Indonesia SS 2008: Day 5 (21 June -- SF)

By contrasting fashion to Spore SS, Indonesia SS had more upsets in later rounds, at the moment still totals 17, same as Spore SS :

A total of 4 upsets from today's Semis :
Upset no 14 : XD, Denmark’s Thomas Laybourn/Kamilla Rytter beat Indonesia’s Nova W/Liliyana N (1st seed)
Upset no 15 : MS, Indonesia’s Sony K (4th seed) beat China’s Bao CL (2nd seed)
Upset no 16 : WS, Indonesia’s Maria Kristin beat China’s Zhang Ning (2nd seed)
Upset no 17 : WD, Indonesia’s Liliyana/Marissa (4th seed) beat China’s Zhang Yawen/Wei Yili (1st seed)

Note that 3 are Indonesia winning against China OG bound players. No sure is Maria is going for OG.

Expecting more upsets tomm, he he.

Some PAWers gonna score BIG! :cool:
 
Have to admit I'm pleasantly surprised. INA managed to place its representative in all fields except the one that I thought they would have it in the bag (XD).
Best of luck tomorrow :)

Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir blew 2 game pts in BOTH sets at 20-18 and 20-19 respectively. Otherwise, it will be another clssic Final against Zheng Bo/Gao Ling.

The rest of the results are pretty much expected, with more surprises coming in due to Maria Kristin Yulianti, Sony Dwi Kuncoro and Vita Marissa/Liliyana Natsir's commendable performance against the Chinese armada.

At least 1 title is in the bag and I think Vita/Butet will surely add another title to their collection. As for Tony/Candra, its 50-50 given Fuzzy's unbelievable form in the past 2 weeks. For Maria, I still think Zhu Lin will beat her, unless of course there's another miracle tomorrow.
 
You are now officially have more prophetic powers compared to badMania!
He he, Erwin now a prophet, kah kah

And Djarum seemed to have brought them luck! :)

And our Abedeng initutively flew there to witness it happen live. Worth all his $$$, I'm sure.
Liliyana/Marissa showed great fighting spirit, not dampened by their XD losses, they fought even harder in WD

Maybe they will make upset no 19 & 20, and I hope of course our Fuzzy will make upset no 18 :D;). Happy day at Semis for Indonesia team, who fought back harder aft the expected XD crumbled.

The biggest collector of upsets have to be Maria Kristin, right? :p And yes Maria is going to the Olympics. So, ...Maria, Tine, WMC, are the notable China-beaters in the horizon...

I was eating bakso and watching the match at the same time. I thought it was all gone at 18-20...only to see Maria so calmly recovered the deficit and eventually sealed the match. I screamed in delight....hehe.......

Good thing the Final will start at 2pm local time tomorrow, which means I will probably have time to watch the first three Finals, before going for a function at 6pm. The organizers definitely have planned the scheduling which fits my needs :D

Must be a grand function to celebrate INA's and your win! :)

But unfortunately, Yippy's form seemed to have dropped of late. Hope she recovers in time for the Olympics. I presume she's qualified. ;)
 
a confidence booster for Sony beating BCL. Gunawan/Chandra still the experience favourite to win the game. Unless Fuzzy/Zak can keep on attacking and fitness. Those 2 old man still very tricky and stubborn.
 
Oh? Is a guest speaker coming or you on duty, must go? :D

Neither, since I am back home in INA....in Surabaya (they last held an Indonesia Open in 2006) to be exact :D They still host the annual Jawa Pos-Gudang Garam Indonesia International Challenge though.....
 
CONGRATULATIONS to INA's Sony, Maria, Vita/Butet for their GREAT performance to take their victory over the mighty CHN's Bao, Zhang and Zhang/Wei.

Totally OUT OF PREDICTIONS !!!!
