The semifinales of the Thai Polo Open, the most important tournament in South East Asia, will take place on Thursday at Thai Polo & Equestrian Club. After the penalty shootout on Wednesday, the semifinals have been set as follows:
3pm: Axus vs Fast Fish
Brian Xu’s Axus became the first semifinalist of the tournament after winning its two matches (against Thai Polo and Royal Pahang). This team’s success has been mostly due to the balance between the three professionals and DarÃo Musso’s experience and management. They will face a tough opponent in Fast Fish, a team which boats a similar formation structured around three professionals.
4:30pm: La Familia vs Royal Pahang
These two teams also have a very similar structure, with two patrons and two professionals on each side. So far, Royal Pahang’s patrons have shown a good level of polo. However, it will be interesting to watch the face-offs between Fernández Llorente and Bargalló, and Gándara and Andrada.
The Thai Polo Open final is due on Saturday at 4:30pm. The match will be streamed live on Pololine.TV.
