Malaysia Open 2009: Day 6 (Finals) Sunday January 11

**badMania** · 01-10-2009, 09:20 PM

Mixed Doubles
Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir [1] vs Lee Yong Dae/Lee Hyo Jung [2] -- a repeat of the Beijing Oympics Gold Medal match. I think Lee/Lee have an edge, but, Nova/Butet can also spring some surprise if they believe in themselves and play well.

Women' Singles
Zhou Mi [1] vs Tine Rasmussen [2] -- my pick will be on Zhou to win yet another SS title.

Men's Singles
Lee Chong Wei [1] vs Park Sung Hwan [5] -- no doubt about it, LCW to win back-to-back MAS SS title.

Women's Doubles
Yang Wei/Zhang Jiewen [5] vs Lee Kyung Won/Lee Hyo Jung [4] -- the now independent CHN girls to win back-to-back MAS SS title after last year's thriller.

Men's Doubles
Hendra A. Gunawan/Alvent Yulianto vs Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae [2] -- a marvellous effort from the newly formed INA pair to get into the Final in their first attempt, which include the spectacular comeback from the brink of defeat yesterday. This also represents AG's first Final in a SS event. Alvent's experience in beating the KOR pair last year will hopefully help them, but, the KOR still has the edge.

Almost 50 minutes before the final battles and the crowd is starting to converge.

Had to park my car quite a bit away despite being early.

A quick bite, and a visit to the loo, and we are good to go.

Now there's a Mlay dance presentation.

**abedeng** · 01-10-2009, 11:44 PM

Nova and Lily just completed their "court inspection" aka warmup.

I am seated alone yet again, anti-establishment that I am. Directly on top of the main TV cameras and THAT GUY. He's doing his own last minute preps..

**abedeng** · 01-10-2009, 11:49 PM

A young TPE MD player just won fairplay award.

How do they determine that, I wonder ....

Hopefully it will be in vain

Could you find something especially heavy and drop it on, er, you know.... ?

Both Hauge and THAT GUY arm themselves with 100+ energy drink for the big battle ahead.

I should not believe this.

Let's hope that Alven/Hendra (a non-seeded entry) will win the MD title.

On we go with the 1st match of the day...
