Look for HokiKobayashi turn on the masterclass and beat 3 INA pairs to win the title. Feels like this is their time
The Indian pair missed 5 game points in the first game, had they taken that, then the match would have gone either way. Kevin & Marcus started the game nervously but after winning the first game, they were clenching their fist in the second game. We could have all Indonesian MD in the Semi-final!
Rankireddy and Shetty are good at different things. RR's plus is his big smash. His defence and drive game have never been great but I see he is getting better at it. Chirag's flat game is simply amazing but not so much from the back. When they meet someone who play a flat game better then them, their errors become evident.
Too many amateur mistake from RR, honestly kevin/gideon doesn't impress me at all in this tournament, same old minions...lucky for them endo are already retired.
HokiKoba will beat them and make the H2H 3-11. I always think in Doubles there are so many methods to approach a game yet ShettyRr is 0-11vs Minions. Come on this is not TommySugiarto vs LeeChongwei. Its not like Singles where if you are not good, you are not good.
I want to see Jolly/Pulella win this. It's going to be great to see young pair this good at semifinal.
The taller of the CHN WD pair has a very good attack but seems be very passive in her tactics. Looking at her knee, it might be because of injury.
The India girl smash is so powerful. I have seen this against GreysiaAp its not easy. her smash is strongers than some of MD smash seriously! Biggest upset in history of AllEngland.
2nd seed Lee/Shin from Korea defeated by young IND pair. I like their smashing combo. Very sharp and powerful.
Well done Jolly/Gopichand, saving grace for Indian badminton fans today. Great going girls, keep working.
Teresa is a very good smasher, Gayatri took a game of Tai Tzu ying when she was 16/17 yoe in PBL, both of them are calm minded.
I don't know why the loss of the Korean WD is the biggest upset. It's not like Kevin & Marcus beaten by an unknown pair. The Korean WD, though world no.2 are not that great and are always inconsistent.
IKR, it's racist wether you speak in Bahasa, Hindi, English or any other language in any part of the whole wide World.
