The INA pair really tried their best, I think It's just their quality are too far apart If there is any mistake with the INA pair, it would be either their determination to be better during training (or lifestyle, read: nutrition), or managerial/coaching program
I think the entire Indonesian doubles teams (maybe not the WD) can do with a better nutrition program, Gideon was looking not very fit, seemed a little fat around the tummy actually.
It's not just Lu Kai/Huang lost to Korea pair. It's also Zheng Siwei/Chen Qingchen lost to Watanabe/Higashino at semi-final.
It's pretty crazy that melati outplayed her TWICE in 2 weeks back in 2019 (denmark open & french open) to win the title there
They looked very shaky and like there was miscommunication, after interval it's more consistent from both sides. Standard is still below their usual from THA and JPN, Higashino's attacking hasn't been effective.
