Bao bows to peter(IBF) Bao bows to Gade Why has world junior champion 2000 Bao Chunlai not won anything since his last title in 2002, in the Denmark Open? Both Bao and Peter Gade had different answers to explain this after their semi final clash. According to Bao himself, he lacks technical skills and also the ability to settle down in early stages of key matches. For Peter Gade, the explanation lies somewhere else. “I believe that Bao Chunlai is a very skilful player, and is definitely one of the best attacking player, but I believe that he’s been lacking that extra bit of mental strength.” No matter what Bao was missing today, it was a very close match between himself and the top seed from Denmark. Gade was all fired up and took an early advantage thanks to the good side of the court he was playing on, winning the first game 21/15. Then came the tough decision of whether fighting all the way against the wind, and using energy to try to catch the second game and close it up, or hold his horses and keep some energy for the decider. Peter Gade didn’t make a clear decision on that point, trying to match up with Bao in the second, hoping for an opening, but still keeping some energy. Yet Bao was the quickest to reach 21 points. “In the decider, I knew then I had to take as much points ahead as I could before switching sides. Then, hopefully, I would score on a draw basis and match him to win at the end,” said Gade. His game plan worked perfectly and the Dane took a 11/6 lead before they changed sides of the net. And as planned, he was able to score on a parity basis with his opponent, which implied he got away with victory with 21/15 – 16/21 – 21/17. “Believe me, even if the score isn’t closer than 15 or 17, it is very tough to be out there to fight against the wind. But once again, I am really satisfied with my game and will now support Kenneth for him to win,” said Gade. The other semi final featured another Denmark vs China match later in the afternoon, with Kenneth Jonassen against Chen Hong. Incredible Jonassen Title holder here in Singapore in 2004, Kenneth Jonassen showed the crowd - all in Chen Hong’s favour - what a man with a strong fighting spirit can do. The Dane was surely in no position to brag when he trailed 12/19 in the first game, while he was supposedly on the good side of the court. The Chinese had had an incredibly smooth start, working his way, attacking over and over while the Dane was overwhelmed by frustration. “I knew I was on the right side, but I had just no feeling for my game. So I kept telling myself to fight and not let go, and if I had lost the first game, it would have been very, very difficult to come back.” The Chinese seemed so confident of his game, smiling between points, but he lost focus and gave some easy points to Jonassen, who got back on track. The Dane even closed up to 20/20 and saving another set of game points, he managed to win it 25/23 after a real spectacular come back. This could be one of the first times since the new scoring system has been implemented that such a big margin towards the end of a match wasn’t converted. The second game was just as tough, with Chen Hong taking the lead, but Jonassen also catching back for a breathtaking end of game at 19/19. A bad serve from the Dane, followed by an untouchable smash from Chen put the two men even to one game all. “It was all about getting as many points ahead in the decider on the good side then,” said Jonassen, matching his team mate’s remark on the importance of a good start. He did take a clear advantage 11/4, but as expected, after changing sides, Chen caught back little by little. Not enough, as the margin seemed to be too big this time. Trying to keep his cool, Jonassen however burst out when one of his shots was overruled by the umpire, giving Chen Hong an opportunity to get back to 16/19 – a crucial point. Yet the 2004 champion tried to calm down and took it away for the last two points, realizing that on match point, his racket had broken and if Chen hadn’t sent this shuttle wide, the point would have been definitely lost. “This is a great feeling to beat Chen Hong, but I was a bit lucky. I think Chen Hong should have put it away in the first game. This is the final I dreamed about. The title will be staying in Denmark, no matter what. And Peter Gade and I usually give a good fight and it is usually very tight, even if he has won most of our meetings for a while. Although, I had a better record against him before 1996,” laughed the Dane. The last time Gade had lost to Jonassen was last in 1995, in the final of the Irish satellite tournament. Since then, Jonassen has beated his younger compatriot only once in the Denmark National championships in 2004. Gade will be the favourite on paper for a rematch of the final of the Korea Open 2005 where Gade had won his last Grand Prix title. Yet Jonassen still is the only European player to have won here in Singapore.

老乔真是好人啊. For Kenneth, his “new” coach for this event made the fight even more exciting. “It’s very nice to have someone like Morten Frost on my side. I trust him very much as a coach and it is the first time he’s actually coaching me. With Thomas Stuer Lauridsen, things go very well also, so it’s really nice to be able to rely on some coaches like that. They support us and give us advices but at the end of the day, we make the decisions. “And in this tournament, so far, so good. I’m glad I performed well, but I still am not thinking of a success here. There are still some very good players around, and of course, I would like to see myself and Peter get into the final. It has been a long time I haven’t beaten Peter but if I lose to someone, I’d rather that it was to him, in the final,” said Jonassen. His partner Peter Gade ended the hopes of Ronald Susilo in the quarter final where the Singaporean played well but lacked a bit of extra energy on his legs to counter the Dane’s attack. The score was quite close – 21/19 – 21/16, but the Dane still felt he was in control of the match. “I was controlling the rallies, but I knew I would have to work very hard to get the first game when I was against the wind. Once this was done, I was very confident of winning and I may have let him catch back few points at the end, yet I knew I had to remain patient to take the right chance to close it up,” said Gade, hinting that he felt tired after all these tournaments back to back. Gade will play Bao in another appealing semi final, after the tall Chinese won against Malaysia’s Ismail Saman 21/11 – 21/11, still looking for the title he misses since his success in the 2004 Denmark Open.
