SF | MD | GIDEON/SUKAMULJO (INA) [1] vs RANKIREDDY/SHETTY (IND) | BWF 2018

so welcome back to start Pierre de Coubertin after that dramatic [Music] semi-final to top that to immense and the world number-one-ranked pair Marcus finale gideonland Kevin Sanjaya primordial today looking to reach an eighth final this year they're up against the Commonwealth Games silver medalists a quick-fire out Iraqi ready and Chirag Shetty as far as the race to Guangzhou is concerned in the men's doubles well I can tell you that Gideon and short kamal you are at number one and they've already qualified before the finals by reaching the quarter-final a stage here today have guaranteed their place in the finals so two of course are the world champions at number eight on that list but of course the big movers after the denmark open was Kimura and sonoda they shot up six places from in Lebanon to number seven well as far as the draw is concerned five definitions by quarter-final stage two seats and the two seats were in the top quarter only one seed obviously then left at semi-final stage and it is this pair the number one seeds gideon and stuff colonial [Applause] the Commonwealth Games silver medalists at which Suraj aren t ready and Charan Shetty now this will be the pits meeting between these two pairs and if you're an Indian fan just briefly look away come back to us in 30 seconds because the last four times that these two pairs met have all been won by the Indonesian skid Ian and silk Amalia but the last time they met was in the team competition all the Asian games and it was three games black on that occasion the only time is beyond two three games no so far so obviously the young Indian pair are getting closer and closer the Indonesian okay so that was very confusing I thought the Indian pairs have we've already put picked that far side but the Indonesian wanted that far side so I'm not quite sure who actually who's gonna get it to sketch it obviously the pair that won an ax toss but here we are with the markers for now Lee Gideon winner of this title five years ago when he was a qualifier with Marcus Kido a be two kooky and captain tan Boon hunt in the final so the 27 year old trying to make it a second final here at the French Open for Kevin Sanjaya sorghum oliel the 23 year old this is just his second appearance here and they are world number ones they're enjoying their 69th week in total as world number well as far as they're concerned their first round match against lambs for suicidal was their most difficult that's the only one that went to three games in note and what an are they who won the recent Korean open their victims in the second round sighs all right you ready just 18 years of age in andhra pradesh state on the southeast coast down to one place in the world ranking this one 225 but they have been at number 18 a total of 11 weeks and 18 making their second appearance here last year they will quarter-finalists so they've gone even one place better bay as it used to be cool to cheer on shetty and they had a great tournament yesterday and they've had a great tournament last year and they've had a great tournament this year as well but they haven't played against a seeded pair second round against her cheating and turn she on the longest match at 36 minutes so far and then the quarter-final against their teammates at three and already who in the second round had beaten the world champions from last year a new change and Jiang nan so this for the Indian combination as we look at our court officials for this this for the Indian pair a first ever semi-final at a super 750 event made the semi-final to super 500 Indonesia masters earlier this year but at this level of tournament this their view first-ever semi finals last year incidentally the Indonesian team Natalie sorry the Indian pair a loss to a bowler Mogensen in the quarter-final stage baal Mogensen then lost in the final of in the second round they beat the number succeeds comrade and Colding and I have to say Morten that was probably the first time I paid real attention to ranking ready and shitty they're very good pair they're young they are up-and-coming they're dangerous to play they are very spectacular to watch they go all out on the attack so this should be an exciting match there it can be it can be obviously it all depends on if the world number ones are playing really to their very best I think they will win it but if they don't on my right and on my left Markus faladi Gideon and Kevin sanjaya's to Cambodia Indonesia Marquess Florida Gideon to serve to start with Cyrus ronke ready Louisville play it hurt ito he embarked from France getting this match underway one lump [Applause] to luck yeah that was patiently played by Kevin Sakamoto defending three times blocking it three times and then taking control ensured the lift and the Indonesians took the point and this is what he is doing so well in this tournament he's jumping up and not going for the hundred percent smash but he's going for a 60 70 percent smash but he's going for placement and steepness oh my goodness me well that shuttle was tumbling on the server and thank you ready destroying it come what you and I were discussing they serve over breakfast yes right and you felt it wasn't only tumbling but it was swerving as well yes I I do when I especially when I sit here and I'm watching it because we're sitting right behind the court yeah