Indonesia Open SSP 2012 - Semi Final

[madbad]

LXR should win in reasonably easy fashion tomorrow. Saina has been stretched to the limit in the QF and SF. Fatigue will be a big factor. We can only hope she will keep it close and competitive.

Yea man,an uncanny resemblance between Hu Yun and Taufik, for a moment I thought I saw Taufik in his younger days

 

[Justin L]

Or as cobalt once called him "Dopey"

I think I prefer Dupy - Dopey has dope in it, Dupy no dupe

Taufik is only a few months older than Hu Yun.

Cobalt only called him dopey after a string of questionable decisions on court that no one (maybe even him) could fathom.

I always thought these world class players train 6-7 hours daily excluding Sunday(rest day) as Lee CW admitted, so fatigue may be a factor but shouldn't be a big factor.

Taufik is only a few months older than Hu Yun.

I beg your pardon, sorry about that, I thought Hu Yun is only 24/25 yrs old.

 

[Heong]

Strange how alot of people in the crowd cheering for Hu Yun

And no supporters for Du Pengyu

Either they are real fans or HK residents, or just pure anti-China haha

Physically she might be able to hang in there but mental fatigue also creeps in. Even the slightest lapse will cost you a run of points.

madbad, why you always late to witness good action...........

Yea, I always believe the mental aspect is more important for world class players of more or less the same standard. Still both of them have to be very careful, the slightest injury could put paid to their OG hopes.

my local commentator said he is 30 years old. Maybe I heard wrong.

Play started at 12:30am and I could only last for an hour. The woke up at 7:00 and just about everything was done. Bad timing I guess

 

[Justin L]

Dupy physical fitness is remarkable

If not mistaken, I read somewhere he was born in 1982.

I thought ambulance service is 24 hrs business.......

 

[robin7]

Off topic: Dimitrov's serve is terrible today.

He's born on 31st August 1981.

Taufik Hidayat is born on 10th of August 1981, BTW.

 

[Justin L]

And Dupy moves into the final tomorrow for his first crack at a Superseries title.

 

[etudiant]

He's born on 31st August 1981.

Taufik Hidayat is born on 10th of August 1981, BTW.

Gosh, they're practically twins
