And then they won. Must say, quite disappointing from Hoki and Kobayashi. Very many errors, both yesterday and today. I don't think their mental game is anywhere close to where it should be. Congratulations to the INA pair! I don't know about INA players much, but I guess I'm rooting for them now Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk
HokiKobayashi will have sleepless nights now. Seeing how they squandered leads against MAS pair and Momentum against ENG pair, its coming!
Damn we really about to see 4 INA MD in the SF lol I gotta admit though this is probably the weakest era in MD, no threat from CHN or KOR like it used to be
I kinda want Ahsan/Setiawan to go to the final and win now, just so Ahsan can say he won All England with one leg.
What a match.....Mohd Shohibul Fikri/Bagas Maulana saved 3 match pts at 17-20 and won 5 pts in a row to beat the current World Champions Takuro Hoki/Yugo Kobayashi 16-21, 21-16, 22-20! They have really improved a lot in recent months; and with 8,400 valuable ranking pts, they will rise up to WR23 next week. They will face the top-ranked Minions for a place in the Final! Remember, they beat their seniors in another tight-match at the Denmark Open 2021! I actually hope they can beat the lack-lustre Minions tomorrow. As for Fajar/Rian, they can be split really....not much improvement since their display at the Thomas Cup Finals.
INA has different kind of players. with Minions who have speed and not so tall while FikriBagas is just monster (with more to come)
The Daddies also secure their spot in the SF, after a straight-set victory over Kim Astrup/Anders Skaarup Rasmussen 21-15, 22-20. They will face either He Ji Ting/Tan Qiang or their juniors Leo Rolly Carnando/Daniel Marthin for a place in the Final. Chance of an All-Indonesia Final is bright indeed!
Looks like it'll be an all Indo MD semis. I don't see chinese pair beating Leo/Daniel Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
why not? At peak age of 24 this year, they should be at their best power. So HeTan masterclass by beating 3 INAs to win the title?
Is the upset by Treesa-Gayathri the greatest upset in All England history? This pair started playing world tour this year itself and are playing a tournament with this much competition for the first time.
Yeah i think so. I think its crazier upset than the Guatemala guy playing in BronzeMedal match in Olympic.
