That's because we at SGVBC do
not play the NSS at all. At least not until this tournament.
...btw, Daaaaan, where were you??..
Viper2005 and I were wondering where you were??..You missed a lot of excitements...Although i wished if coach Alex were playing though, so we could see him and his partner(maybe Chris Ngu) play against Trisna & Mona...
Anyways, speaking of the latter names, another fun match was between them vs. Chris Ngu/Joseph Tok in the MD Funky SF. Both the latter tried their best playing against Trisna & Mona but lost in straight sets(21-18, 21-18). One memorable moment occured in the 1st set. They had arguably the best effort point in this whole tournament, as i believe i saw the longest rally during this tournament. During that exchange, Trisna & Mona kept hitting mostly to Joseph, clearing, lobbing, smashing & dropping and, miraculously, he was retrieving those shots. It went on for nearly 5 minutes, people were on their seat, oooh-ing and aaah-ing after every saved/defense attempts by both Chris & Joseph. At then end, Mona hit it out after a smash and afterwards she just collapsed on the court. Everyone clapped their hands in sincere appreciation. It was truly sheer fun and entertaining. 2 thumbs up for both pairs.

The B XD Final was pretty entertaininig as Grace & Robert Kuah played against Ronald S. & Priscilla L. They gave a good attempt, but just lost in 2 close sets(21-19, 21-19). I thought the young Priscilla played quite well in front against Grace, quite consistent and able to hold her ground. Ronald played efficient, although, IMO, his backhand is a bit suspect..
