I still cannot take it that KKK/TBH lost to Hong Wei/Shen Ye 21-16, 18-21, 16-21 the unseeded pair from China in the 1st round 1 of the main draw.
It is noted that KKK has lost 5 kilograms of weight and I wonder whether the sudden massive weight has affected his stamina and strength. Normally it is advisable to reduce weight gradually so that the body could adjust to the change.
It is also noted that SS the unseeded but revitalised Indonesian player has beaten the world champion Chen Jin 21-12, 18-21, 21-10 in the 2nd round. It is indeed a strange situation but good for badminton and for SS. It could be that the appointment of Li Mao as the Indonesian coach has motivated SS and it is his way of saying I could do it.
