Huai Dong's and Phing's singles

Dear readers

HD is playing Singapore's NG ZRR. He is trailing at 7/10. He reduces the gap to 2 pts. Singapore gets to 11 first. The Spore player is fast. Spore gets to 15/8 and then 17/8.  HD gets a point with a smash to get to 9/17. Spore does a high jump smash to extend the lead again to 19/9.  HD gets to 10 after Spore hits out. Spore gets to game point but HD hangs on for another pt.  After a long rally HD loses the set.

Hopefully HD recovers for the 2nd set.

HD trails at 2/3. He is getting outsmashed by the Sporean. He now trails 5/2 and then 7/2 . HD tries for a towel break to break the other player's good run but the umpire rejects his request. He now trails 10/2. Spore gets to 11/3.  HD gets the first point after the interval.  He now trails at 14/4.  Spore hits out to give HD a point. Nothing is going right for HD as his shutter falls to his side of the net after a good drop.

He gets a point to 6/19.  Spore gets to match point and finishes the match.

That's the end of he tournament for HD. He has progressed further than any other player but the journey ends here. The experience earned will help him in the future.

The next game we are watching is Phing's game.

Phing is down 15/8 against the no. 4 seeded Indonesian player Sheren. She trails at 18/10. Spore gets to game point 10 and then the set.

Hopefully she will play a better 2nd set.

She trails at 3 love. She gets to 3/5 and keeps close to Indo. She gets another pt. Indo hits back to get to 8/4 and then 9/4. Indo gets to 11/4.  Indo remains strong at 13/5. Phing wins 2 pts in a row but remains at 15/8.  She continues to trail at 17/9.  Indo gets to 19/9 and looks like she is closing the game. Match point is reached by Indo but Phing recovers a point.  But the rally and match ends when her shutter hits the post.  Her tournament ends but her training will continue.
