I don't know the real statistic but i'm sure 90% of minions winners came from kevin's racket. he didn't play that well in the third game compared to the first 2 set but what can he do ? Gideon's attack can't penetrate the japanese defense, not enough variation too, not too mention his bad defense and errors, the pressure is just too much on kevin. It's harsh but this loss was on gideon yet again. Kevin was the only reason they can even stole 1 game from yuta/endo.
But its Kevin that isnt mature enough. Partner can have bad game. Should be there in good and bad times. I dont think Kevin can find better partner than Markus and if he did he will be the older partner.
It's still open as to who might win. Sure, they'll thank EndoWatanabe for a potentially easy game in finals but if they lose to LeeWang, then I'd say title is 80-20 in favour of JPN as LeeWang lost quite badly to the Japanese pair in previous meeting.
Was too sad to watch that MD third rubber set. really sad about any less-than-positive vibes will be cheering for daddies later, for both their play skills and great working relationship
Lol. nooo. Okay I should make myself more clear then. I want to see him do all the antiques and be cheeky on court!!!!!!
Their communication is really bad. G1 hasnt even finish and they already not talking to each other. I think HK defeat did them in. Kevin behaving like bad egg. I m saying even if he loss, sometimes there is nothing to do about it and just gotta accept it LiLiu lost even worst yesterday , did 1 of the partner act like a bad egg. and Minions are feeling how LiLiu feels everytime they lost to them. Its just that EndoW has only converted 1/4
I don't see Marcus is mature enough either despite being the older and more experienced of the two. Can't even support his supposedly "junior" partner. He is the one with one extra title you always brag about.
I mean mentally. Body language and all. He looked fine or even when they lost to Li/Liu badly G2 in the first match. Here even only after G1 he looked dejected as if his wife had left him.
Just messing with you, sorry. There's "antics", which is what you mean, and there's "antiques", as in the picture above. I'll stop now.
Ah yeah sorry. Now I know what you meant. Well I used different spelling as people can be sensitive about "antics" here. Especially from Kevin. Didn't get to see it today, oh well. Maybe next time.
