Nova/Natsir vs Tao/Zhang

13-21: Chinese victory, and Nova not looking very strong. Rumours were that they were to split up, and to me it seems like the only wise thing to do.

10-17: Nova being moved side to side can't do anything

10-16: great rush to the net by Tao

8-14: The defensive tactic is in effect now

8-13: Unforced errors in attack

8-11: chinese still attacking, but with more patience. Now on the side where there seems to be a little headwind so maybe more defensive tactics now

7-7: Chinese pair more agressive now, and it's not doing them any good

3-6: Yawen dominating the net now

0-1: Nova smash in net

17-21: Nova being worked at the backcourt all the time. He is simply not dangerous enough from this position. Great defense from the chinese pair keeping Natsir out of the game. Interesting to see if they can come up with a counter strategy to the chinese tactics

16-19: Indons just won a long long rally, they are working very hard for their points

11-16: Nonchalant play by Indons

10-13: Service fault Nova

7-11: Nova is being worked at the backcourt which opens up for mistakes from below net

5-7: Again Nova is making som mistakes

21-10: The indons of course know each other very well and it's clear that Yawen/Tao doesn't have the same mutual understanding. Interesting to see if Nova/Natsir can keep it going

14-7: Yawen has not been able to make a difference

11-7: Indons looking good

9-6: Indons playing mostly soft strokes

5-5: Easy mistakes from Nova

5-2: Fast start by indo
