OP08DVD1: Men's Final, Women's Final, Women's Doubles Final

Shibaji had beaten William in a recent Victorian tournament. Can he find the same sort of form in the premier Australian tournament?
WF: Nadine Bollmeier vs Jian Fang Lay - approx 35 minutes
Nadine had taken out local favorite and short pip player Miao Miao in the semis. But how will she fare against the long pip twiddling of Lay?

It's pips vs power as the ladies go at it with no holds barred.
OP08DVD2: Men's Semifinal, Women's Semifinal

This matchup drew one of the biggest crowds of the tournament. Can the silky smooth Datta stop the impressive power game of Han?

Nana had trounced Scott in the teams competition. Does Houston have a problem?
MDF: William Henzell / David Zalcberg vs Kyle Davis / John Tawadrous - approx 21 minutes
Comeback king Tawadrous pairs up with Davis to challenge the reigning champions. It goes all so well for the first game, but two more are needed and the champs aren't going to lie down and die...

Drama, comebacks, upsets, edges on match balls and a bit of humour here and there - it's got the lot! I've also thrown in the teams match between David Powell and William Henzell where David confirms that his Australian Closed success was no fluke, and proves that he will be a force to be reckoned with in Australian table tennis.
