definitely they can but they dont look in top physical form. Hasnt been for a while especially in 3 games battle they recently got trashed by LaneVendy. A lot of taping on Chia body does worry me at only 25 years old. Had it gone to 3rd game i think Korean gonna win.
I hope Aaron Chia/Soh Wooi Yik can repeat their CWG Team Event Final performance when they destroyed Satwiksairaj Rankireddy/Chirag Shetty in straight-sets. A final against the MAS would be an easier prospect for Fajar Alfian/Mohd Rian Ardianto, whom I think will beat the Daddies. Another WC Medal for the Daddies Hendra Setiawan Mohd Ahsan is already a tremendous enough achievement at such an advanced age!
I would love to see hendra get his 5th gold at the WC but tbh deep down I want fajar/rian to win it, INA been relying on hendra greatness since 2007.
Malaysian pair has 5-0 against Satwik / chirag. I don't know about Tomorrow. In world Championships anything can happen. Fingers crossed.
What ? that can't be true... Then again I believe minions lost their 1st ever match chia/soh at the olympics so yeah anything can happen.
wow didnt expect this. Its unfortunate they havent won any title in their career and especially this year, lots of semifinals and quite consistent. Their 1st title could be their biggest yet. I guess things are beautiful in its times if its meant to be wkwk.
I still can't believe lee/wang turned into prime cai/fu at the olympics smh, they really look like the ordinary pair they are since that event. on normal occassion hendra should really be the 2 times olympics champion right now...
That’s exactly why ppl were blaming the coaches for not fielding them against satwik/shetty in the thomas cup
I agree having met Fajar twice I love his down to earth nature he does deserve to be in the prestigious list of WC Medalists. To Ahsan/Hendra I mean I dont have to say anything Hendra a GOAT for me and Ahsan a great player just wish he had won that olympic medal he was missing in his cabinet to enter the legends club..I remember seeing him almost in tears after he lost to aron soh...Regardless this pair has greatness all over them and WC/OLY medalists dont need anyone's approval they are already the best in the world..First time excited to see INA vs INA tomorrow !! May the best win
Do I neee to remind you that they are one of the best in the world ? They are OLYMPIC BRONZE MEDALISTS if you dont know and now they are the WC Medalists so basically they have the two biggest Medals of Badminton world and they can upset anyone on any given day. I wont be surprised if they won Gold cause they can but yeah Aron had a lot of strapping so I dunno about the fitness level but tactically and skills wise they are one of the best.
I agree, I haven’t seen anything like Lee/Wang before,,, they turned into unbeatable mode as the stage progress: all out-attack-smash-drive-super fast 100% consistently… they played their best game of their life during olympics 2021 Of course I’m disappointed that no medals for ahsan/setiawan Tokyo 2021… but I think I was even more disappointed that they lost in group stage it in Rio2016 But all asides, the statistics speak for themselves: gold in 3x WC, 1AG, 2 AE and many many many SS/WT/WTF, etc., and also in terms of “gameplay-legacy” I think they make the terms “the first 3 shots” in MD become more popular and the most important aspect in the discipline Also the fact that they still dominating in their mid/late 30’s —> Ahsan/Setiawan is the all-time Ina’s MD’s Great
Any of the 4 MD pairs can win although Fajar / Rian are definitely the favourites. The INA pairs will definitely prefer to have Aaron/Soh in the final.
