They defeated the olympic champions,. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.. They fully deserved it... Wow.. Congrats.. They made my day...
the way they played, with liliyana so focused and decisive at the net while tontowi fast and hardworking with his thundering (and accurate) attack at the back. i don't think any pair can beat them. and good English from both.
YESSSS!!!! Tontowi Ahmad/Liliyana Natsir retain their All-England crown after a convincing 21-13, 21-17 victory over the reigning World and Olympic champions Zhang Nan/Zhao Yunlei. What a match to win! As Gillian Clark mentioned, the INA pair simply didn't allow the CHN pair to play their normal game. Liliyana Natsir was immense, while Tontowi was incredibly calm today, attacking the CHN pair relentlessly and made very very few errors. The INA pair only looked slightly nervy during the last few pts and that allowed the CHN pair to narrow the gap. It has been a successful AE for the new PBSI!
after Zheng Bo / Gao Ling, Liliyana Natsir / Tantowi Ahmed becomes the 2nd pair to win consecutive All England mixed doubles title.
