Sudirman Cup 2009 Semi Final : May 16th

[pendigood]

fiuh.... finally SDK won the second game

[abedeng]

We go to rubber and time to eat my packed lunch.

[belagabego]

SDK win the second game.

[madbad]

How can drift be an issue when most pts are outright winners. There is a slight drift, but not the one like in India.

Most of what Sony did is to push Park back and then the kill at frontcourt or opposite sideline.

I'm not watching so I wouldn't know. That's why I'm asking.

[copadh]

Local supporters took break time to make pictures of INA cheerleading squad...

[ctjcad]

A close rubber game, as PSH is re-asserting himself, PSH 5-2..Couple of great smash retrievals from PSH, ends with Sony reaching and coming up short on the return, PSH 6-2..

[abedeng]

Quite a yummy basic lunch, I must say.

Park has come prepared with a better defence, Sony's movement is a bit slower now.

[ctjcad]

Quite a yummy basic lunch, I must say.

Park has come prepared with a better defence, Sony's movement is a bit slower now.
..i'd say you are hungry..;)

PSH with a smash to the body, forces a wide return from Sony, PSH 7-3..And netted a rushed forecourt push, PSH 7-5..Another error from PSH inches Sony closer, PSH 7-6..Sony's attempt at a net tumble fails, as the INA supporters react, PSH 8-6..PSH long lift lands in, PSH 9-6..PSH long clear is wide, PSH 9-7..

[eaglehelang]

Quite possibly 2-1 to CHN at that point. Boy, what pressure that would exert on WMC

Nah...it'll be Wang YH under pressure, China is defending champs, 7 time champion leh. Msia, this only 1st time reach Semi.;)

Btw, Your fav Korean cutie is playing today right?:D

[kwun]

PSH seems confident enough to be quite playful with his shots!

[ctjcad]

PSH burns one down Sony's backside after getting a knee burn himself, PSH 10-7..Sony draws to interval with a long and wide net push, PSH 11-7 @ interval..PSH opens the scoring by driving a flat x-court drive out of Sony's reach, PSH 12-7..

[abedeng]

Limited options for Sony, with his lack of speed, he can only lift short or high if his first attack is blunted by Park.

[madbad]

Nah...it'll be Wang YH under pressure, China is defending champs, 7 time champion leh. Msia, this only 1st time reach Semi.;)

Btw, Your fav Korean cutie is playing today right?:D

My girl is on next, with a chance of clinching the match for KOR

[ctjcad]

Sony's x-court semi-lift lands in on the corner, PSH 12-8..Sony sends PSH diving, PSH 12-9..INA's supporter chanting "So-nyyy, So-ny"(repeats)..
PSH apologizes to Sony after delivering a fluke net-drop which grazed the net, PSH 13-9..Sony answers back, PSH 13-10..
PSH forces one to Sony's body, Sony slow to react, PSH 14-10..Sony with a straight smash, PSH 14-11..

[narnia]

Gap-opening stage for PSH.

[abedeng]

I think now even Park is feeling the pace. Two short breaks within 3 pts.

[kwun]

sdk seems to be reading psh's shots. the gap remains reachable at PSH 14-12 SDK

[abedeng]

Park's forehand weakness cannot be rectified.

[ctjcad]

Nice little rally, ends with PSH reaching and failing to return Sony's x-court slice shot, PSH 14-12..Sony sends another winner down PSH's forehand side, PSH 14-13..Long lift by PSH ties up the score at 14 a piece..PSH running out of ideas, it seems..

[kwun]

SDK simply must win this for INA to realistically stay alive. that's a lot of pressure.

[robin7]

Sony regains the lead 15-14 as PSH looks tired.

[kwun]

he pulled even!!!

14-14.

[abedeng]

Simon stays up to support his teammate, the pressure must be immense.

[kwun]

PSH seems tired after some relentless attack at around point 13. SDK experienced enough to take advantage of that.

the pace dramatically slowed in PSH.

[robin7]

The crowd is supporting INA. Seemingly they prefer a CHN-INA final.

[kwun]

PSH looks a goner to me.

