    To be honest with you for me it is just like watch energetic players play versus tired , sleepy player. really not worth watching. And to be honest indeed not an exciting semifinals. No excuse of course. I just have to learn to accept this.

    Great that Korea lost. So happy. Bravo Indonesians.Players like LYD and LCW should not be anywhere near a major trophy. Hope Ahsan/Setiawan and the youngsters lift the Thomas Cup

    Why Korea do not play KSH/SBC and lets KIM/KIM rest?

    Looks like I totally got it wrong in the MD prediction. INA totally killed it.

    Yup, can't agree more with you. The Koreans look very tired. Didn't have energy left to smash. It's such a pain to watch them playing like that.

    But why?
    Tiredness, mentally not ready after yesterday, INA just better, nerves, LYD factor? All together?

    Thank you so much for being so understanding. And you could have understand how I felt throughout the whole match. So sad. Its like I have been waiting for so long to see the Koreans play in the semifinals. Then finally I get to see only sleepy, tired faces playing today. What a poor match indeed.

    blame on team management, SWH still managed a win, LYD+someone still loses the big occasions, but why not put KSH-SBC who are certainly better than the kim Duo.

    Yuhuuu..Finals time.

    Barring any excuses, a win is a win.
    Ina won it fair and square.

    Sorry Korea and all the fans ;)

    Team INA is through to the Final after Angga Pratama/Ricky Karanda Suwardi beat Kim Ki Jung/Kim Sa Rang in straight-sets: 21-15, 21-18.

    It was a smooth comfortable ride for the INA pair from the beginning of the second-set until the scoreline was 19-11. The KOR pair managed to stage a comeback and won 5 pts in a row to make it 19-16. The INA pair had 4 match pts at 20-16, only for nerves to set in and once again the KOR pair saved 2 match pts to make it 18-20. The INA pair eventually won the last pt after a nice placement shot that was unable to be returned by the KOR pair.

    So, INA beat KOR 3-1 and awaits either DEN or MAS in the Final on Sunday.

    At least we have another session in three hours. I hope the best. To close calls. All in three sets, each SF 3:2. That's what I want :p Wishful thinking, but hey can just get better than this morning. Or was the QF matches of MS1 and MD1 KOR vs. CHN the only real thrillers with 90min each?!

    I think KSH/SBC has been off form this whole year... even less chance against INA

    No way MAS has a chance against INA.
