Huang Nanyan/Yang Wei bt Zhang Jiewen/Wei Yili 11-8, 11-1

Anyway, I can't believe that Wong Choong Hann lost to Ronald Susilo so badly in the second set.
It seems as that W.C Hann was very tired in the 2nd set? I thought R. Susilo should be more tired because he has had more rubber set games than Choong Hann.

But all credit to R.Susilo for knocking out the likes of Hendrawan and P.Gopichand. Perhaps he might have a harder time if he was against Taufik Hidayat. I guess Susilo must thank Anders Boesen for that!

Obviously C Hong and Xia are not pulling punches fr tomorrow's final.

No chance to watch but results seem to suggest Ch went all out 1st,

played rallies in 2nd, paced in 3rd and stepped up in last 5 points

to take advantage of Xia's lack of endurance.

I think Ronald will be fresh tomorrow and cn play at a pace that can trouble

Ch esp with his famous ounch clears.

According to Sing Open website Ch beat

Ronald 15-4 and 15-1. Some final. What happened.

Most Msian players were betting Ronald would win.

Or is Ch at his best sth else? To be honest I find watching videos of him

playing very entertaining as say Rudy Hartono,Yang Yang or Taufik.

He looks clumsy and slow but maybe only appears so.

It is indeed rare for Ch to beat someone so convincingly as he is basically

a middle distance runner .
