Indeed....include the US pair Bach/Malaythong-Khan also, who beat Choong/Lee in Denmark Open last mth
They had 3 game points at 20-17 to win the first game, only to see the Chinese-Taipei pair nailed 5 straight points and stole the first set 22-20. Likewise, they held a 7-1 advantage early in the second set, only to see the lead evaporate and the Chinese-Taipei pair levelled it at 13-13. Once they did that, there was no turning back as Koo/Tan were only allowed to win 3 more points to end the game at 21-16.
If that case then there will be no excuse. Cant even convert 1 set point? And blow a 7-1 lead? What a joke!
1) They need to earn Olympic points. Same with pairs from other countries, they are also tired. Just those who crashed put early rounds in previous tournaments have more time to rest compared to top pairs. 2) LCW also went for all tourneys, he doesnt seem tired, maybe used to it . 3) WMC said her fitness level drop a lot from so many tourneys but still managed to beat Pi from France. BUT that's WS and MS. My conclusion : It seems to affect MD pairs more, they are more or less same level, must be in top form all the time, cant drop.
whats pass let it pass.... yup,of coz we all upset with koo-tan losses.... but now let we concentrate on the their next tournament... kkk-tbh should win the title...!!! we must admited that they r too tired after so many tournament... plus tbh r injury right... myb his not recover yet...
The same thing happened to LD in OG04. I believe that the main reasons for Koo/Tan's loss are that they are mentally and physically fatigue, and lack of preparation on unknown pairs. I don't think they were overconfidence and underestimated their opponents. Anyway, we still have two pairs of men's doubles made it to the QF, likely SF.
Just watch the hightlight of today from rtm...KKK look so guilty when he is being interviewed after their lose...TBH as usual seem like don't have any feeling...KKK admit thay they did not grab the chance in the first set...Hope they will take this lesson seriously...
Actually TBH look uncomfortable like he always is when facing the media. True, KKK look down only, he felt bad. Anyway, from highlights can see clearer that both of them look fatigued while the Taiwan pair fired up.
oh..wat happen to bc forum yterday?? now i only know that the server crash...fiuhhh... happy that zakry/fairuzizuan through to the next round...
