haizz..no live once again on astro for the 12 pm 1st session anyway, all the best to MAS players tomorrow!
Men's Singles Lee Chong Wei [1] vs Taufik Hidayat [5] -- Lee has the upper-hand, but, Taufik has won the 2 previous encounters. He might yet surprise us again. Peter Gade [4] vs Sony Dwi Kuncoro [2] -- a year-end title in KK will cap quite a good year for Sony, despite his injury. Men's Doubles Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae [3] vs Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan [1] -- form-wise, the Korean has an advantage, so, they could probably take this match. However, I hope Kido/Hendra prove me wrong, after yesterday's surprising third-set reversal of fortune. Women's Doubles Vita Marissa/Liliyana Natsir [2] vs Jo Novita/Greysia Polii [7] -- Jo/Grace will be happy to head home with US$5k each, while Vita/Butet are aiming for the title after the revenge against Ha/Kim. Mixed Doubles Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir [1] vs Anthony Clark/Donna Kellogg [4] -- everytime these 2 pairs meet, I have a feeling the INA pair will lose. Somehow, the ENG pair (esp Anthony Clark) always plays well against INA pairs this year (losing only once in the Singapore SS Final if I am not wrong). So, advantage to ENG. However, again, I hope Nova/Butet prove me wrong.
This is arguably.. ...one of the most anticipated matches of the day, if not THE ONE to watch.....wow!....*mouth waters*.. *I feel narnia is going to follow this match closely, as well...
I think he himselve said his injury have recovered.....in news paper .....no worry any more...! Go...Sony
2008 SSF: Predicting the Finalists List . Here are my predictions, although I have been wrong as often as I have been correct. Players who could win today, Saturday 20-Dec-2008, at the Super Series Masters Semi-Finals Mens Singles Lee Chong Wei Sony Dwi Kuncoro Womens Singles Zhou Mi Saina Newhal Mens Doubles M.Kido/H.Setiawan K.K.Koo/B.H.Tan Womens Doubles V.Marissa/L.Natsir P.T.Wong/E.H.Chin Mixed Doubles N.Widianto/L.Natsir T.Laybourn/K.R.Juhl .
I read on newspaper this morning. It says that vita/flandy will replace saralee/sudket in semifinal today. But, on the schedule thai pair still on the list. Do anyone know? ???
Sudket/Saralee went to semifinal after long meetings ( 2 meetings)..they did it to avoid Clark/Kellog...but Referee forgot the rule 16.5...Referee admiteed he was wroing and gave wrong advise to Thai Pairs...it happened after Clark/Kerllog finished the match...Clark complained also as he did not want to play Nova/Butet in semi..also Nova/Butet prefers to play Laybourn/Juhl...haha...
So, did the Thai pair stop the game in purpose and make an injuries as the excuse in order to avoid Clark/Kellog?? Woow.. that's just show that they are not supportive. If they are injured, they should just give up the runner up of the group to Flavi..
both Clark/Kellogg and Laybourn/Juhl have a good record against Nova/Butet....so whoever ina play still very tough.........
