Putting together all the eight semi-finalist of the two zones, we can see them in a better perspective how the eight players compare to each other in the 1st leg. The point to note is that the finalists will obviously play more sets than the semi-finalists.
One of the traits of a top player is his steadiness which can be correlated to low % of points loss compare to points won. (See row 6). This can be interpreted as the player has lesser unforced errors and are generally playing a "steady" game throughout.
Liew Xuan has the lowest % Points Loss / Points Won @ 69% and it is no coincidence as he is in top form upsetting Chia Jeng Hon in the Zone B final.
Although Anson Cheong had good statistics on paper but yet he bowed out in the semi-final against Kenny Khiew of Selangor. Perhaps he had a bad game against Kenny or had a mental glich. Be that as it may, a player has to make it count when it matters most. You can see why Aaron's game is erratic and it reflects in the statistics.

You can see from the Average Points Loss per set, the difference between Derrick Eng and Goh Boon Zhe is only 3 points difference. Every point loss is rather significant to the game. For just 3 points per set on average, it means you are either a champion or ended up a semi finalist.
