Dear readers
Jaz and Amos are playing a Thai pair, Mek and Kantawait. They lost an early lead and are now trailing 9/10.
Thai gets 11 /9.
They still trail at 13/10. Now down 15/10. They get back a hard earned point and then another to reduce the deficit. Now they are down 18/12.
Thai gets to 20/12 without a problem and they win the first set at 21/13.
After a long rally in the 2nd set, Aus loses the point and the score is now 2/4.
Aus is now trailing 7/2. Jaz and Amos need to play harder as they are now down 9/2. Thai gets to 11/3. Too many mistakes are being made by the Aus players. They are at 14/3. Trailing at 16/3 and the game looks lost. Aus lose another long rally and are at 18/4. They are facing match point 4. We lose the game badly at 21/4. That's the end of the tournament for Jaz and Amos. Hopefully this experience will teach them for the future.
Tyz and Xiang are next in the same court playing Japan's Chikugo and Honda.
Hopefully this will be a better match. Aus lose the first 2 points. They then draw. They lose 2 points in a row. Tyz is jump smashing well. The score is now 5/4 in Japan' favour. Aus is now down 11/5 after a few simple errors.
Tyz and Xiang need to play faster and harder. They get to 8/11. Now down 15/8. Japan gets to 17/9.
We get a pt back but there is a 7 pt deficit. They reduce it to 5 pts and then 4. Now down 19/13.
Japan reaches game pt and win the first set at 20/13.
Aus is down 5/3. we get back to 8/6. Both are drawn at 8. Aus gets to 11 first. We still lead 11/13. Aus gets a good rally and point. Aus leads 15/13. Now leading 16/14 but Japan gets back a pt to reduce the score. Japan gets to 13/15. We are at 17/19. Aus gets to game point. Tyz gets a good shot for a 3rd set. He is hyped up.
They are at 4/4. Now trailing at 6/4. Suddenly they are down 8/4. They lose 6 pts in a row before getting 1 to 5/10. They get another point. They reduce a further pt. Japan gets to 11/7. Japan extends the lead. We get 1 pt to 9/14. Japan gets to 17/10 when Xiang dives but cannot get the shot. Tyz does a flick serve to get another pt. Japan gets to match point 12. Japan wins the 3rd set after Aus gave everything they had. The boys gave everything they had. Xiang's parents will be proud of him. I am certainly proud of how Tyz fought all the way. He will be disappointed that the tournament has ended for him. Both Xiang and Tyz will have learned lots from this tournament.
HD and Justin are playing Malaysia's Tan and Ooi. HD just got a pt with a tumble drop. Msia gets to 11 first but I cannot hear the score. I think Msia wins the first set. I am not sure what is happening with HD and Justin as I am engrossed in Tyz and Xiang's game. Msia gets to match point. They win the 2nd set. The final score was 21/7 and 21/8. That's the end of the tournament for Justin too and he has performed well in his first international. HD still has his singles tomorrow and hopefully he continues his good performance.
Gee, it is difficult blogging with 2 games going on at the same time.