[ctjcad]

Long lift from Sony, ties it up again, 15 all..PSH with a backhand lift and Sony nails a nice little drop..SDK ahead 16-15..PSH sends one to Sony's forehand as Sony sends his racket to retrieve the shuttle, all tied at 16 a piece..What a match..
Sony living off his experience, SDK ahead 17-16..PSH forces one to Sony's backhand, and finishes it off at the net, all tied at 17 a piece..

[kwun]

16-16. this is tense.

SDK must win this game against a somewhat tired PSH.

[abedeng]

Park does a charge to the finishing straight.

[kwun]

net drive with SDK killing it off.

the stadium can be so quiet!

an opposite rally by PSH, kills off.

17-17!!

this is going to 30-29!

[ctjcad]

This time PSH comes up the lucky one, as Sony netted a x-court net shot, PSH 18-17..all nerves now..PSH not taking prisoner, PSH 19-17..PSH challenges Sony to smash, only to fall flat on his face & tummy, PSH 19-18..

[kwun]

SDK left a floater and PSH kills it off in 2.

19-17.

[belagabego]

PSH stop delaying the game...
you need o2?
here I have a lot of it.

[kwun]

SDK wrist smashes sending PSH left and right. SDK 18-19 PSH.

[vching]

Thrilling stuff!

[abedeng]

Park sends the return wide and the next rally is critical.

[kwun]

"DAE HAN MIN GOOK" being chanted from the KOR team.

[belagabego]

come on sony you can do it!

[ctjcad]

Sony forces a wide lift from PSH, 19 all...Chants of "Sonyyyy, Sony" getting louder..Sony forces one to PSH's forehand side, and PSH netted, Sony at match pt...Sony out of step and reach, falls flat on his tummy, 20 all...

[kwun]

PSH forehand lifted out. that's a quite simple shot!

19-19.

[abedeng]

Park saves matchpt by forcing Sony to the ground.

[kwun]

SDK took initiative at the at loose net. pushed towards PSH body. 20-19!!!!!!

[madbad]

Who will blink first? Sony 21-20 Park

[kwun]

risky x-court smash by SDK, PSH nabs it and SDK dived to get it, but missed.

20-20.

this is EPIC!

[belagabego]

sony winnnn
horeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[ctjcad]

Sony at match pt again, SDK 21-20..

[extremenanopowe]

wow.. mental game.. ;)

[kwun]

PSH simple error again. crosscourt clears out!!

[extremenanopowe]

well done to sony... ;) Looks like its a matter of who makes more mistakes and who wanted more. ;)

[abedeng]

Sony wins in a new record time of 73 minutes. No wonder Park was feeling the pace, this match is longer than last year's battle in JB.

Simon leaps to his chair in celebration as the CHN crowd erupts.

[ctjcad]

Wow, what a finish, PSH shakes Sony's hand and walks away dejected....Scoreboard all tied at 1 a piece..

[kwun]

PSH lifts, hits the net, float, and then SDK kills it off!

Sony Dwi Kuncoro beat. Park Sung Hwan 14-21 21-15 22-20

[badadum]

Gap-opening stage for PSH.

You meant gap closing and losing stage right? So much for the soldier training, PSH was more spent than Sony at the end.

Good job Sony....now lets see if Maria can do the same.

[nunu27]

MKY's time now..
hope she will grab it...;)
come on MKY.

[fd16n]

What a thrilling game. Sony needs to cut his error more. Indonesia hope is still alive and kicking

[cooler]

PSH simple error again. crosscourt clears out!!
it was a gift that SDK better not waste it ;)

[vching]

By the way, what happened to Kido?

[ctjcad]

Sony won it with his experience and court savvy..PSH still a lot to learn...Next match is of importance..

[kwun]

SDK kept hope alive for INA, PSH a bit overconfident at the middle of the 3rd game.

[kirana]

Well done, Sony!! Poor PSH though...but Sony really deserved to win:cool: Go MKY!!

[jasonmarc]

They play WS as 3rd match.....good, so INA has chance to even the score........

Go MKY......

But gives more time for LYD to recover his stamina..............

