ZJP and HSP both deserve to be in the Prestigious list of WC Medalists however I feel it may be HSP's last and best chance to enter the elite club than his younger opponent so he needs it more than ZJP but the better player who plays well and avoid errors will be the one to win. Lets see !!
Hendra already won 4 gold he need 1 more to reach one of many players like LD, ZYL, and PJB who won 5 gold medals.
He was discussing his movement with his coaches after the end of first game. Although he did tell his coach that he was testing his movement in the rallies where he lost a string of points and he feels everything is fine, I hope it's not otherwise.
I think this will be biggest test in AaronSoh career. They will be playing for the partnership. This is like what maybe 4th/5th year they played together. Surely surely they have to go to the Final with that 5-0 H2H, cant falter at that stage over and over again. And afters, Its either Gold or nothing. It’s unfortunate but this is badminton. Rankings are only worth it if you win some titles. You dont have to be a world beater but you need to win some tournaments. At this moment, they still have achieved less than even Bagas/Fikri. I believe if they fail again, they should be split after this year. Huge pressure indeed.
I don’t think the match wif sen yesterday is makin a difference. Zhao played 3 tight games against lzj too
Sadly this was HSP's best and last chance to enter the elite club of WC Medalists but he lost it. Congrats ZJP you are now in the elite list of WC Medalists and Im sure with such play you could have many more medals at WC and may be someday stand at OLY Podium Im proud to have taken a selfie with you Well played HSP you gave your all and its alright you did play a good game and deserve respect !
Feel for HSP but no shame he played a great game heartfelt sympathies with HSP and Warm conrats to ZJP it was emotional for him too a very good match for us World Badminton fans !!
As usual, story gone the same way, prannoy after beating top guns, will succumb to lower ranked players.
