Malaysia Open 2008 - Day 5 - Jan 19 - SEMI-FINAL

[badMania]

I think we might well miss the entire first set if this news report is not ending soon

 

[samuel882]

Tony /CW doesn't seem like wanna play their games at all
What a gennerous threat to their compatriots

 

[d65up2]

I fear there is conspiracy between them like Candra-Tony might be giving it to them for some reason.....well they can only prove me wrong if they beat the Danes tomorrow

 

[abedeng]

TG/CW made to look ridiculous here. Candra tries to hard and smashes to the net.

 

[badMania]

Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan wrap up the first set 21-11 in 8 mins.

 

[rizayosia]

Wow, Kido and Setiawan storms Wijaya and Gunawan in the first set.

 

[badMania]

Ok just nice, we have the second set ready.

 

[abedeng]

Now is more I like it, there some fight left. INA-USA lead 6-3 after a wonderful rally.

 

[badMania]

It could be like the HK Open Final, with the veteran winning the second set.

 

[Krisna]

I am a neutral observer in this match. Candra-Tony are old favorites, but Kido-Hendra need to get good seedings at the Olympics...

 

[abedeng]

Tony is no longer as agile as he was. But the smashes still sting, 11-7 interval after Kido misjudgement.

 

[d65up2]

Come on Kindra...you can do it.....!!!! Fight Fight...FIght Hard!!

 

[abedeng]

Hendra is floored by the veterans' smashes.

 

[abedeng]

Tony's defence leaks against Kido's smashes, youngsters back up before a good service return levels the score 13-13

 

[abedeng]

HS finds a great angle, then the veterans replied with great placement.

 

[abedeng]

Body drive to HS.

17-17.

Hendra takes revenge, 18-17

 

[abedeng]

Kido flew like a fox, and another smash brings 3 matchpts.

Game over.

 

[abedeng]

I see Ants and Hauge in discussion. With fastdrop too.

 

[badMania]

At 7-11, Kido/Hendra fought back and levelled it at 13-13. Then, it was quite even with each pair trading pts until 17-17. It was here that the youngsters upped their tempo and they won the final 4 pts of the set.

Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan are through to their 3rd straight Final in just 23 mins, meeting Lars Paaske/Jonas Rasmussen tomorrow.

 

[abedeng]

Hauge and fastdrop are mingling with Kido/Setiawan.

Waa, sounds like I'm stalking them already.
