The japanese team are really giving 400% right now!! Haven't seen any team give that much trouble to the korean in a long time. They all scream so loud haha. This match is really intense
Seems like all the posters from Asia have gone to bed lol What an amazing match this is turning out to be :O Already 1h14 !!!! The japanese are on fire, they want this badly
Lee/ Yoo want it just as bad, as they already suffered an upset during the first round of last years AE. Lee Yong Dae also lost in R1 of the 2013 AE with Ko Sung Hyun and didn't participate 2014, because he was banned for not taking a drug test. So the Koreans never did well at the All England Championships after Lee won the title with Jung Jae Sung in 2012.
Haha Lee/ Yoo throwing their rackets in relief in the air after 1h28 minutes of match !!! They really had to dig deep
Yes, at least from a neutral perspective....being a fan of the Koreans it was quite nerve-wracking at times, seeing them struggle so much against a pair they never lost to. Still a good game in the end and I'm looking forward to watch them play in the upcoming rounds
Dont underestimate Japanese doubles pairings. Ever. Unless its Hirata/Hashimoto, in which case you should never assume they'll be able to beat anyone above WR#500
Exactly. Although Japanese MD never seem to win any titles (last one I remember was Kamura/ Sonoda winning the German Open GPG 2013), they have beaten quite a high number of top ranked players during the last couple of years.
So sai praneeth took the first game against LCW they call him the most naturally gifted player in india but somehow didn't perform much at the International level. I dont expect him to win g2 and g3 Still, well done to snatch a game from the lion.
Can't argue with you there. There were tons of times I wanted to rip my hair out on that one. That LCW game though... =O
I just don't believe it. LCW is out! Two games in which he had a couple of points in front and then gives them all away. So many easy mistakes. Horrible.
Oh no, already went home and now seeing Lee Chong Wei lost :'( now the bottom side of the draw is really open. Gogogogogo kento
