[PFQ] Colin HILL & Keith TURNBULL {SCO}</FONT> 0-15, 0-15 {18m} 8* Jonas RASMUSSEN & Peter STEFFENSEN {DEN}</FONT> Wooow..... what a match ~!!!!
I don't think that is true for the last 10 years in MD. Most of the times Indo pairs won. Anyway, I am very disappointed by Candra/Sigit. First carelessly lost to Fu/Cai in World cup, then (should not be carelessly this time) lost to Choong/Lee, both opponents are in the powerful type. Maybe C/S are really too old to have good defence?
How old are they now? perhaps after such an illustrious career the magic has finally gone? either that or they can't train as hard as they used to because of their age - or their age has altered the type of game they can play.. unlike the other pensioners near the top (eriksen / lundgaard-hansen) who play a slightly slower but just as effective game.. Coops
Chinese Indonesian can support either China or Indonesia Plus... I agree with MP that Xie Zhongbo is a nice guy
Candra and Sigit are 31 or 32 this year. They are not as lethal as before....and young attacking pairs (such as Fu/Cai or Jung/Lee) can exploit this weakness. On the other hand, Eriksen/Lundgaard Hansen and other Denmark players seem to play better as they grow older.
Live Score SUCKS!! What happen to live score? Seems like no score is being updated since 20 minutes ago.
XZB has to play 3 matches a day? Crazy schedule! Why badminton tournaments, like All England, cannot play 7 days for the main draw plus 2 extra days for the qualification round, like tennis Actually, in tennis grand slam, even the current asustralian open, it lasts 14 days! Badminton is just so cheap
But Choong/Lee are also getting old... That is why I am disappointed in C/S. Maybe Rexy has taught Choong/Lee some Indo tricks... E/L are too tall. They can reach anywhere in one step, therefore age does not matter that much. On the other hand, I don't think Paaske/Rasmussen are playing better and better. (Now that pair does not exist anymore)
Actually Choong/Lee are playing better than when they were young. Just that they are alwiz troubled by injuries now.
