It's Semifinals Day and there will be two sessions, first-session at 13:00 and the second session at 18:30 local time. tournament website : http://www.hkbadmintonassn.org.hk/en/hong-kong-open tournament-software link: http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/matches.aspx?id=49294AD3-B6EF-49FE-A043-6EA0B456133C HKG time : http://www.worldtimeserver.com/curre...city=Hong_Kong First session for International fans and second session for Chinese fans ( all matches involves Chinese players)
MS SF Tommy Sugiarto vs Chen Long [2] - this represents Tommy's best result in a SS event. But I don't think he stands a chance against Chen Long.
MAS last stand?! Lee Chong Wei vs Kenichi Tago LCW sure confirm to the final unless he play in full force unlike his playstyle against NTM last night because he play like almost sxxt. Meanwhile KT still on the same level above Arif and that's why he might use full furce to compete LCW. Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong vs Lee Sheng Mu/Tsai Chia Hsin Better Koo/Tan do it seriously as the TPE pair is not easy to handle like previous opponents. All they need to do is no more trickshots and do lot more attack strategy in order to win match. Chan Peng Soon/Goh Liu Ying vs Xu Chen/Ma Jin Another Deja Vu moment, don't know why these two pairs are so coincidence as much like LD vs LCW. However the CHN pair will win this maybe in rubber games, while Chan/Goh need to keep consistent to win every point.
Chan/Goh chances against the chinese pair would as usual, be slim. at least Goh manage to get a good rest as playing sequence being last of the day, considering that she played some long matches yesterday. KKK/TBH should be able to do it this time, now that they are back in form, their competitos(which most of the time they lose) are from the usual other top 5 pairs. KCW vs Chen Long in the finals seems to be very likely at the moment
A creditable G1 loss,21-15, followed by a thumping in G2,21-6, for the JAP WD,Matsuo/Naito, inflicted by Wang/Yu in 34 mins.
A reasonably good chance we'll see KKK/TBH in the final tomorrow,I think. The CHN Taipei MD is relatively new,heard GC said it's their first tournament together.
a pity for the chinese taipei pair, something similar to ah how match yesterday, leading all the way doesnt equal to winning the game... second set is one sided... 9-1 early lead