and court level yeah and yes that's what I feel it's not every time but sometimes it does our first point on the boards for the Indian youngsters and it certainly does give the Indonesian an advantage in the service and return situation of his fault called too high service over 7 1 so be sober - seven oh I've a feeling that sorry no serve may have been short I think so too just clipped the top of the tape and that obviously changing direction yeah but once the players committed to these men's doubles players are so fast forward it's difficult to pull out of it so you have as you said you have committed yeah [Applause] [Music] [Applause] there comes again yeah awesomely plays [Applause] yeah first one down the center and then the last one on the line he does go for somehow rager sean's doesn't he's a real extrovert yeah but that's what's makes it's so entertaining to us solutely absolutely to the Mackay minutes walk through with an eight-point advantage you have only had five minutes of play [Music] [Music] they were the number one seats lost yet his pair from Indonesia and withdrew before arriving here in Paris 20 seconds [Music] bleh service over him could smash 11 Oh he was trying to do a Kevin they're jumping for the straight one but really well played by Shetty he saw it straight away and then just blocked it out of reach [Applause] 12/5 start over [Applause] six you know Morton it it's somehow bothered me when at the start of match you said that this Indian pair like to play fast and so on because I thought well they're going to try and play their opponents that's the Indonesian zone game which is lightning quick flat exchanges and I honestly don't think that the Indian pair as good as the Indonesians at the at the fast game so they've got to play something different surely they've got to play to alien to their normal game yes I do agree with you in many ways of what you're saying but can they do it that's the question that's the question and probably you know being 20 years of age or 18 years of age you know you got you got one game plan you've got the game a and then you go for it and that's it so I doubt they have a plan B now four points in it so plan a isn't doing too badly is it no but that's what I said if if the Indonesians are not really completely on top of their game it can be very exciting match are they on top of the game they will win it just right [Music] well that have been a very good little spell for the Indian combination six of the last seven points prior to that last rally strings gone like it so she Raj Chetty didn't play last week in dem up this men's doubles Paris o or ank you ready he was playing mixed doubles in loser yes I was actually wondering why they were not playing men Star Wars but never found the answer no [Music] b9 sixteen nine oh I would that's a good neck shot and it's not the only time he's done it 79 and it's really interesting because normally we see the two Indonesian lines they're flat out in the attack but somehow they're sitting back a bit and waiting but I think they are expecting to get these mistakes from the Indians and they were pretty close and then they made what five mistakes six and six in a row yeah just like that moti to lands away from the opening game [Applause] 10:19 I find a bit of trickery which didn't work oh dear service era 2014 earlier no era game point opportunities service over 11 wins I always the showman [Applause] Oh finds the line and the opening game 2112 to the world number one who's Marcus finale Gideon and Kevin Sanjaya shot the wall Neal just 14 minutes for the opening game what a contrast and what his doubles were just seen not quite the longest spur had last running of the opening game [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] well not much said by coach REO norm Abbott middle nut no need to say much I don't think there have been very much in control of this first game and they can only be happy with the way it's going no need to make any changes to that 20 seconds bench audience here thanking her as the players returned to court I can tell you that the only pair from India over to win the men's doubles title here was 35 years ago Ganguly and Vikram Singh play Vikram Singh married Madhumita bish was one of the coaches what year was that that was 1980s sorry I played them I have played them in men's doubles once there you go Ganguly was such a fun guy [Music] technique Feroz don't you lady challenges calls out that's the first challenge this men's doubles semi-final [Applause] good challenge [Applause] Savas over to one play oh good flicks great from subtle syurash [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] studies down where chef take home the defense a lot of very good starts to the second game what my ranking ready in Shetty longest rally so far forty-two shots service over to fire [Applause] gosh spins when and horizontal I like the strings yes went many strings went it is a good start for six the Indian combination here and I sense that if tsukumo do and Gillian is not on top of the situation it might run away from them they have to be a bit careful here [Applause] from Gideon around my head smash yeah the good thing about that any reply would have gone into the forehand I first took a more yar our heads interception of the flat Drive and he plays it cross-court for an outlying winner that's so amazing the timing on that shot must be incredible