The Men's Singles final was a matter between number 2 seed, Chen Jin,
CHN, and Simon Santoso, INA, who has made it all the way from the
Qualification event!
Chen Jin quickly got a 7-2 lead but Santoso didn't just lie down! He
fought back and with the sympathy from the captivation ausience, he
reduced Chen's lead to 13-19. He gave Chen a game point at 13-20 by
sending the shuttle out! Chen missed the first shot by a net rolling
shuttle going on his own side! But the gab was too far op for Santoso
who lost the first game 16-21.
Second game saw Chen Jin being very confident. But Santoso kept playing
his own game, never giving up hope he could turn the match aroundto his
own advantage. Hope was fading thoug, as Santoso found himself 1-7 down.
As the second game progressed it was apparent that the World Junior
Champion from 2004 Chen Jin, wouldn't let go of this triumph it would be
for him to win a Super Series event! Chen won convinsingly 21-16, 21-10
but Santoso have great honour of this match. We will see more of both
these young players in the future no doubt! Something to look forward to!
