Nightmares

The third game has just begun. Antonsen still holds the ball for service. Antonsen's short serve ball headed for Ginting and was returned cross-crossed in front. Antonsen could easily pick it up and return the ball a bit high to the back. Ginting tries to do jumping smash but with power that is not optimal. The ball was successfully intercepted Antonsen and returned by hitting the net and rolling down the field Ginting. Ginting does not move because the ball is difficult to predict due to hit the net.

Score 1 - 0 for Antonsen.

Although not as crowded as the previous match, the audience still sang encouraging yel-yel for Ginting. While Rey and Nay just sat pensively hoping there was a change from the game Ginting.

The ball continues to roll from one side of the field to the other. Ginting seemed to be trying to re-take his mainstay. Several times it seems to be successful but not perfect and almost Antonsen dead step and fooled, but although with difficulty Antonsen able to restore the ball ginting even though his feet like to serenity and fall. At that time Rey really hoped the Ginting technique worked and made him stand up from sitting down and yelling encouraging the Idol.

Antonsen scores are growing thanks to its sharp smash and accurate placement. But not only that, the score was also contributed by half of the dead balls from Ginting's own mistakes. Ginting score slightly increased that obtained from luck like the ball hit the net and a little mistake from Antonsen.

Temporary score of 10 - 6 for Antonsen excellence.

Rey and Nay's face look unhappy because the score difference seems far adrift.

One more point for Antonsen to pause and change the field. And then he got closer to victory.

Impatiently Antonsen served. When viewed from before, Antonsen never once competed using a service flick. But this time trying a service flick hoping Ginting doesn't expect it at all.

Ginting was surprised the Antonsen service ball shot far back. He banged his body backwards almost like a beautiful gymnast. Fortunately the ball can still be reached and returned with a little responsibility because the ball is difficult to return. Antonsen of course felt this was his chance to do a jumping smash. With full force he did a jumping smash and headed towards the empty area of Ginting's right edge. The ball sped quickly, but Ginting managed to return it with great difficulty and stagger. The ball was again struck by Antonsen to the left of the field Ginting, and again - again Ginting seen the hassle of taking the ball until it rolled on the field to be able to reach the ball. Antonsen like being in the wind because the return ball Ginting is very responsible. With the burning spirit of Antonsen is ready to finish the middle of this third game perfectly.

The ball is very responsible of Ginting grabbed Antonsen and shot to the body Ginting. With the position still sitting in the field ginting, Ginting can only protect his body with a racket, Ginting, and it was unexpected that the ball from Antonsen hit the Ginting racket and returned carelessly to the Antonsen left arak and fell right on the inner white line.

The line judge declared in and Antonsen felt the ball go out and pass the inner white line. He asked for his first challenge in this third game.

"Unsuccsefull challenge ! one challenge keeping !" It looks hawk eye technology shows the ball touches the white line thinly, it deserves Antonsen feel doubt and ask for a challenge.

Now Antonsen has only one more chance to ask for a challenge, because the first one has failed.

Score 7 - 10, and the match still continues without having to move the field.

Finally the ball was held back Ginting. He was serving, and it looked like several times he was shaking his wrist like something was wrong. Ginting served and Nay squinted his eyes trying to see Ginting's hand more clearly.

"Danger !"

Rey turned to look at Nay because she was shocked by his words. His face looked worried. Rey was about to ask Nay however, but Nay had already returned to speaking.

"Danger, Ginting's hand looked trembling !"

Rey clenched her hands and immediately let out a cold sweat. He felt something bad was coming, and he felt unprepared for it.
