2012 Malaysia Open SS: Fri 13-Jan (Quarter-Finals)

Gillian's remark on LCW during his match with Taufik:
"I think he's had a bit of a hair cut since... winning the Korean Open... Lee Chong Wei."
and then, in a tone full of admiration, "looks very smart!"

Disappointed with the way Markis/Hendra lost. They had a decent lead in the rubber but somehow managed to let it out of their grasp. Those who watched it, did the INA guys choke it away or did CB/GZD step up?

No, it's just the typical Chinese never say die come from behind attitude. We see it a lot, should not be surprising by now.

Last week, Cai and Fu stole the huge paycheck from LYD/JJS at 4-11 down, so what's the problem with just 5 pts?

Indeed.....5 pts lead is NEVER a safe lead for INA standard anyway. We have seen many cases of INA players choking despite a huge lead.

The "never say die" attitude is something that the INA coaches need to instill in the younger players.
 
An excellent review by our dear abedeng as usual :)

Against the CHN pair, Towi/Butet have to start real fast and maintain the attacking tempo. If they lose focus or let the CHN pair into the game, it will be really costly as they had experienced it at the SS Finals. Total concentration please.....

really ??
are you sure ??
they are still 4000 points behind 8th position....
if they just enter QF like this, it's not enough for them to qualify to olympic...
if they want to qualify, they have to pray hard so that bona/ahsan and alvent/hendra always lost in 1st round while they can enter QF OR maybe, a bad pray hoping that bona/ahsan and alvent/hendra got injured....

I am not that sure either.. Qualifying to the Olympic seems more visible than Gold medal at OG2012...even if Kido / Hendra are able to get their best shape back, beating in form CY/FHF, LYD/JJS, MB/CM are very challenging tasks indeed.

They will become a very bad person if they pray hoping Bona/Ahsan or Alvent/Hendra injured :D
Kido is an elder brother of Bona Septano, while Alvent is Hendra's relative....

Or do you mean Ahsan & Hendra Aprida ? :p
