Huang & Zheng are victorious in Jakarta
"Indonesia International Junior Championships", an ITF Grade 2 tourney eventually ended today at Kemayoran Tennis Center. As per request of several players who had to catch flight to Bangkok, Thailand at 4 pm, the referee agreed to hold three finals of boys' singles, girls' singles and girls' doubles simultaneously.
Second seed Huang Liang-Chi of Chinese Taipei played his typical game with solid consistency from the baseline against third seed German Dominik Schulz in boys' singles final. It was pretty much a close battle between the two players particularly in the opening set. In the end Huang could prevail with 6-4, 6-3 victory and gave himself an early birthday present as he would turn 17 years old tomorrow (March 8, 2009). A familiar face for Indonesian players, Huang had played 5 tourneys in Indonesia prior to his participation here at Jakarta Grade 2 this week. He could not be happier as he made a breakthrough in claiming his first ever singles title of his career here.
Meanwhile, a fairytale continued with happy ending when qualifier Zheng Sai Sai of Shenzhen, China grabbed the second title of her junior career after ITF Grade 4 in Surabaya last year. Zheng managed to beat eighth seed Juan Ting-Fei of Chinese Taipei 7-5, 6-2 and denied her opponent to earn third title after Brunei and Chinese Taipei. In the opening set Zheng quickly secured 4 games in a row. In the 4th game, Juan made a terrible mistake when she served two double faults, but then she broke back to be on board, 1-4. Juan kept on fighting and forced to tie at 4 all when Zheng began to spray errors from her racquet. During the match, Zheng was smarter in executing her pace by mixing many high-bounced top spins and lobs at the same time. On the other hand, despite Juan's solid groundstrokes especially her forehand and one-handed backhand, she made costly problems in terms of shot selection. Zheng fought back to lead 5-4, then Juan held her serve to level it up 5 all. From then on, Zheng kept the ball in play and kept on retrieving balls till she closed it out 7-5. In the second set, Zheng did not waste her time to lead 5-1, 5-2 and finally, when Juan shot her forehand wide, Zheng looked so relief as she won 6-2. Nevertheless, it is fine to say that the "real final" was in the opening round when Zheng pushed seventh seed Grace Sari Ysidora to the limits and eventually defeated local fave Batak girl, 5-7, 6-3, 7-6(1).
In the whole match Zheng posted 83% first serve percentage, 14 winners and 40 unforced errors, while Juan made 72% first serve percentage, 4 double faults, 15 winners, 50 unforced errors. With this new title, Zheng's rank will jump from current ITF 517 to top 250s.
In boys' doubles final, third seed pair Huang Liang-Chi/Vaidik Munshaw (Chinese Taipei/India) came from behind to beat fourth seed duo Samuel Barry/Zachary White (Ireland/Canada) 2-6, 6-3, 10-5. Huang added his 7th doubles' title of his junior career now and today's title is his 3rd title on Indonesian soil. While Munshaw is now collecting total of four doubles' titles after two from ITF Grade 5 Pakistan and one from ITF Grade 5 Sri Lanka last year.
In girls' doubles final, top seed duo Beatrice Gumulya/Kanyapat Narattana (Indonesia/Thailand) edged past Dong Xiaorong/Yang Zhaoxuan of China 7-6(1), 6-2. In their fourth time doubles' partnership, here Gumulya/Narattana claimed their second title together as a pair after "Optus Nottinghill International", an ITF Grade 1 tourney in Nottinghill, Victoria, Australia right before Aussie Open 2009.

Zheng's amazing race continues
Top seed in qualifying and got through into main draw, 15 years old Zheng Sai Sai of China has been in good form and she is remaking her "amazing race" like at ITF Grade 4 tourney in Surabaya last November when she went all the way from qualifying to be the champion. In today's semi-final she defeated sixth seed Katherine Westbury of New Zealand 6-4, 6-3. By reaching final here at ITF Grade 2 tourney now entitled "Indonesia International Junior Championships", she is indeed stunning as she is only playing her fifth tourney of her career and her first time of entering ITF Grade 2. It will be her third final appearance after Surabaya last November and Hong Kong ITF Grade 5 last January then she is surely aiming big for taking the second career title tomorrow.
En route to final, Zheng has eliminated three seeds such as (7) Grace Sari Ysidora, (4) Natchanok Saenyaukhot and today (6) Katherine Westbury. In the final, Zheng will challenge eighth seed Juan Ting-Fei of Chinese Taipei. In the other last four round battle, Juan ruined local last hope, unseed Laili Rahmawati Ulfa 6-2, 6-2. Same as her opponent, Juan will taste her maiden ITF Grade 2 final tomorrow. Now, Juan is leading 2-0 against Rahmawati. In their first meeting at ITF Grade 4 in Brunei last year, Juan barely defeated Rahmawati 7-5, 7-6(4). Juan will try to claim her third career title after she collected two titles of ITF Grade 4 tourneys in Brunei and her home country. I am not surprised to know that Juan is in the final. After all, she finished in round 16 at "Loy Yang Power Traralgon International" last January, an ITF Grade 1 tourney held in Victoria, Australia. Will she be another winner from Chinese Taipei after Chan Yung-Jan and Hsu Wen-Hsin here in the capital of endless traffic-jams or will China's Great Wall Zheng follow the path of Zhou Yi-Miao of China?
In the boys' singles, semi-finals featured the battle of second seed Huang Liang-Chi from Chinese Taipei who overcame fierce challenge from fourth seed Austrian Maximilian Neuchrist 6-4, 7-6(4). Huang's final tomorrow will be his second ITF Grade 2 final appearance as he did it last July in South Africa. Meanwhile, Huang's best outcome of his career was earned at "Osaka Mayor's Cup" an ITF Grade A tourney in Osaka, Japan last October when he finished as quarter-finalist.
Huang will clash with third seed Dominik Schulz of Germany in the final. A Munich resident, Schulz edged out unseed Canadian Zachary White 6-3, 6-2 in the other last four round match. Schulz is eyeing for his second title of ITF Grade 2 level as he won his first one in Spain almost a year ago. This German lefty yet hitting two-handed backhand achieved his best performance of his career as semi-finalist at "Optus Nottinghill International" another ITF Grade 1 tourney held in Glen Waverley, Victoria, Australia last January.
Semi-finals - Results of Boys' Doubles & Girls' Doubles:
(4) Samuel Barry/Zachary White (IRL/CAN) d (1) Maximilian Neuchrist/Dominik Schulz (AUT/GER) 6-4, 4-6, 10-8

