Bao and Chen can play incredibly well for one set, then completely collapse and get their ass handed to them in the next one...It's like if they're in a coma or something lol..wonder who will wake up for the third set

Holy smoke, I would not put a penny on Chen Hong if he has to play Taufik in Final. I believe Lin Dan is still the best bet even in INA.
just for the record. Chen Hong is 0-5 against Taufik. their last two encounters were Indonesian Open 2002 and 2003.
Luluk/Alven 1-0 2-0 service over service over 3-0 4-0 5-0 net u.e 6-0 net ret. smash. 6-0 long 7-0 forced error INA play very fast service over 7-0 long 7-0 good smash service over
Bao's lost also disproved some people's speculation of Chinese team might arrange Bao to beat Taufik and ensure the MS title. ( Maybe the Coach is confident about Lin Dan's ability )
service over 0-7 1-7 service over 8-1 9-1 10-1 very fast play by Alven 1-10 weak serve 2-10 3-10 good placing 4-10 5-10 wide service over 10-5
