Minions era are over!!! herry ip need to split them up Bagas/fikri are clearly the best INA youngsters right now, bagas are more dependable than rian who always crumble under pressure
I would love ahsan/hendra to get their 3rd title here but an AE title could be the turning point for bagas/fikri
Wow what can i say! From the way they play, they deserve it! This isnt like how Endo play. This is beating Kevin at his own game. coming of age of FikriMaulana.. this pair looks like LiLiu and ShettyRR but just so much more agile. Its not so easy playing this round the head when he is as tall as Fikri. and that shadow return from Kevin i think its shot of the tournament jesus didnt even see his racket!
Idk how indonesia keep producing this great front court player, what fikri did to kevin today was simply amazing...it's like I'm watching fajar lol I really like how both of them are so calm under pressure, if this is rian he would gave kevin/gideon 5 free points at 19-16.
Man HokiKoba vs Minions 3 Finals in a row in Bali and FikriMaulana just brush them aside like they arent there wkwkwk out you go. thats why MD is exciting so much upsets.
yeah. His anticipation for that shot is outrageous and his perfection in returning that shot is even mind blowing.
If you look at how ShettyRR plays , nothing more exemplary than the play of the day. Shetty should have challenge Kevin more in front but instead they just push the shuttle to the back. you dont see that in Fikri and they just play close quarter badminton and that makes great match. In fact i feel like many of the times Minions are under pressure and has to give up the initiatives.
Amazing display by Mohd Shohibul Fikri/Bagas Maulana in progressing to their first Super 1000 Final after beating the top-seeded Minions. As I wrote yesterday, I prefer the youngsters to win so that their confidence can increase and win they did! Their performance is so much better than Leo/Daniel against He/Tan. Leo was totally dominated at the net in the second and third-sets, while Daniel smashed and smashed and lost the points. The Minions and Rian/Fajar can both be split. I am also hesitant about the progress of Leo/Daniel. So far, Fikri/Bagas and Pram/Yere are promising!
Maybe because shetty knows he couldn't handle kevin out there, fikri know he's good and the fact that he's being able to practice with kevin every day certainly helps.
Love to see this new generation of fast and furious MD, for sure they need some title and consistency otherwise it's just a fleeting spark btw, forget about fajar and rian, they completely wither before growing
