What a close match. The reigning World and All-England Champions Tontowi Ahmad/Liliyana Natsir clinched the ticket to their 3rd Singapore Open Final after a nervy ending to the match: 17-21, 21-11, 21-19. As Gill Clark mentioned, Liu Cheng/Bao Yixin are getting closer and closer to beating the top pairs now. They will be a pair to watch and will surely be in the top 10 very very soon.
YES! It will be an all-INA Final in XD as Riky Widianto/Richi Puspita Dili upset Ko Sung Hyun/Kim Ha Na in 3-sets: 20-22, 21-17, 21-16. INA is guaranteed a title tomorrow and I personally feel Riky/Richi may be "given" the title.
Congrats Richi/Ricky....what a breakthru tourney for them....Beating red hot pair atm Ko/Kim is something
it is interesting who Richard Mainaky will pick for 2nd pair to WC 2014. the choice between Ricky/Richi and Praven/Debby..
No urgency and no significant improvement from Sung since she won the Korea Open SS - how disappointing. Li Xuerui is having an easy time on her path to the final.
And just when I wanted to switch courts, too...the display on Court 1 is absolutely pathetic to watch.
