THAILAND Open GP Gold 2013 : Qualification to FINAL (4th-9th June 2013)

LXR's once effusive praise for the Thai child prodigies, these two now playing were specifically mentioned by her among others, is in evidence and on display in the ongoing WS final.

 

Busanan's come-from-behind win in G1,22-20, is proof she's not overawed by her illustrious 'senior'.

 

China's success at the recent Olympics is evidence of her will power and that of her athletes.

 

No wonder Gu Juan couldn't matched Busanan this time,her opponent has improved considerably.

 

Amazing, Busanan retrieving everything Intanon throws at her and wins the point in the end.

 

Encore for Busanan?

 

Nope, we get to see a decider.

 

This seems to be an excellent match. I regret now that I can't watch it. It would be nice if anyone could post a video of this match later. Thanks a million.

 

No wonder GJ was unable to match Busanan. Beneath the cool cucumber exterior lies a killer-instinct. Matching Busanan on the smash is equally tough for GJ.

 

Woww.. What happened to Busanan all of a sudden?? Some special spirit?? She has won a game and leading in the rubber.. Sounds very interesting..

 

Busanan : See. I am in the leading. I won't allow you to move ahead of me..

May : Its too late.. I am already in the lead..

Busanan : ???

 

Both players actually have coaches during the break, very interesting,indeed.

 

Intanon has to dig deep to get ahead of her younger colleague...

 

Intanon opens a 5-point gap now,14-9

 

Busanan made repeated mistakes of clearing cross-court to May's forehand and put herself in unnecessary trouble. However her snippy whips close to the net made some amends.

Still difficult to put the two apart as May advanced to 11-9 at the interval for a change of sides.

But May begins to exert herself to lead by a 'massive' margin 15-9.

 

The game is slipping away from Busanan, it seems.

 

Intanon beginning to outmanoeuvre Busanan.

 

Intanon's reading of the game is better, able to anticipate several of her opponent's returns.

 

7 MP to Intanon

 

Yes, that's perhaps as far as Busanan goes 13-20!
