Remember also that CW/TG neither played in Danemark nor in France and lost pitifully in first round last week in China. So they must be fresher than KKK/TBH, plus alike my favorites uncle Choong and uncle LEE , they have a lot more experience.
Plus, Tony/Chandra are former OG Champs. When Tony/Chandra won their matches so convincingly 1st 2 rounds and KKK/TBH struggling in 3 sets yesterday, I guessed they wont win today. And they really look fatigued last week in China Open, like want to pengsan. This week, maybe less fatigued, but opponents much more experienced and fresh. Lets see if Tony/Chandra will beat Fu/Cai if they meet in Finals. If they do, it shows that the veterans in top form
KKK/TBH actually played well today. they were aggressive and didn't let down their guards. however, Tony/Candra simply played better and was able to keep on pressure on 2nd/3rd games. KKK/TBH lost to the better pair of the day.
Saw the whole match. KKK/TBH were really trying their best. TG and CW were simply not up tot he pace that KKK/TBH set in the 1st set. Then TG/CW got used to the speed of play and managed to turn it around. There was lots of attacking play. The crowd was getting into the game with lots of umm and ahhs. TG/CW put in a very good performance.
Yup, agreed with the comments by Cheung and kwun. We thought that Koo/Tan will wrap it up in straight-sets given their fast and furious display in the first set, but, the veterans decided to slug it out and put on their attacking mode from the second set onwards. There were many interesting and long rallies with many smashes which really entertained the crowds. Tony/Candra were impressive in the second and third set as they turned the table on the MAS pair who simply couldn't cope with the attacks at some point in time and made more errors. A very interesting match indeed.
KKK/TBH had all praise for TG/CW. Yes they were dissapointed with their lost and they knew that they failed in some strategy in the end. However both of them know this is a lesson learned. Rexy however was not all happy about it. But at the same time he know that TG/CW played a much better game in the second half. Candra said that they didnt manage to cope with the Msian's speed at first. But both of them forced KKK/TBH to play their game and at the same time slug it all out with the Msians. And they prevailed in the end.
r they God that they can't afford to lose no matter what?..that u guys have to blame them n critic them harshly? I'm not a KKK/TBH fans,but let's just understand when a player lost or something.Have some respect or put urself in his position..what would u feel?
i think for anyone who plays badminton a few times a week be it professionally or socially will know the meaning of form. sometimes, when you are not on form, not matter how hard you play, you will lose. There are also times when your form are only so-so, but you will still win when your opponents are not on form. Needless to say, when you are on form, you can do wonders. When you are on form, you can save a few games points and force duece and then wrap up the game. When you are not on form, even if you have 4 or 3 games points, you still could not convert. what i am trying to say here is professional players too have form. TG/CW are definitely on form today. Bravo to TG/CW.
KOO/TAN played a wrong tactically games, they were not as offensively as before, instead they let the legends attacked at them , hopes for some mistakes. Which is very unlikely to happen for an experince pair..
The Malaysian coach already said in early 2007 that opponents will start analysing KKK/TBH game. Give this young pair sometime, they will mature and get better. Its the same as Gao Ling/ Zheng Bo (pairing about same time as KKK/TBH) who loses less frequently, which I think is down to Gao Ling vast experience.
Hmm, i'd love.. ..to see this match...It sounds interesting as it was Tony's & Candra's first win over the younger M'sians in quite some time... Anyway, we shall wait for Pemuda to come in here & give us another round of.........you guys know what...
what i saw in the highlights of rtm 2 is that kkk/tbh are keep defending, at the end kena smash kao kao lor..
Same here. Would really like to watch this match. I find it a bit difficult to grasp the comments from Kwun, Cheung and badMania after seeing the final score being very one sided. Hope to download and watch the video soon. As for our dear Pemuda, nah, he won't do it here. He will wait till LCW losing in either sf or f and create a new thread to shoot them all in one go.
Coming from Kwun and Cheung,KKK/TBH lost to a better pair.Moreover there lots of umms and aahs from the crowd.This is really good as it will attract more to badminton.Winning and losing is just part of the game.Giving the crowd value for money and time spent is important.
They Are Not Robots!!!!!! All those KKK/TBH critics... Please understand that they are human beings and not robots! Please dont use harsh and stupid words when they lose or perform below par. What happened to them and all other players are normal! Everybody has their off days. This applies to all players not just top players but also every other players. So please once again dont abuse them with harsh words when they have their off days. Please be MORE MATURE and considerate.
