Tay handily defeated Ching 6-2, 6-1 yesterday morning, in the final of the SS Open at the NUS Sports and Recreational Center.
Facing a quiet crowd estimated at one, Tay capitalized on Ching's characteristic poor serving, and numerous unforced errors to break all of Ching's service games. Towards the end of the match, Ching repeatedly charged the net, evoking images of Patrick Rafter, and entertained the crowd with several pleasing volleys (and grunts). Alas to no avail.
In the post match conference, Ching remarked, "I graciously accept defeat. However, I yearn for a rematch."
Tay replied with a shocking lack of sportsmanship, "It can only get worse for you. *%$^ I give you too much room and time to play your shots. Once I get my service game in play and normal shots, you'll be crushed."
The rematch would be at the Bishan Open, on Thursday, 13th Sep.

good thing you didn't schedule the SS open or Bishan open on the same day as Federer-Djokovic...we wouldn't want the US open to suffer a loss of viewership.

what im really curious about is how Ching managed to win 3 games against Tay. Tay, what happened?

the match reporting was obviously skewed.
ching actually performed above himself, making many spectacular shots in the process but ultimately still lost due to various inadequacies in departments other than power...
Tay doesnt break sweat as Ching finds himself outclassed. Controversy dogged the champion, as he was accused by the hapless Ching of being ungracious in his post-match interview. Tay said it was a misunderstanding when Ching heard him say it was "easy shit". What he meant was "Ching is shit"
Following a News of The World report that Ching had falsified the match report, Ching had this to say, "When the seamen toss the fish overboard, the seagulls follow."
