KL Open 2009 - Quarters ( 05 march 2009)

Venue for quarters final, CIMB KL Open 2009 located at Berjaya Time Square.

I found some interesting games during the KL Open quarters final at the above venue dated 5 march 2009.

1. Rachael Grinham beat Alison Waters 11/9, 4/11, 10/12, 11/8, 12/10. (63m)

The fifth games (video below) demonstrated how Grinham escaped narrowly from Waters when Waters managed to recovered from 7/9 down and leading 10/9, match ball. However two mistakes came from Waters and Grinham finally enter semi-final with the fifth game results 12/10.

2. Nicol David beat Jenny Duncalf 11/1, 10/12, 11/7, 11/9 (46m)

An interesting second game when Jenny came from behind 6/10 and took the game with 12/10 (as video below). My opinion, except game 1, Jenny plays very well for subsequent games, but may be ..... Nicol is too good.

3. Laura Lengthorn beat Natalie Grinham 11/6, 11/9, 11/6 (23m)

Natalie, the regular participant for KL Open and Malaysia Open. We all love to watch her games and she always is one the proposed player to face Nicol (of course) in the final.

However, Lengthorn won 1st and 2nd games and kept leading in the third game, 10/2. Can Natalie recovered from behind in such situation to force the match into forth and fifth ? The video below shown Natalie managed to gain another 4 points...... 4 points only.....