[madbad]

Wow, lots of INA support today. Guess I will plough the lone furrow for HHY.

[kwun]

Gao Ling at the commentating desk. OMG took me a few seconds to recognize her!

[cooler]

wow, gao ling look hotter than her wedding day:D

[kwun]

wow, gao ling look hotter than her wedding day:D

sorry i wouldn't put "hot" and Gao Ling in the same sentence...

[extremenanopowe]

wah gaoling commenting. cute.. ;)

[narnia]

Sony had tactics at the end. Good job! :)

[belagabego]

it's been a long time I never heard or saw gao ling.
when did she married?

[badadum]

Hopes Maria's knee (and stamina) will hold.....

[ctjcad]

madbad's cutie is up...:cool:

[kwun]

it's been a long time I never heard or saw gao ling.
when did she married?

something like last week. i guess no honeymoon for her..

[abedeng]

Poor Park, he might get another bashing for losing that match. But the better player did win.

[kwun]

HHY's pace started off really really slow.

[madbad]

madbad's cutie is up...:cool:

Well, is she looking... cute?

[ctjcad]

madbad, you should do a play by play for HHY's match...haven't seen you do a play by play in BC before..

[badadum]

Well, is she looking... cute?
Affirmative.

Maria's shot is off all over.

[cooler]

Well, is she looking... cute?u tell us:p, still woozy after the hk nurse?:p

[ctjcad]

Well, is she looking... cute?
..you're not watching the webstream??..

[kwun]

Brandon woke up in the middle of the night scared. now i have to hold him and watch at the same time.

kor 5-3

[abedeng]

Sony gets congratulated by all his mates and coaches. And proceeds to do another change of shirts.

[madbad]

u tell us:p, still woozy after the hk nurse?:p

w-w-w-what?? Faint... "NURSE!"

[kwun]

open this with IE to watch live stream:

http://www.badmintoncentral.com/streaming/cctv5.html

[ctjcad]

..this seems to be a doozer match...and i'm getting a bit sleepy..:p..both players lack the movement...5 all..

[madbad]

..you're not watching the webstream??..

Almost falling asleep now. Drove from Portland back to Van today, had a few drinks tonight and... ZZZZZZ. Best you professionals carry on with the commentary

[badadum]

..this seems to be a doozer match...and i'm getting a bit sleepy..:p..both players lack the movement...5 all..

Its WS....you expect firework all over? :p

[kwun]

sorry madbad. but HHY is not in the same league as Maria.

[extremenanopowe]

This korean beauty looks pretty good a few year back. Looks heavy now. ;)

[luyi80]

Wow, lots of INA support today. Guess I will plough the lone furrow for HHY.
No no, I'm with u, supporting ur cute babe!!!:D:D:D

[ctjcad]

someone got caught with his/her flasher camera??...i hope it's not one of the BCers..INA 9-6..

[madbad]

sorry madbad. but HHY is not in the same league as Maria.

I know she has regressed. Her predecessor Jun Jae Youn was a much better player

[kwun]

someone got caught with his/her flasher camera??...i hope it's not one of the BCers..INA 9-6..

BCer's knows better than that!

[eaglehelang]

w-w-w-what?? Faint... "NURSE!"

You have ambulance service mah. You better prepare your ambulances also :p:p. Afterwards the MD match will be real kicker.

[abedeng]

To answer madbad, HHY would look cuter with her skirt attire. But so far she's the one doing the running and catchup.

[extremenanopowe]

The korean wearing oversize pants. Makes her slow and heavy. she wear something shorter. ;)

[ctjcad]

No no, I'm with u, supporting ur cute babe!!!:D:D:D
..Meeee-shelle....you finally showed up..INA leads 10-7..Maria is already seen huffing and puffing..

[madbad]

No no, I'm with u, supporting ur cute babe!!!:D:D:D

Haha you're around today. Because of your support, HHY has pulled ahead 11-10

[extremenanopowe]

Looking at the size. a guy can wear that pants... ;)

[madbad]

To answer madbad, HHY would look cuter with her skirt attire. But so far she's the one doing the running and catchup.

