So close yet so far...

Social Badminton Tournament was indeed a much more "disappointing" tournament once more, with me getting first round exit and second round loss.



The singles section:

First round against Wong Kok Yee.

The whole match was basically a much more....got opportunity to win but missed it? The first game was a lost when i lose out 10-21 because i was facing a lot of pressure and tense. Couldn't really read his game much and then a lot of mistakes happened there.

The second game was a much satisfied performance for me, but somehow i was lacking of something to close up the game. It was a neck-to-neck fight between my opponent and the score came from 1-0, 1-1, 2-1, 2-2....and so on...and i managed to take the lead twice with the 2 points gap...but i wasted it. My opponent was so tired till he kept asking for short breaks and towel down, but i just blow the opportunity to make a rubber game. When the score reached 17-17, i started to become desperate and wanted to go for some winning shots and my winning shots did not pay the price, instead most of it went OUT....and the game ended 17-21.


Score: 10-21, 17-21


Another exciting match of the day was the match of Kevin Lee Wei Yang vs. Ng Yap Siang.
This match was the match of the day when Kevin was really the player with Fighting SPirit, not willing to give up the match and tried to hang on it. He really gave that player(i assumed him to be a circuit player) some nerves and ....a really good match and good fight he gave today.

A player i will salute indeed.

The score was : 23-21, 15-21, 14-21



Doubles:

My partner and i managed to get Firstround-bye so we started off with the second round. The opponent we met was really great, doubles specialist. Today, my partner and i were lacking of communication so it didn't went so well, but we tried to give our best to our opponents. It didn't turned out to be that great...but...it already happened.

Score: 10-21, 17-21



Conclusion:

This tournament indeed gave me a new experience on where to work on and improve. A brand new exposure meeting all kinds of players and of cause...meeting pretty girls, anyways, Gotta work harder and perform well in the coming tournament.



"The moment when i wasted that opportunity was really......"


To Soon Ong: It's okay bro. Don't put the blame on yourself. We already gave our best and at least made them sweat! Haha! Let's now look at the future and improve on our mistakes.
