    Stark reminder from Sukamuljo - I can single handedly ruin your day, LYD!

    The second game was showered with clears and pushes. Both the parties will do better in the third game.

    No hint of form from LYD in the deciding game.

    Gill Clarke talking about Kevin, respect and LYD in the same sentence as we change ends.

    Thoroughly entertaining encounter assisted by the service judge. 11-9!

    From the very start of this rally, I had the intuition of Koreans winning it. 14-15!

    Typical Peak LYD misses and Unforced errors from Lee Yong Dae. Three Errors in a row from him, my goodness.

    The match was sophisticatedly poised at 15-15! in the decider before Lee Yong Dae showed his true age and made 6 errors in a row.

    The Koreans were also guilty of trusting a bad stringer as their string broke 18 times per set and all that added up in the end. We would like to hear more from @Ch1k0 on it.

    Body Language of LYD while leaving the arena : "Kevin SS has always shown incredible talent, and is finally starting to meet expectations. I was victorious in the past at this tournament, and tried everything to turn this match around, but Kevin and Father Time were just too strong for me in the end. The better pair won today, that's competitive Badmintion for you...''

    Whilst it's true that LYD made the last few errors, I felt that it was KGJ most of the time who made the error on the defense or drive situation. The Koreans were obviously very fatigued; KGJ more so. If they can get in better shape the Minions better brace themselves. :p

    Yeah and if minions could get in a better shape especially Marcus, then minions could be ready any time.

    I haven't seen any signs of fatigue from MGF. He just seems a little bit error-prone sometimes.

    He has been making error since the beginning of G1... quite worriying. At least Kevin didnt seem to be too nerveous or anything.

    I don't think he's tired, he just seems nervous and didn't expect the koreans to get everything back with such great quality, hence the error. I really hope lyd and kgj could be in better shape next year, we already see what they capable of in the 1st game...when the last time you see minions work that hard to get their point ? and the playing condition in hongkong are not that slow either. hope they can play each other again next year, it will make minions a better pair...not to be reckless with their attack knowing the koreans are so good with their counter attacking defense.