Well, she knows I'm not watching hence the unflattering shorts for everyone else ;):D. HHY 13-10

[kirana]

Looks like MKY injured now? keep touching her knee...

[extremenanopowe]

any pictures of hhy? I wanna put her in my blog... ;)

[narnia]

How is Maria old?

[madbad]

Looking at the size. a guy can wear that pants... ;)

You're killing me with your pants commentary :D

[cooler]

Looking at the size. a guy can wear that pants... ;)
maybe it's madbad's short;) after some mixup inside the ambulance:D
Madbad, u should check your gear bag;)

[narnia]

HHY playing better. :)

[abedeng]

It seems effortless, the way Maria racks her pts. Whereas HHY waits for Maria's errors to capitalize.

[drifit]

14-14.......... not bad

[madbad]

maybe it's madbad's short;) after some mixup inside the ambulance:D
Madbad, u should check your gear bag;)

Dang, Maria has caught up to 14-14

What the... missing a pair of shorts :D

[drifit]

HHY leading 16-14........ :D

[ctjcad]

..i think the gals are trying their best to mimic how PSH and SDK dove all over the court, in the previous match..14 all..

[madbad]

It seems effortless, the way Maria racks her pts. Whereas HHY waits for Maria's errors to capitalize.

Who is looking fitter? I think despite Maria's superior movement, she does tire quite easily. HHY 18-16

[jasonmarc]

HYH is not at the same level with MKY.........if not MKY 's injury... MKY could have seal the game already......

[abedeng]

Brilliant dropshot, unexpected by Maria.

[extremenanopowe]

its like a marathon game man. so slow.. ;)

[narnia]

Maria, too many errors?

[madbad]

HYH is not at the same level with MKY.........if not MKY 's injury... MKY could have seal the game already......

Maria might be injured but HHY has to deal with the poor aerodynamics of the giant pair of shorts that extremenanopowe is so enamored with

[extremenanopowe]

that pants spoils the show. is it yours? ;) U lucky guy.;)

[kwun]

isn't KOR in the wrong national color here? KOR jersey's has always been blue.

[drifit]

game point to HHY..........

[abedeng]

HHY's backhand is very weak, Maria could just set up station waiting for the reply at frontcourt.

HHY on gamept and gamesmanship to refuse shuttle change.

[madbad]

HHY at game point 20-19

[narnia]

Maria looks having a problem in footwork... Is she injured?

[madbad]

Maria pulls even 20-20. Another game point to HHY 21-20

[extremenanopowe]

Tomorrow head lines. Cute girl with baggy pants wins the game. ;)

[kwun]

i stand corrected. HHY has really come alive after the first few points.

now holding game point.

[narnia]

Decisive attack from HHY. wow!

[kwun]

OMG. an aggressive shot from Maria!!!

20-20

[robin7]

Brandon woke up in the middle of the night scared. now i have to hold him and watch at the same time.
A nervous fan and a loving dad at the same time.

21-21 :eek:

[ctjcad]

Maria a bit over-anxious with her x-court reverse slice shot...HHY is getting killed at the net and at those x-court net shot from Maria..OTOH, Maria keeps making unforced errors..Finally, HHY seals it after another risky x-court backhand net shot from Maria 23-21....Wait, are they playing the "Ave Maria" song??...

[kwun]

too much aggression from Maria. x-smash out.

KOR 21-20

[luyi80]

Phew...at least a game from Maria, HHY jia you! Oopss...Dae Han Ming Kuk...!!!

[drifit]

HHY took the 1st game............. :)

[kwun]

excellent control from MKY. cross net caught HHY off.

21-21.

[abedeng]

Horrific errors from Maria, could have won this comfortably without them and now she has to climb out of a hole.

[THEbaschti]

If MKY loses this match it's gonna be very very tough for Indonesia to win

[extremenanopowe]

hhy weak in retriving cross shots. ;)

so, whoever's pants that is, it works. ;)

[robin7]

Maria should have won the 1st game if she could cut down her unforced errors by 10%.

[kwun]

MKY just cannot be at the offensive attacking.

HHY took first game! 23-21.

