Congrats to INA for advancing to the semi final of the sudirman cup.. they will face denmark in 2moro semi final
The Japanese is making a late-comeback. 11-20. They are targetting Pia again. 12-20. Net return by Fran. 13-20 Yet another mistake by Fran. 14-20. Finally....Pia's return has Shiota floored. Cries of joy! Fran Kurniawan/Pia Zebadiah Bernadet won what is perhaps their most emotional and longest match of their career, beating a spirited Japanese pair in Shintaro Ikeda/Reiko Shiota 21-19, 23-25, 21-14 in an 83 min battle So, Team INA has progressed to the SF and met the target. Tomorrow will be a daunting task against DEN. It will be a miracle if they win!
My preferred team against DEN: Tantowi Ahmad/Greysia Polii vs Joachim Fischer-Nielsen/Christinna Pedersen - Towi is fresh and hungry for action, while Grace will be pumped up as ever to face the Danes. Simon Santoso vs Peter Gade - both players are not in their form, esp Simon. It's gonna be hard for Simon to beat Peter. Alvent Yulianto Chandra/Mohd Ahsan vs Mathias Boe/Carsten Mogensen - the Danes will be exhausted after yet another tiring defeat. Alvent/Ahsan need to take the initiative and play the right strategy. Adriyanti Firdasari vs Tine Baum - both players are exhausted but they will need to be fielded. Greysia Polii/Meiliana Jauhari vs Kamilla Rytter-Juhl/Christinna Pedersen - it could go all the way to the end. So, we shall see....
Yeeeeeeaaa, Target has been reached! Now the loss in SF against DEN would be pretty much forgiven... Thank you so much Alvent/Ahsan, Firda, Greysia/Meiliana, Pia/Frans! (No thanks for Simon!)
gosh... really breathtaking match... glad that INA could won it... when SS lost to KT, I thought INA might lost.. let keep the spirit alive for DEN tomorrow....
Great fighting from all Indonesia players! I love it! We are proud of you INA players. Tomorrow we must facing European Champion Denmark. Just do the best...no matter win or loss, the most important is keep your high spirit! Prove that you can do it! Yeaaaaah....!
