Today I won my Semi final against Beng Hee 3-2. I went on pretty focused and up for the match today. It seemed to pay off as I went out to a 2-0 lead and leading about 8-5 in the 3rd. Bengy realised that things weren't looking the best for him and totally changed his game. He started going short on almost every chance he had and was hitting some great shots. He took 6 points on the trot and won it 11-8 and followed it up in the 4th winning a comfortable 11-5.
I haven't got the bet 5th set record so I said to myself right, get a good start and hold the lead. Bengy went out to a 7-3 lead. Just what I was after. It was my turn to change tactics and I started slow balling it down the backhand wall, waiting for a loose one to take in short. Not the most fun way to play but I had to shut down the angles I was giving Bengy! In the end I got there 12-10!
Bozza won the other semi 3-1 against The Momenator. It was a pretty tough match and as Boz said afterwards, playing Tarek is like playing a different sport! The angles he hits, where he stands on court, his speed....You have to be sharp against him and Boz was! Final tomorrow is at 12:30pm.
