Even if they win I wouldn't be too impressed, this is the same pair that got destroyed by goh/nur and lee/wang.
Satwik and Shetty, I feel their nerves got to them. The Danes manage to keep their composure. That's okay, Satwik and Shetty are still young. They need experience like this. It will help them to become better players.
2 match points saved by Danish pair and then they take the game. Shame. Very lazy play by Indian pair when they were 20-18 up.
I think there is a time like 8 consecutive points from INA… ahsan’s flick serve esp. troubled the Japanese pair
How much young, my friend ? Till how much time should we give them this luxury that "they're young". It's been same thing over and over again. Against minions, against Danish pair today, against some xyz pair in a random tournament. Only Chirag is playing well. Satwik is just out.
My God, what an umpire. Just give the yellow already. SatChi deliberately doing this for the 4th time.
Satwik will become the reason of the downfall of this otherwise potentially good pair, so much for his nonsense gestures at the end of their yesterday's match. I would also like to add, for how long are fans going to label Sindhu as the queen of majors and defend her loses. If anything she has only degraded after her world championship gold. No focus whatsoever.
They were lucky that the japanese pair had like 2 service error at crucial time, otherwise they would get destroyed in straight game. I hope herry doesn't make the same mistake if INA somehow still win this, just play ahsan/hendra for MD1.
ahsan also did some unforce errors. both of them didn't play well. maybe their playing style doesn't suit hoki/kobayashi. Head to head ahsan/hendra are also not good enough against this japanese pair.
I can understand Sindhu queen of major remark here lol. Regarding Satwik, it's just not the same person anymore. I understand he had covid and had less smashing power. But so many UE, so many ? No hunger. This pair has the potential to be a top 3 IF they improve their defence and has that cutting edge mentality.
I think bagas/fikri is better than Kevin/ahsan but maybe the coach feel bagas/fikri would be nervous in team event Then again, maybe he has faith in the singles players to get at least 2 win so he just aim to get 1 doubles win
