Pia Zebadiah Bernadeth/Rizki Amelia Pradipta confirm their potential as they win their first GPG title. That follows their triumphs at the Vietnam Open GP, Indonesia and Vietnam IC. 4 titles since being paired up early this year! Even Pelatnas WD pairs have yet any title higher than GP-level so far since Vita/Butet's title at the INA SS 2008. This will give them a real slap in the face. Pia/Rizki have a chance to make it 2 in a row at the Dutch Open GP. I just hope they will not be too tired as it will be their 3rd consecutive tourneys since the INA GPG last week. They will also stay in Europe to compete at the Denmark SSP and French SS.
Apart from the loss to the HKG pair Chan Hung Yung/Chau Hoi Wah and a scratch pairing of Saralee Thoungthongkam/Narissapat Lam (who went on to win the Thailand GPG title), Pia/Rizki lost to WR6 Bao Yixin/Zhong Qianxin, WR11 Tang Jinhua/Xia Huan, WR12 Misaki Matsutomo/Ayaka Takahashi.
Linda Lost 19-21 after leading most of the 1st set. like most of other Indo players i think that Linda is lack of physical strength, she had like 6 points lead at the begining 10 4 but TTY caught up and led 17-16 for the first time.. Linda 's backhand crosscourt reminds me of Taufik's without the power???... Linda needs to stay focus and train harder for physical strenght maybe should take swimming lesson on the side??
Is that legendary Rudy Hartono?? coaching Linda now?? wowowowow... Linda leading 11-10 in second set interval
2nd set belongs to Linda with the tightest posible margin 22 - 20 1 game all enjoy the DECIDER DO OR DIE been a great game
