Chayut Triyachart, h*i Ern gain access to semi-finals of 2012 Singapore International Series
Mixed Doubles team Chayut Triyachart-h*i Ern Ng performed beyond expectations and secured a berth in semi-finals of Li-Ning Singapore International Series after thrashing Zhao Jiang Terry Yeo-Dellis Yuliana on August 16, 2012.
This spell-binding encounter remained in full swing for 35 minutes and both contenders played impeccable badminton to read final figures of 21-11, 15-21 and 21-9.
Chayut and h*i Ern, who joined hands especially for this event, proved their mettle by stunning top seeded duo in the opening and closing segments of the battle.
On the other hand, the hot favourites Zhao Jiang and Dellis Yuliana put a below par performance and crashed out of the home event.
The very first set of match yielded unexpected result as the lower ranked shuttlers stamped their superior rivals with a huge difference of ten points in concluding margin.
Chayut and h*i Ern, who belong to Singapore and Malaysia respectively, showed superb coordination and outclassed their challengers in all areas of the game.
They set the ball rolling by grabbing some valuable points in a row and kept mounting pressure by dominating overall pace of the rallies.
They did not lose focus at any stage and finished first half as leading contenders. This initial advantage helped them to maintain the upper hand in later part of the game and they pocketed first match point with 21-11 score on the board.
However, things were not that easy for them in second set as the native shuttlers relished full benefits of the home crowd.
The twosome of Zhao and Dellis launched an effective counter-attack strategy and successfully avoided a straight-set defeat.
This time they established their grip immediately and remained in authoritative position all the way to final moments.
They bagged first half with a decent total of 11 and then magnified the impact with an impressive knock of 21-15.
At this stage, Chayut and h*i Ern switched on their best and served notice of their supremacy in the decider.
They dominated their competitors and cruised to victory with a favourable result of 21-9. Now they are scheduled to meet Alfian Eko Prasetya-Gloria Emanuelle Widjaja in semi-finals of this International Series.