[badadum]

Its Maria's stamina that'll be the problem with such long layoff.

[narnia]

HHY played better. :)

[extremenanopowe]

maria shd wear baggy pants as well. The will give her the edge like hhy. ;)

[madbad]

hhy weak in retriving cross shots. ;)

so, whoever's pants that is, it works. ;)

I'll take the credit, thank you ;):D

[kirana]

Horrific errors from Maria, could have won this comfortably without them and now she has to climb out of a hole.

Agree! I thought more than half of HYH scores came from MKY's errors! Very tragic...come on MKY!! WIN the 2nd set! Hope her injury is not getting worse!

[copadh]

HHY played 3 games against WMC (lost), and another 3 games against Nanna (win). Let's see who's the real "queen of three games" now. Though this MKY isn't the same MKY who win bronze on Olympic Games.

[ctjcad]

I think Maria is forcing it a bit..KOR 3-2..Good judgment from HHY 5-2..HHY races to a 6-2 lead..

[madbad]

HHY out to an early 6-2 lead

[ardhitya.y]

Agree!!! MK should win this game.... many errors!!!

[robin7]

Maria lost her focus...

[extremenanopowe]

so slow... hmmm going to string my racket while watching. ;)

[ardhitya.y]

MK!! MK!!!!

Please MK, you should bring Indo to Final!!

[narnia]

Cause HHY is fast mover, Maria having problem to find an empty place that forces her to make many errors.. :)

[ardhitya.y]

MK have a beautiful cross netting

[narnia]

Or... her knee problem makes her lose control for accuracy.

[vching]

C'mon Indo! C'mon Maria! Show the Koreans why you are Bronze meddalist

(please repay the favor later tonight, my Indo friends)

[kirana]

Cause HHY is fast mover, Maria having problem to find an empty place that forces her to make many errors.. :)

Err..I don't think HHY is a fast mover, it just Maria is slower:D

[madbad]

Maria catches up to 7-7, but HHY picks up 2 quick ones to lead 9-7

[vching]

Maria needs to move faster.

She should Susi (direct kill) her opponents.

[kwun]

u can tell MKY is trying to minimize the stress on her knees in her movements.

[ctjcad]

HHY, despite lacking the court movement and footwork and strokes, surprisingly is hanging in there vs. Maria..KOR 10-7..Or maybe HHY is deceptively fast and quick...She leads 11-7 @ the interval...Maria needs to step it up or it'll be all over for her..

[kwun]

MKY has this awesome cross court drop that caught HHY off a few times.

agree with HHY gaining some weight.

[madbad]

HHY, despite lacking the court movement and footwork, surprisingly is hanging in there vs. Maria..KOR 10-7..

I think the stars must be aligning for HHY. She is able to catch Maria on a bad day.

[narnia]

Maria looks genius in drop. :)

[madbad]

agree with HHY gaining some weight.

[SOB] :crying::crying::crying:
(maybe that explains the baggy shorts)

[narnia]

Another decisive shot from HHY.

[demolidor]

Jeez ... this is about as interesting as watching 31 double faults by Kournikova :rolleyes:. On 2nd thought this doesn't even come close :p ...

[madbad]

Maria surging again, closes the gap to 11-12

[abedeng]

Maria forcing the issue out of the sideline.

[vching]

Jeez ... this is about as interesting as watching 31 double faults by Kournikova :rolleyes:. On 2nd thought this doesn't even come close :p ...

31 double faults? what de... fish? :eek::eek::eek:

[abedeng]

HHY not happy with the call but it was correct.

[madbad]

Every time Maria pulls even, HHY is able to put in mini spurt to pick up a few points. HHY 15-14

[ctjcad]

Maria not particularly accurate with her shots today...back to back wide shots from her..HHY leads 15-12..

[suetyan]

Although HHY is not as good as Maria in term of skills but so far I don't see she sent any shuttle wide or long. If she did I think only a few during the first 2 games

[madbad]

Maria evens at 15 all but once again HHY won't let her pass. HHY 17-15

[abedeng]

Everytime Maria drew level, she let's HHY out again.

