Quite frustrating. They showed all the matches except the last one which feature the best men’s doubles players in the world.
SatChi nearly closed the gap from 3-10 down to 13-15. They were very nervy, impatient today. But have to say, Bagas and Fikri played a fantastic match. Very smart play by them. Especially Bagas with his smash, placements, backhand smash and drive shot. Gutted not to see SatChi in the final. Was really looking forward to another good show.
I would honestly laugh if we have an all indonesian final in MD considering indonesian MDs have been struggling with their form for almost a year now
Sat-chi, Liang/wang and Kang/Seo are all out Who will win MD? Kim/Andersen also out All top 4 seeds as predicted Chen/Jia is also out after winning a tournament, they never win back to back usually.
Good grief Liu/Ou are out. They probably didn't have their favourite line judge and umpire with them this time.
Sen vs LZJ is the match I'll be most looking forward to watching tomorrow. Replay of the 2022 SF. The atmosphere inside the arena for that match was really electric - "Boleh" vs "Bharat Mata Ki Jai"
The commentator was Morten Frost? Hopefully both bring their a game. They have been unpredictable lately.
Yes I agree, Indonesian MDs has been struggling for a while now with only the odd big win here and there. Last year's All England winners Alfian and Ardianto and 2022 Winners Maulana and Fikri - both beating Ahsan and Setiawan. Possible match fixing perhaps in letting the younger players win? Who knows.
Well… I suppose they did only finish playing on Sunday and it is only France. Not far at all from England. Like maybe a couple of hours flight..
late night watched Aaron/Soh play against TPE pair, seems like they still not stable as they almost choked themselves when they got match point in 20-16, but end up struggle to close the match in 24-22... dunno whether they can play well against the INA pair Fikri/Maulana who defeated the IND pair Rankireddy/Shetty...