not yeah he's doing it to perfection didn't get the chance to see it [Applause] 7:5 and I think the big difference in the second game here is that the Indian combination is standing lot much stronger in their defense [Applause] got deflected by hitting the top of the tape service fault called hi - hi game called on Sherrod Shetty 7 I say is junk Kristoff Oswald I left processor there then it's wrapped in the air out of frustration idiot I think the patient paid off in the in the first game but I'm not sure it's going to pay off in the second game because the two youngsters they're kind of getting into a rhythm now they are settling in and they are not making the same kind of mistakes as what they did in the first game and I just said that and he almost hit the carpet thank you [Music] can't afford to hit hit loose at the front of the court like that because of kamale oh I'll just step in for those feet of it back level 9 all know that this shot here is really really not very good it's a shot in between of everything and of course when Kevin is as quick as he is it's no trouble to him mr. oh well it was called a super ball Joe challenges call e so I'm not surprised as a challenge I instinctively thought that was wide what did you think water once again I can't see it yeah yeah well white colleague son asked so to the mid-game interval xi lying on the run into all four straight points for there was something there from and tanking her about go high on the cross one [Music] assuming a defensive shot a little bit more height 11:9 play yeah breaks the run opponents fine later [Applause] [Music] [Applause] eleven Oh oh that was a good shot yeah wonderful reactions in Shetty [Applause] well eleven steepness of that final shot from Super Mario [Applause] well in front of them you have to say that Kevin Super Mario is making this pair extraordinary they used to say in tennis in our era that John McEnroe with anyone would be world number one and I'm wondering whether it's a similar scenario that Kevin Sanjaya tsukumo leo is just so far so outside I don't mean that as any disrespect whatsoever to Gideon because he's a fine player he wouldn't want this this particular toilet there's no doubt that anyone who's playing with Kevin will be up there in the factory they would exactly start over 13:40 that's a really good defense by Shetty he tripped but still made it and then the drive defense did you see that as he was going up in the air and about hit the shot real release of the fingers on the handle of the racket it's amazing yeah but that's why you can generate so much pace and power but also have this fantastic many options the earthenware is playing his shots [Applause] [Music] [Applause] nice idea because the obvious shots from runty ready would have been a straight one and of course as you pointed out earlier then it's coming up to some Kamala's for handful and yes that's obviously what gideon is driving at [Applause] 16:40 [Music] [Applause] 15:16 anti I would call a cheap point there's a giant yeah didn't have to work for it at all intercepted a smash at the front of that court you sit and watch in amazement [Applause] 17:16 return 17 yes he did thought it was a super Riley 1870 eighty perfect all challenge Sunday Africa mojo challenges now it certainly wasn't out on the sidelines so the only one in question is the backline here we go orders walk on sight [Applause] I thought it was closer to the back line than it was the sidelines but still thought it was good like two points away this second game rocky ready and shitty 90 so will he take two quick ones here chop surf yes that's point opportunity 20 much bonds which turn of serve here must get it away from Kevin 20 and we will require extra points sandals a clear two-point margin smash straight down the line towards the forehand side of soup Cavalli and having just survived a match point now Hongki ready and shetty have a game point opportunity to send this the full distance [Applause] once again the Super Mario interception from his round the head position and yet playing cross-court this was more normal but still very well placed [Applause] 2:21 second game joint opportunity the alien monsters [Applause] [Music] [Applause] so now having safe to gain points now rule number ones have a second match point opportunity Oh massive miss it done believe it [Applause] look at the dive here from so primordial dived and gone up all in one movement can you imagine if that one had been in yes leaving it leaving it living on Ark believe it since take Scott to leave it or what a dive here by Kevin sook Amalia what is it Oh so will it be third time lucky [Applause] [Music] 24:23 [Applause] hypnosis is sensational short [Applause] first it just white point to opportunity [Music] [Applause] and this time they convert 2112 Begay 26:24 in the second why laughter they race to an 11-3 leaving that out the game I thought this was in danger of being the really one-sided semi-final not a bit of it forty-two minutes in total for the victory for the world number ones and tomorrow they will contest their eight final this year seven grievious finals they've won the more water record ladders [Applause] [Applause] next one its second day that [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] convenience convenience here a moment to victory relief and delight I think [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music]
