Setiawan is excellent, so is LYD. This game, Ahsan played better the KSH. Congrats to Setiawan and Ahsan
Congratulations to Hendra Setiawan/Mohd Ahsan as they won their 2nd SS title at home ground. Pak Gita Wirjawan (the new chief of PBSI) was very happy as he high-fived those VIPs near him after the final shot.
The Indonesians... just tactically too good. They played flat the whole way and kept attacking. Even when defending they always looked to step in and counter. The Koreans just wasn't allowed to play their normal style. They were pushed and stretched all over the court by the supreme control and dominance of Hendra Setiawan and the swift power play by Mohammad Ahsan. If Korea is to beat Indonesia they need to be better in the service-return situation and fast exchanges. They played their shots right into the hands of Hendra and Ahsan who are very good at putting loose shots away. A long way to go for this Korean pair.
Now coming the two of the four most formidable XD pairs ZHANG Nan/ZHAO Yunlei vs Joachim FISCHER NIELSEN/Christinna PEDERSEN Lets see which pair will lead the H2H score following the current tie: 6 - 6 :-D
Congratulation to Ahsan/Hendra. In early first set I watched, Hendra was controlking the game while Ahsan was deadly for the loose hit from Koreans
Zhang had looked a bit off the pace in recent months, however I caught the start of the game yesterday and he seemed to be showing a bit more purpose. I think they might take this
Maybe because SN hasn't even reached a single final this year? WYH/WSX/TTY/RI all have won titles. And the truth is, as far as 2013 is concerned, Ratchanok has performed significantly better than SN by reaching 4 finals and winning 2 titles. Stop thinking that everything is an intentional affront to your idol. Jeez.
