Angriawan/Hardianto beat Goh/Tan easily 21-15, 21-15. This is the worst performance I ever seen beside at IND Open. Perhaps it is time to split them up and build a new pair rather than wasting time.
Goh/Tan probably just need a break. Spend time training and get back in form. A new pair needs time to build. The WC is just a few months away.
I guess yesterday win from Berry/Hardianto isn't coincidence since they never win againts Tai pair Yang/Lu and now beat Mas pair Goh/Tan seeded 2 into their first SF SS
And we were kind of hoping Goh/Tan to give Kevin/gideon a hard time. Berry/Hardianto just got partnering right after Setiawan left Pelatnas. A new pair they are.
Goh must be having personal probs with Tan like he did with Lim Khim Wah hence the poor performances.
If not for Akane's fitness and determination, G2 is over for her and the match. Now all square, G3 to settle the fight.
Zhang BW eliminated two talented teens in a row, she will take on most likely top contender Tai TY tomorrow.
A well- and hard-fought battle , esp in G3, could've gone either way. Akane dug deep but Zhang Beiwen played the final two crucial points well to prevail 21-19. If I'm not mistaken, ZBW has beaten AY previously.
No surprise there was it? AY wasn't looking lustrous here, BZ on the other hand had an impressive match yesterday, must've boosted her confidence
