All the seeded pairs saved their lives except Barnadeth/kido.... Well I wanted MM/KH to win.... What a second set for ma/xu...
Kevin stood out because his shots are difficult to predict. Of all the current under 25 years old INA doubles players, I think only Kevin, Jordan and Agripinna who often executed tricky shots. Although many others men doubles INA players have good power. Kevin also seems to move around a lot and quite fast, like Gideon. He is an all-rounder. Meanwhile, INA women doubles lack players who are standing out although many current young players have good court coverage, wide-range shots. As for India Men singles, Sourabh struggled against even Sattawat, not really outstanding play. I thought he was playing much better against Simon a few months ago in Malaysia GPG(watched on TV).

That's what it seemed to me aswell. They're complaining that one of the guys purposely used flash to distract them.
Well, that's not very nice if what he complained about is true. Btw, Zhang/Zhao lost and ZN threw his racket in frustration then left the court right away.
Not sure if the camera man was doing it on purpose, but if there was indeed flash, usually the chairman is supposed to tell the audience NOT to use flash during the match. At the end, the Indonesian player did a rare drive serve, which caught ZN off guard. ZN then was claiming that it was too high.
OMG!!! Could anyone tell me what's happen on 12-13 and 20-21 when the Indonesian got a score, and the Chinese complained something to umpire.
Yeah Zhang Nan seemed so angry. While am v happy that Kevin/Polii prevailed, that camera flash incident is not very nice if it is true. But on a side note, I think both Kevin and Polii played very well.
Zhang Nan was complaining that a guy in the audience was purposely using flash from his camera to distract them when the score was 20-21. I don't know what happened on 12-13.
If the camera flash incdient is true, they should warn the audience not to use their camera flash. Yet, I hear no such warning, be it in English or Indonesian. ZN's act of throwing his racket after his loss is pathetic anw, though it comes to no surpise given his childish attitude (remember WC 2013 against Tontowi/Liliyana)
In the stadium, they employed sales promotion girls to carry big board with sign of no flash allowed. Announcement were made time to time. Some fans were warned by securities guard. It is regrettable of such incident but can't blame the organisers. They did their best to prevent it
