Somehow, every time I watch Boe/Mogensen, I feel that their playing style is very awkward, unlike the Asian style or Paaske/Rasmussen. But somehow, when they are in control of the rally, they can be really dangerous. In contrast, their weakness is that they also made consecutive errors that opponents can capitalize.
The KOR pair upped the tempo a little bit when the score was tied at 8-8 to win 3 consecutive pts and make it 11-8 at the interval.
SS was just unfortunate not to take the 1st game when he led LD 20-16. LD did not resign to defeat at game point and this shows the character of the man. He bounced back to take the game at 23-21. SS was trailing at mid-game in the 2nd game but went on to win the game 22-20. In the 3rd game SS was trailing all the way and lost 21-15. It also appeared that SS injured his ankle in the 3rd game and it is hoped that this will not sideline him as in 2010.
Mathias Boe/Carsten Mogensen prove that they are worthy of the World No 1 ranking as they beat Ko Sung Hyun/Yoo Yeon Seong 21-17, 21-19. They are up against their nemesis Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae once again, a repeat of the Final 2 years ago.
Simon Santoso has played very well despite of some wide smash he throwed that very expensive. Especially if you are against Lin Dan. SS stretched lin dan to 75 mins game, It Is really serious. Lin Dan should worry about SS now. However, I believe Lin Dan current level is about only his 90 %. Tomorrow, LCW will win. Have no doubt.
The repeat of a final not too long ago. The Koreans could have changed the game had they commited less service errors. Still the Danes were the better pair. I expect them to win tomorrow