Top seeds Hsieh and Gumulya crashed out
Top seeds in boys’ singles and girls’ singles, Hsieh Cheng-Peng of Chinese Taipei and numero uno local player, Beatrice Gumulya crashed out in the quarter-final today. Hsieh, younger brother of Hsieh Su-Wei, was forced to fight hard against Canadian Zachary White. He barely won the opening set 6-4, but then White stormed back to secure the two remaining sets 6-3, 6-1. This Canadian boy will be the only unseeded player to appear in the semi-finals.
The other semi-finalists are second seed Huang Liang-Chi from Chinese Taipei, third seed Dominik Schulz of Germany, and fourth seed Maximilian Neuchrist from Austria. Huang had an easy match and won over Egyptian Ahmed Al Bitar 6-1, 6-2. German Schulz came from behind to beat seventh seed Sudanwa Sitaram from India 6-7(4), 7-6(3), 6-3. While Austrian Neuchrist tarnished the last local hope, eighth seed David Agung Susanto as he won straight sets, 6-4, 6-1.
No accident to witness the exit of Beatrice Gumulya, younger sister of Sandy Gumulya, as she had the same defeat as Hsieh. The curse for younger siblings of active women players really came true. With such different situation, younger Gumulya looked under pressure as she would have been expected by her boss or “Big Mama”, coaches as well as parents to take the title here. Meanwhile, eighth seed Juan Ting-Fei of Chinese Taipei played quite well complemented with sound strategy in gunning down last year runner-up, Gumulya. Juan did not have much trouble to defeat Gumulya 6-2, 6-1.
Juan’s recent good performance was at “Loy Yang Power Traralgon International”, an ITF Grade 1 tourney in Victoria, Australia last January when she finished in round 16. Last season Juan grabbed two titles from ITF Grade 4 tournaments in Brunei and her home country. In semi-final, Juan will face a kind of surprise semifinalist, local unseeded player Laili Rahmawati Ulfa. Rahmawati Ulfa did not have to appear on the court as her fifth seed opponent, Kyra Shroff of India gave her walk over win due to her illness. For both Juan and Rahmawati Ulfa, it is their first ever last four round in ITF Grade 2 tourney. In terms of head to head, Juan still leads 1-0 over Rahmawati Ulfa. In their clash at ITF Grade 4 tourney in Brunei a year ago, Juan just barely defeated Wonogiri country girl 7-5, 7-6(4).
The sole qualifier left in the main draw and “Chinese Great Wall” Zheng Sai Sai continued her campaign by ousting experienced fourth seed Thai Natchanok Saenyaukhot 6-3, 7-5. In Zheng’s biggest achievement ever in the last four of ITF Grade 2 tourney, she will challenge talented New Zealander and sixth seed Katherine Westbury. A Thai descendant, Westbury outclassed Indian Ashvarya Shrivastava 6-2, 6-4.

Two Indian girls, fifth seed Kyra Shroff and unseeded Ashvarya Shrivastava had to go extra miles before they prevailed as winners in today's second round of "Indonesia International Junior Championships" at rusty Kemayoran Tennis Center, Jakarta.

Eight seed Juan Ting-Fei still managed to move into quarter-final as she defeated Yang Zi of China 6-3, 6-4. Other unseeded players also secured their places in the quarter-final. "Tomboy" yet "Chinese Great Wall" Zheng Sai Sai continued her run by disposing local wild card Aldila Sutjiadi 6-1, 6-2, then another local "tomboy" Laili Rahmawati Ulfa surprised herself to keep local fans' hope with top seed Gumulya after she barely outclassed tough duel with hard hitter Floridian Jade Frampton 7-5, 6-4.
