Yes! Finally! Minions took it in straight games. 21-18 24-22 Quite a fight from Goh/Tan. But not enough. (They could have kept targeting Marcus and it might have turned out differently..)
Some of the defense from kevin in this match was just amazing. there's smash from goh v shem basically from the middle of the court and he still got it back with some quality, and that behind the back in the first game.... Hopefully gideon could play better tomorrow, still too many errors for his standard.
Yeah, minions won. Today, INA is lucky compare to the last two days. Just 2 reps in SF and both reach final. Meanwhile, MAS will only send 1 rep in Final.
Yeah.. fuhh.. I can breathe normally again. When Marcus broke his strings at 20-19, I was getting more wary. But fortunately, it went okay in the end.
True, idk why they targeting kevin when he's defending so well. and they should actually keep flicking to gideon, it works well for them most of the time.
I think overall Malaysia is still pleased with the result in this tournament. WS, MS and MD went above expectations. Good job to the Malaysian team
if MAS md can’t beat the minions, at least go beat their compatriots Fajar/Rian, Wahyu/Ade, Ahsan/Setiawan, Berry/Hardianto...
She's young. Give her some time. At least she reached SF which no one would have thought. I'm sure she'll get better in future.
Good to see goh/tan playing well again though, I like the fact that they're playing positive badminton again and not just being passive most of the time. their flat game is really good. service mistakes and lack of focus were one of the reason they lost this match, they were leading most of the time in both game. kevin playing like a beast didn't help them either.
