2014 OUE Singapore Open SS (Qualifying, Round 1, Round 2)

Rian/Angga disappoint once again as they lost to their juniors Berry Angriawan/Ricky Karanda Suwardi. If they still cannot win any SS title before the Asian Games, I reckon they should be split!

Nitya/Grace are 1-set up and leading 12-9 in the second-set.

 

Shizuka is a perpetual smasher. She has a great chance to win this match due to Sindhu's inconsistency issues that were witnessed in yesterday's match too.

 

As expected, Nitya Krishinda Maheswari/Greysia Polii won in straight-sets. They should be facing Bao Yixing/Tang Jinhua yet again for a place in the last 4.

Sigh...as always....Suci/Tiara led 19-15 and then 20-18 only for the CHN pair to catch-up and take the first-set 24-22.

Again a 3 setter for sindhu...She seems to me like moving slowly.. No idea.. Tomorrow, how can she tackle wang yihan if she is error prone like this ..

 

Suci/Tiara force rubber-set as they take the second-set 21-18. A close one indeed.

 

Hmm... actually Berry/Ricky are not their juniors. They are basically at the same generation. CMIIW.

And I think it's not that surprising Rian/Angga lost to Berry/Ricky since they have been practicing together so they already knew each other's game play.

 

Still very tight in the WD match with the scores locked at 13-13 and the match is already entering the 72nd min.

 

18-18 now as the match enters the 81st min.

 

come on suci/tiara. 18-17.

will they throw away this chance again? just like when they lost in a very tight match against o byx/tjh

 

19-18 to the INA pair. 2 more pts....

 

match point. come on

 

21-20. second match point

 

the former WJC runner up did it! next round they are going to face Misaki/Ayaka, break the jinx please?

 

C'mon Derek of Singapore Team! Hope you can go further!

 

in thomas cup, simon santoso will be a force to be rocken with,

Tomorrow, it is a huge task for him ..

 

Why don't they stream the first and second court throughout the day?

 

Kudos to Andini/Tiara

What a huge fight....

Misaki/Ayaka are very consistent pair so it takes huge effort to win against them
