Tantowi cannot maintain his composure and makes too many errors.. it's over, 21-9 CHN won 4 out of 5 gold medals..
CHN plays very solid match in this final. they never let up even when the going get tough. i wasn't impressed by the INA pair. LN played ok but Tantowi went from brilliant to absolutely poor at the end of the match.
Yeah, the Chinese pair show why they're the #1 in the world. They slowly turned the ship around and then took over. Really impressed.
I also thought the INA pair tired noticeably whereas the Chinese became more energized as the match wore on.
bad to the point that he started showing some bad attitude, whether at himself or not, a true sportsman should play on at his best. just look at PG, he was demolished by LCW but never stopped trying. this younger has a lot to learn.
It was not to be for the INA pair The CHN pair came back strongly in the second and third sets, especially with Zhao Yunlei owning the nets and Liliyana Natsir was not as her usual best over the past 2 weeks. Tantowi Ahmad also rushed too many times and when the CHN pair changed their tactics, the INA pair found it difficult to attack them. Credits to the crowd for staying on till the end and I hope Towi/Butet can learn from this defeat to come back at the World Championships this coming August. I still have faith in them!
4 titles for China and one for Malaysia. time to sign off and go to bed. good night all. have a great weekend.
