It is 2am right now. I just came back from X2, one of Jakarta's top dance-hangout-place. Met Taufik, Hendra AG, Lee Tsuen Seng, Haryawan, Haryanto Arbi etc. Basically almost all the SGS and the Musica Champion team. No Flandy, no Lingga, no Rijal... Taufik is a strong drinker! I am quite sure if both Lin Dan and Taufik consume 10 hard-liquor shots before their game, then Taufik will destroy Lin. Ha ha ha... When I left at 1:30am, everybody still behaved... Don't know how they will end up... Ha ha ha...
Yes I Did! TEAM ENTER FINALS JAYA RAYA JAKARTA vs SURYANAGA GUDANG GARAM SURABAYA Women TANGKAS JAKARTA vs JAYA RAYA JAKARTA CHAMPIONS Men JAYA RAYA JAKARTA Women TANGKAS JAKARTA Now.... my prediction is right! Jaya Raya beat Djarum 3-0 Kendrick Lee d Andre Kurniawan 21-19, 21-19 Markis/Hendra d Sigit/Fran 2 sets Ronald Susilo d Ari Yuli Wahyu H 2sets Surya Naga beat Tangkas 3-0 Chen Hong d Simon Santoso 2 sets Tri Kus/Alven d Albertus/Yohan 2 sets Sony Dwi Kuncoro d Alamsyah 2 sets Women's team Tangkas d Surya Naga 3-0 Wang Chen d Petya Nedeltcheva 2 sets Jo Novita/Endang Nur Sugianti d Lelyana Daisy/Eny W 2 sets Yip Pui Yin d Maria Febe 21-13 22-20 (not sure 1st set score) Jaya Raya d Djarum 3-2 Djarum lead 2-0 Adrianti Firdasari lost to Maria Kristin 6-21 7-11 ret. Firda didn't look well when came on court, looked on her face expression and lost easily to Maria Kristin Pia Zebadiah lost to Maria Elfira 8-21 15-21 (I think Pia should be focus on Double only, weak smash and no weapon as single player) Greysia Polii/Rani Mundiatsi d Meliana Jauhari/Shendy Puspa 18-21, 21-18,21-14 Djarum almost swept the match by 3-0. Greysia's experience factor made te winning to Jaya Raya. Rani had trouble with weak return so the match was dominated by Djarum's power in early 1st set and 2nd set. Fransiska Ratnasari d Rosaria Pungkasari 21-13, 21-10 Rosaria didn't look well, she didn't play for some previous matches and replaced by Febby Angguni. Wrong decision by Djarum "give" Maria Febe to Suryanaga while Rosaria & Sylvinna injury. Pia Zebadiah/Nitya Khrisina d Yulianti/Rintan Aprilia 21-17 21-14 Rintan played badly in this match. Actually Yulianti played well but not ideal younger player as pair leader. Pia/Nitya played well, I said they played better than Greysia/Rani. They keep in aggressive play and forced the opponent made some error.[/quote]
Tangkas leading 1-0 when Wang Chen beat Firdasari with score 21-19 ; 22-20. Both of them showed below par performance, boring to watch... Second matches : Yip Pui Yin (Tangkas) vs Pia Zebadiah (Jaya Raya), Pia win 1st set 23-21...
Hmm, bad sign for Jaya Raya... Pia lost to Yip with rubber games, 23-21 ; 15-21 ; 14-21. Yip has produced numerous error of jumping smash in whole match and in other way Pia looked so exhausted because she played singles and doubles yesterday. This match is more2 interesting than previous... Third match : Jo Novita/Endang Nursugianti (Tangkas) vs Greysia Polii/Rani Mundiasti (Jaya Raya) has started several minutes ago...
3/4 Placing Hi CLELY, do you know about third/fourth placing for men between TANGKAS vs DJARUM this morning... how about the detail of score...
Based on suarakarya-online, Men's Team third/fourth position match will be played after Women's Team Final. Don't know if any changes of this schedule. Back to Women's Team Final, Greysia/Rani has made Jaya Raya chance still alive! They defeated Jo/Endang, 20-22 ; 21-6 ; 21-10. Now, fourth match between Fransiska Ratnasari (Jaya Raya) against Yuan Kartika (Tangkas).
Same score, 2 - 2 for Jaya Raya and Tangkas after Fransiska win over Yuan, 21-13 ; 21-18. The last match as decider, obviously Tangkas will win the President Cup for Women's Team, no hope for Jaya Raya. Lilyana/Vita vs Pia Zebadiah/Nitya Krishinda, what a different class...
Simon won 1st set over Andre 21-16... in the 3rd-4th place tie between Tangkas vs. Djarum... Yes, the organizers decided to have the 3rd-4th place match after the Women's finals, not at 9am like the original schedule. Because the players are tired after last night's semis...
SEPERTI ramalan pelbagai pihak, pasukan Tangkas Jakarta muncul juara acara berpasukan wanita Superliga Badminton Indonesia Djarum 2007 selepas mencapai kemenangan tipis ke atas Jaya Raya Jakarta 3-2 pada perlawanan akhir yang berlangsung di Britama Arena Sport Mall, Kelapa Gading Jakarta sebentar tadi. Gandingan Vita Marissa/Lilyana Natsir menjadi wira kemenangan pasukan tersebut dengan menundukkan pasangan Pia Zebadiah/Nitya Krishinda 21-13, 21-17 pada perlawanan penentuan setelah kedua-dua pasukan terikat 2-2 yang disaksikan hanya kurang 500 orang berbanding kapisiti tempat duduk berjumlah 4,000. Dengan kejayaan itu, pasukan Tangkas yang diketuai pemain import dari Hong Kong, Wang Chen berhak menerima hadiah wang tunai Rp200 juta manakala Rp100 juta dibolot oleh Jaya Raya Jakarta. Terdahulu dari itu, mata pertama Tangkas berjaya diraih menerusi Wang Chen yang turun sebagai perseorangan pertama dengan membenam cabaran Firdasari dalam pertarungan cukup sengit 21-19, 22-20. Kemenangan itu nyata memberi semangat berkobar-kobar buat Yip Pui Yin yang diletakkan sebagai perseorangan kedua apabila mematikan langkah Pia Zebadiah dari Jaya Raya Jakarta biarpun berlanjutan ke set penentuan. Pui Yin menang 21-23, 21-15, 21-14. Setelah mendahului kedudukan 2-0, dua wakil Tangkas seterusnya gagal meneruskan dominasi rentak cemerlang apabila lawan berjaya menidak setiap langkah hingga membolehkan kedua-dua pasukan terikat 2-2. Berkat pengalaman luas di arena antarabangsa, gandingan Vita/Lilyana akhirnya memecah kebuntuan Tangkas pada perlawanan penentuan dengan menundukan pasangan Pia Zebadiah/Nitya Krishinda.

Not good for those who are physically weak. True. For those who are fit, playing one match per day is no problem. The continuous league games give a lot of playing experience for those who does not get a lot competitive match exposure...
