yessssssssssssss................ Candra / Sigit win~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *wipe sweat* now can go sleep...... hehehe
It wasn't too bad I thought, and certainly got better as it progressed. Chandra/Sigit was a bit slow at the beginning as usual, but the pace really picked up, esp. in the third game. Joe P.
Man I can just strangle the stupid commentator, I mean, if he doesn't like the game, at least he should do his job and try to inject some excitement into the game through his comments instead of just complaining about how mistake-ridden the game is! He was even talking about how there are Indonesian fans in the building coz he can smell their food! It was more his tone of voice that annoyed the hell out of me, that monotonous boring tone, and he's complaining about the game being boring??!! And he was also constantly complaining about Eng Hian making mistakes, I mean hello, I'd like to see him play at that pace and not make mistakes eventually!
Anyway, maybe I'm just getting tired, after all, it's 4:13am here in NZ Good night fellas, have a good one! Joe P.
Let's see Candra/Sigit's road to champion: It's easy in the 1st round, but in the 2nd round, 2-1( 12:15 15:13 15:8 )beat BOE Mathias/MOGENSEN Carsten then in the quarter 2-1( 11:15 15:10 15:12 ) beat LOGOSZ Michal /MATEUSIAK Robert in the semi 2-1( 6:15 15:12 15:8 ) beat ALVEN/LULUK finally in the final beat LIMPELE Flandi/HIAN Eng also in a rubber game 2-1( 8:15 15:11 15:11 ) the same course in each match:lost in the first game ,then win the next two games.
If you caught the All-England matches on TV, you should have noticed that after the first set, they always show the statistics of "matches won/lost when one set up" for the winner of the first set, and "matches won/lost when one set down" for the opponent. For this tournament alone, Candra/Sigit's "matches won/lost when one set down" ratio would be very impressive.
My almost perfect prediction (which isn't that hard, mind you). Foiled only by my own countryman. One of the few times I don't mind being wrong.
