It's the end of the road for Nitya/Greysia, good job girls, but they should held their head high, it's only few pts here and there...... Keep the spirit and make life difficult for Chn WD
They should have won this. This is rare opportunity. This is mostly mental or psychological of your mind/body performance. The training is the icing on top of the physical one. You train yourself to manage the things that are controllable in an environment that is largely uncontrollable. The difference is being able to perform at your very best at the moments when it counts the most when the score is 19-19, 20-20, 19-20. Pelatnas should incorporate psychological combat mental stress training regime to all Indonesian players.
Well, could've, would've, should've, facing 3 strong Chn wd in a row it's defintely tough mental battle, so they should make the best out of the outcome, and to know that the gap is closing. But I agree, TJH is weak link at the end, and they fail to expose more on her
It's Tang/Bao's 3rd tournament in 3 consecutive weeks, winning the Dutch Open GPG, DEN Open PSS, and now appearing in their 3rd final tomorrow. Can they win the 3rd consecutive WD title tomorrow? Btw, if I'm not wrong, it's also their 4th tournament together as a pair. An excellent performance already by any standards.
Hopefully the appearance Greys/Nit on SF SS will boost INA women's player to do better in future tournaments. I really don't want Rexy take his own word to not send them to Uber Cup next year..
But looking at Ina ws singles atm, is very discouraging, so let's see in next couple tourneys.. Maybe that's encourage GreyNit to do better here, to proved to Rexy
You should see more of their struggle, passion in the court, not based on title only... Looking at wd which is Chn's forte for more than decade, beating 2 or 3 of them are very excellent result to me...
Considering CHN multiple WD pairs, JPN, KOREA and Denmark's WD pairs, the mountain to climb to reach to Finals of SS is very challenging indeed.
I should say, Zhao Yunlei appears more tired and 'disinterested ' than Tang Jinhua who will play her 3rd consecutive final in 3 weeks tomorrow - in fact Zhao Yunlei is playing her 8th match now against the KOR WD when you count both WD and XD, and that after winning the XD title last week. Obviously, fatigue would take its toll a bit more on Tang Jinhua who is more of a back court player and having to do most of the smashing than Bao Yixin. I feel that if Tian/Zhao fails to overcome the KOR WD, the match now in progress, I am fairly certain Tang/Bao will have a tough time against the KOR tomorrow.
Uh-oh, Lee CW 'accidentally' dropped G2, at one point trailing by as much as 17-6 to K Tago. Maybe Lee CW is feeling tired and uninterested.