[copadh]

Too many wide/long/netted shot from MKY

More than 50% HHY point was given by MKY easily.

[ctjcad]

Maria losing control...HHY still going strong, playing quite efficiently..HHY leads 18-15..

[kwun]

funny how MKY drops into the net, and then proceed to walk up and curses the net cord.

[madbad]

The trend continues. HHY led 18-15 but Maria chases her down to 18-17

[kwun]

painful to watch MKY with so many simple errors.

[abedeng]

Korean and Indonesian bench trade shouts and gestures.

HHY smashes home a matchpt.

[madbad]

Now at 19-19. Can Maria lead for a change?

[madbad]

Nope, HHY at match point and takes it at the first opportunity

[suetyan]

HHY bt Maria!! Unexpected!!

[ctjcad]

HHY's shot selection in some instances sometimes makes me wonder...All tied at 19 a piece now..HHY kills off a loose return, match pt for her..
Un-freakin'-believable........Who knew it would be a straight games victory for HHY against MKY of all people...21-19..
Yeah, the unforced errors from Maria doomed her...

KOR 1 pt away from a return to the Finals Rd.

[kwun]

indecision cost MKY a match point.

[abedeng]

A case of Maria allowing HHY to win with her mistakes. This tie is the Koreans' for the taking, almost.

[madbad]

Well done, HHY. I'll send you another pair of shorts for the final tomorrow ;):D

[badadum]

Too many mistakes by Maria....now do or die for HS/MA....... slim chances for the INA WD though.

[belagabego]

MKY do so many unforce error :(

[kwun]

a drop from HHY, another net error by MKY.

Hwang Hye Youn beat Maria Kristian Yulianti 23-21 / 21-19

[extremenanopowe]

Tomorrow headlines. baggy pants cutie wins! ;)

Wonder why singapore is quite? Lots of them went for Aviva world record today. ;) Trials. ;)

[narnia]

Nice game.. Enjoyed.

[jasonmarc]

Pity...pity....MKY....the injury kills her.....

HYH...well done...but with the baggy short....that dissapointed our madbad and all her fans...hehehe

[Crystalxue]

Maria K. lost in WS. Korea 2:1 Indonesia

[madbad]

That's it, I'm out.

[kwun]

Hwang Hye Youn started the match off rather slow but quickly got into her game. with a consistent and aggressive play, she beats a error prone Maria Kristian Yulianti in 2 games.

[kwun]

time to grab a yogurt from the fridge.

i have to play badminton at 9am and then meeting at 10am. and now only 1am with CHN/MAS to go... aiyah.

[ctjcad]

First time seeing Mohd Ahsan in action..i heard he's pretty devastating with his bombs..

[badadum]

Maria and Tine are queens of the unforced errors.

[abedeng]

Can't quite explain why Maria's performance today was so different from when she played WYH. At no time did HHY put her under any pressure whatsoever.

Fastdrop mentioned that Maria was crying after the loss to CHN, maybe some of the pain from injuries came back.

[badadum]

First time seeing Mohd Ahsan in action..i heard he's pretty devastating with his bombs..

Not at the level of Kido yet but he's an energizer bunny allright.

chin eei hui been fielded:eek:
mas determine to win in 1st 4 match?
anyway,i dont think the tie will down to 2-2,so unlikely to see the injured ceh and ng hui lin on court:cool:

just wake up,korea 2-1:eek:
gambateh ina,i hope mas vs ina/china vs korea in final:D

[kwun]

it was clear that MKY's knee was bothering her. she tried not to do too many hard lunge and buffers herself with her left leg.

[kwun]

just realized the commentator in CCTV5 is the veteran Xiong Guo Bao!

[ctjcad]

daaang, only 2nd pt and Hendra already broke his string...fast game by both pairs, i expect lots of flat drives and bombs..

[Koi^^]

Indonesia needs a lot of luck now to pull this thru...

[abedeng]

These punishing rallies have claimed 2 racquets so far, Hendra and JJS.

[abedeng]

The soldier is explosive and menacing at the net.

