Jonatan Christie (Jojo) is currently still involved in a tight-match against fellow youngsters Wang Tzu-Wei of TPE
arggghhhh...... INA as usual are represented by Ahsan/Hendra, Butet/Tontowi, Greysia/Maheswari, TS can't win against CL. According to script, WS is gone as soon as they enter the main event, MS is gone by R32 or Qtr final. Keep finger crossed that Kevin/Markus can get past Kim/Kim today though.
Jojo always gets trouble against Wang TZ as he also lost in two previous meetings. Yeah, a bleak prospect so far for WS category, it's hard to break MS elite group. INA once again will rely on their doubles discipline in Rio, maybe we'll see better future in two or three years ahead
In official post-match interview by PBSI yesterday, Jojo said he felt like he wasn't really into the match. Everything was going wrong, he's just lucky to finally emerge as a winner yesterday. I guess the same thing happened today.
no wonder Wang Tzu Wei can beat Iskandar yesterday, he is now super on-form, most likely to succeed Chou Tien Chen as TPE no.1 MS in future...
Disappointing effort by Ahsan/Hendra.... give the credit to the CHN youngster! They gave away 4 pts unforced error in a row to the CHN pair till they already reached 20.s
sad. i like both RI and MA/HS, and they are knocked out today. i really have doubts on MA/HS as one of the favourites for the olympics. so far they have been disappointing this year. is it due to MA's back, or they have slow down from their peak last year?
now is up to Gideon/Kevin to do the job for their country here... but their opponents are the Kim duo...
