What a let down from Maria febe lost so easily . Indonesia player need to toughen up the mental side in team event. Look at Marc Z. He just lost straight sets to LHI yesterday and now he force a rubber set. Thats the spirit. Of course if you play the caliber of LD or LCW, you will had very small hope to win. But against player that only better from you a little, you can make it up and try all you can to win. That what Marc show. Sadly not Hayom and Maria Febe show what they truly capable of.
Why on earth the Indonesia pairs play more defense than attacking? They had one day rest yesterday againt China. They should go all out and attack. What was the coach thinking? But still in , 15-17
Luckily Lin Dan always knows when to switch to a higher gear, only Lee CW can surprise and catch him off guard
Lin Dan often plays at 80-90% against everyone except LCW,maybe Chen Long,Taufik and PG too. But Lee CW is different,he almost always gives 100% against every opponent, that's why he usually wins so convincingly and beautifully;that's why I enjoy watching all his matches.
After losing the first set, Indo girls starting to attack more and so far it work. 6-1. They should do that in end of first set and maybe they can win the first set.
And that's why LCW has so many injuries while LD does not. LCW has adopted the wrong strategy for the past 4 years.
