Janet Son and Tiffany Ho v Indonesia

Dear readers

Janet and Tiff are about to start their match against Indo's Gregoria and Fauzia.

They trail at 3 love as the girls get their jitters out. Janet gets their first pt with a good smash. They trail at 3/5.  They remain at 4 while Indo continues their lead. They reduce the points to 7/8.  Indo gets to 11/7.

Indo remains ahead at 12/7. Aus gets back a few pts. There is a long rally where Ho turns defence to attack and then the Indo turn the game around again for the point.

Indo is now at 14/9. Ho gets a good net drop to get another pt. Indo remains strong and get to 19/10. Indo gets the first set at 21/10.

Aus will have to fight harder if they want a rubber.


Aus keeps close to the Indo team for the 2nd set. The score is 3/4. We now trail at 4/7.


There is a long rally but Aus could not capitalise on the advantage when the smash goes to the net.

There is another long rally before Aus hits to the net. Everything Aus throws at Indo comes back.

Indo gets to 11/4.

Aus trails at 14/5.  Indo seems to be lifting and waiting for Aus to make the mistake.  We now trail at 16/6.  Yet another long rally where Aus hits the net to give Indo the point. The last rally must have gone for about 30 strokes before Aus hits the net to give Indo another pt.

Indo reaches  match point. They continue to lift while waiting for us to make a mistake. This time Aus gets the point. Indo finally finishes the game. Both Ho and Janet have tried their best. Unfortunately the Indo girls are too strong.

Good luck to Janet and Ho for their future games Their journey ends today but the future looks bright.
