They were not themselves because the INA pair made them so.....such that Fu/Cai were disoriented and made lots of errors. I think the gap was too much for them to fight for and thats why they failed to even regroup themselves to try and narrow the gap.
This match was reminiscent of the China Open Final 2006 in which they also could not execute their normal strategy and Kido/Hendra stuck to their game plan and won ALSO in straight sets 21-16, 21-16.
Ppl just dont trust that Kido/Hendra will win the china's pair."How come","How possible".Must be some problems with the chinese pair.Hehe..
But u know what,it happens..with all the facts that they're both playing fair n square.No injuries for each player,nor CY,as stated before.Today,hendra/kido were just too strong for the chinese pair today.
Talking about exhausted,I believe that hendra/kido is more exhausted than the CY/FHF..since they've played the whole round n won the China Open final.While CY/FHF was already out on the 1st round.Simply put,CY/FHF got more time to rest than the kido/hendra.
So,anymore excuses?
1) Badmania, ol chum, like I said in earlier post, they were different when they played against Zakry/Fairuz, at least in China. Zakry/Fairuz also keep shuttle low, were better at net play, but Fu/Cai wont give up kept chasing.
Here, they gave up in 2nd set.
2) Smichz, a) should be more exhausted and actually is exhausted is 2 different things. b) as others have said, fighting spirit, they are very well known for being gritty, good mental strength. This semi, got to a point, like they dont have mood to fight anymore.
I noticed past few months, Cai Yun not as aggressive as he used to be, Fu also less confident. Anyway, just download & watch the China Open match, just 1 week ago, they are different
+ I'm not fan of Fu/Cai.
Was just wondering how come our Msia MD, Zakry/Fairuz couldnt beat Fu/Cai if they played like this. Not to take away Kido/Setiawan's win, they deserve to win.
