Ridwan/Robert is not last year's runners-up but semi-finalist. last year's runners up is Gerald Ho.

Yes, I watched too, that match was the most exciting of yesterday i think.

yes, you are correct. Aman/Rocky is too strong for Malik/Ardian. I was expecting to be tight match or even rubber but straight set. I just wonder why, maybe because of Aman's reputation make the opponent can't play at their best and eventually lost tamely.

I guess, Aman/Rocky will meet Gerald Ho/Desmond in the final. but who know there is an upset tomorrow for SF, shall just see.

Maybe I will sell them to the highest bidder

Although the tournament did seem to suffer from some confusion (and a dismal lack of game quality in the opening rounds), the big letdown was the wind

. Add all the ceiling-mounted fans to the open doorway, and it's as windy inside the hall as Chicago

When's the final?

**eskey** · 09-07-2006, 10:33 AM

final is saturday, 5.30 pm start with boys and girls first.

**extremenanopowe** · 09-07-2006, 10:47 AM

When I lost the game to them, I think indonesia is much stronger. Malik did most of the mistakes. So, better watch out for this indonesian guy. Good future for him. Now I know what Timothy and Kenny Wong also lost to him. If my partner didn't keep on smashing on the outside line, we could have given them a better game.

Ok man, lets move to Toa Payoh tournament this sunday. Different partner this time. 10am. Yee hah!!!.

hi extremenanopower, i was there last nite. who is your partner then i know
who are you, maybe i know you. after aman finished his game i went to shake
his hand then move to watch eric law/lau wing cheok lost to michael the/ satya adi nugroho. lau wing cheok played badly and couldn't take the pressure from nugroho. this young boy , michael kept on smashing till lau break down and his coach , nugroho just wait and the net to pounce on any lose shots,and he was the one who control; the game all the way and it
cost eric and lau the match. this guy, nugroho is good. he coach michael at
tpy hall on weekdays , but michael is still very raw. michael did play well by smashing all the way, but if they use the same strategy again with michael behind against aman and rocky then this time they will be in trouble. aman
and rocky is a very different kind of quality player, power and speed and able to convert defence to attack. i predict aman and rocky will take them straight set. see you guys there tonite. i love watching aman play.

cheers

I think extremenanopower lost to Malik/ardian in the afternoon, therefore he didn't play for night match, correct extremenanopower?

Yes, I agree. Satya (michael's partner) is the key for their team who control the game. For certain level of opponent it works, but it won't work against Aman/Rocky, because the level is different, and the team balance is different also, Aman/Rocky is the most balanced team which you can not take/exploit on one or other, but for Satya/Michael, there is a weak point that the opponent can exploit. I guess will be easy for Aman/Rocky to the final. However, Michael is very very young, i think 17/18 yo.

Aman/Rocky will most probably be in the finals. Gerald/Desmond vs Kevin/Adrian should be a tighter affair. Don't forget Kevin/Adrian beat the no.2 seeds Ridwan Basri/Robert Sugarra.