[ctjcad]

Whoah, Mohd Ahsan does have a very fast racket swing..although his shot selection can be improved..exciting game..:cool:

[badadum]

HS making too many mistakes....

[ctjcad]

JJS also doesn't want to be left out...Punishing bombz from him..I guess he really missed clobbering those shuttles when he was in the army training...

[jasonmarc]

JJS.....is so in from.....with LYD....a perfect combination.....

Great defence from Ahsan.........to LYD's back hand.......great match...

[ctjcad]

The KOR pair's movements, rotation and footwork are much better than the INA..

[Jyaki]

Anyone know when CHN vs MAS will be broadcasted on CCTV5? (local time)

[vching]

It could be all over for Indo in a few moments...

[abedeng]

This is too simple for Koreans, especially soldiers.

[kwun]

cant' believe INA is still single digits...

[pociteh]

Weak attacks by the INA pair.. to many futile smashes.

On the other hand, good attacks from the KOR pair. What a difference in quality..

[ctjcad]

Awesome display of defense from the INA pair..to the glee of the crowd..

[kwun]

must be one of the most unexciting MD in Sudirman Cup semi i have seen.

[ctjcad]

Anyone know when CHN vs MAS will be broadcasted on CCTV5? (local time)
7 pm local time in Guangzhou..

[kwun]

sad to see that this is the best that INA has to show for what is supposed to be their national event, the MD.

[Jyaki]

7 pm local time in Guangzhou..

Many thanks man.

[abedeng]

Great net service return, keeping INA in front for now.

[limsy]

i think will be down to 3 set,so relax:D
prepare ur heart for 3rd set:p

[kwun]

the backcourt camera angle is awesome. can really show the speed and athleticism of these players.

INA seems to be back in the game. leading 11-7 in the 2nd.

3rd game! 3rd game!

[abedeng]

Koreans comeback thru INA errors.

[Crystalxue]

7 pm local time in Guangzhou..

exactly!! 7:00pm Beijing time:p

[kwun]

funny how KOR players brought their own VICTOR thundersticks to cheer for their teammates. good idea.

[kwun]

KOR awake again. closing in 13-14.

[abedeng]

Ahsan's hesitation puts them on the back foot.

[limsy]

badmania,where are u?they need ur support:crying:

[kwun]

KOR shows who is the real boss by a series of non-stop attack.

[abedeng]

Dejection on the Iondonesian bench.

[abedeng]

Korean bench erupts and celebrate on court. Time for me to grab quick ride back to hotel for early dinner.

[limsy]

korea won it 3-1:)
congrates for korea and ina,dont be sad,u can gain from lesson:)

2 more hours and 20 minutes,mas vs china

[kwun]

KOR TAKES IT!!!!!!!

Korea beat Indonesia 3-1 and advances to the Sudirman Cup 2009 final.

[Bugsy]

Lee Yong Dae - Jung Jae Sung were awesome!!!

[badadum]

Not too bad of a showing by Hendra/Ahsan in the 2nd set...... just need to gel more playing together...but prospect is there.

YAY~!!! KOREA won!

[Bugsy]

WOndering how they could not win at the Beijing Olympics

[badadum]

3 hrs to rest before returning the favor and root for the MAS team :)

[eaglehelang]

Korea won it 3-1, thru to finals. After Maria lost the WS, well, not really much chance.

[winstonchan]

FINAL = VICTOR vs YY or LN

[badadum]

Korea won it 3-1, thru to finals. After Maria lost the WS, well, not really much chance.

badmania already stated that if Nova/Butet fails to deliver, INA chances are pretty slim. Didn't expect Maria to lost to HHY though...the knee is definitely hindering her.

[jasonmarc]

Military training has again proven to be good for badminton players..........Chn did it early this year, and now JJS.....just look at those big smashes................

Congratulation KOR and well done INA.............

Tonight will be China's night...........

[kirana]

Congrats to Korea! With Markis & MKY's injury, this is the best Indonesia can do, time to groom other players to be in their level, I admire China for it, so many world class players!

[belagabego]

hikss.... so sad.. INA out ......

WOndering how they could not win at the Beijing Olympics
They played the Denmark MD pair in 1st round
