The first time the pair appeared in a international competition was Thomas Cup in last May. However, I think it's correct to say that their partnership became permanent 1 month b4 Asiad. Pity that KKK/TBH is still not automatically qualified for the next few Superseries events ... They will need more wild card chances like this time round.
Hmm.. ..could be, but remember they have Rexy on their side to guide and instruct them..What's interesting is, how will they fare if Rexy is not their coach??.. Anyways, i didn't see the match, but it's still the 1st leg of the SS tourney; many2 more tourneys to come..come next week, the fun should continue @ the Korean Open...We'll see if KKK/TBH can continue their good run there and see if Tony/Candra can also perform as well?? Perhaps a rematch is in order??..
KKK/TBH has proven that they are a revealation.Malaysians are passionate about their badminton and they have given fantastic support to the players.Congratulations KKK/TBH.
As I recall, the Asian Games was held in Doha and not in Malaysia. So the label of only winning at home cannot be applied to them. Asian Games is bigger than M'sian Open, right?
I would like to add more weight to KKK/TBH's triumph as this is a new pair with young players - and whom they beat are a legendary pair who only lost once (to the pair who later became the world champion) since their reunion last year. If the winning Malaysian pair were the experienced CTF/LWW, or if the loser wasn't TG/CW but say CY/FHF, then I would strongly agree that it's just our usual "Jaguh Kampung" factor.
Well,they play well today but they ought to continue improving coz we must remember other player also continue improving but i really love to see KKK/TBH play,it is absulubely interesting.However,congrat and do well in the Korea Open.
to whoever countered my predictions and comments with harsh words ... im happy to accept any comments but next time plz dun use such harsh words ... and dun be so confident on who u guys pick .. as i gif KKK/TBH 55% and Tony/Wijaya 45% ... KEEP ALL YOUR WORDS TO URSELF ! EAT IT ! KKK/TBH Thrashed them with 2 sets ... but well play by tony/wijaya too ... close for the 2nd set
KKK/TBH a big congratulation for "half defending" your MO title. Yeah, I'm so happy that KKK and TBH beat the legendary Tony/Chandra in straight sets and make our country proud. The first qualifier ever who won the first super series title in 2007. May KKK n TBH can win more titles in the future.
at least KKK n TBH won the AG gold medals at Qatar n not in M'sia.. so its not that they will only win it at home...beware too...
there is another nemenies they haven't met yet - LYD and partner （Jung JS?） of korea which will be another legend in years to come.
... and I would consider KKK/TBH a more consistent pair than CY/FHF thus far as they only lost one game to TG/CW at Japan Open in the international scene since they paired up in last May. CY/FHF could even lose to the relatively unheralded OSH/TBS.
