm happy for that! ,eventhough i can't see the match..Arrgh, I'm lazy to see that through the streaming online..The connection too slow
<_<

[Erwin Kyoto]

now three of your prediction...;)

I think four...also Sony vs Simon in Final:D

[Seasider]

After only 3 hours of sleep, starring in front of computer for 6 hours and having my wife yelled at me for making too much noise since 2am ....; IT"S ALL SOOO WORTH IT. Bravo Indonesia!!! Can't wait to watch the Finals :) :) :)

By contrasting fashion to Spore SS, Indonesia SS had more upsets in later rounds, at the moment still totals 17, same as Spore SS :

A total of 4 upsets from today's Semis :
Upset no 14 : XD, Denmark’s Thomas Laybourn/Kamilla Rytter beat Indonesia’s Nova W/Liliyana N (1st seed)
Upset no 15 : MS, Indonesia’s Sony K (4th seed) beat China’s Bao CL (2nd seed)
Upset no 16 : WS, Indonesia’s Maria Kristin beat China’s Zhang Ning (2nd seed)
Upset no 17 : WD, Indonesia’s Liliyana/Marissa (4th seed) beat China’s Zhang Yawen/Wei Yili (1st seed)

Note that 3 are Indonesia winning against China OG bound players. No sure is Maria is going for OG.

Expecting more upsets tomm, he he.

yep I predict MS title goes to INA...hahaha:D

[badMania]

Best of luck tomorrow :)

Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir blew 2 game pts in BOTH sets at 20-18 and 20-19 respectively. Otherwise, it will be another clssic Final against Zheng Bo/Gao Ling.

The rest of the results are pretty much expected, with more surprises coming in due to Maria Kristin Yulianti, Sony Dwi Kuncoro and Vita Marissa/Liliyana Natsir's commendable performance against the Chinese armada.

At least 1 title is in the bag and I think Vita/Butet will surely add another title to their collection. As for Tony/Candra, its 50-50 given Fuzzy's unbelievable form in the past 2 weeks. For Maria, I still think Zhu Lin will beat her, unless of course there's another miracle tomorrow.

He he, Erwin now a prophet, kah kah


And Djarum seemed to have brought them luck! :)

And our Abedeng initutively flew there to witness it happen live. Worth all his $$$, I'm sure.
Liliyana/Marissa showed great fighting spirit, not dampened by their XD losses, they fought even harder in WD

[Erwin Kyoto]

I think the first time more number of INA gals than guys represent INA in final of SS

Maybe they will make upset no 19 & 20, and I hope of course our Fuzzy will make upset no 18 :D;). Happy day at Semis for Indonesia team, who fought back harder aft the expected XD crumbled.

The biggest collector of upsets have to be Maria Kristin, right? :p And yes Maria is going to the Olympics. So, ...Maria, Tine, WMC, are the notable China-beaters in the horizon...

I was eating bakso and watching the match at the same time. I thought it was all gone at 18-20...only to see Maria so calmly recovered the deficit and eventually sealed the match. I screamed in delight....hehe.......

Good thing the Final will start at 2pm local time tomorrow, which means I will probably have time to watch the first three Finals, before going for a function at 6pm. The organizers definitely have planned the scheduling which fits my needs :D
