In computer games whenever someone is on some sort of winning streak we call them godlike simply because they are kicking ass. And I think Tony and Chandra are doing exactly that ! Not only that but, they are really inspirational in their style of play and their undenyable teamwork brings tear to my heart:crying::crying::crying: Koo Kan Kiet and his partner can learn much from these two, and who knows ! they might make a suprising victory ^^ I'm hoping to see a 3 set matches with the matches going over 21 points !
oic I it's Koo Kien Keat ? XD i'm getting bashed for incorrect name spelling ... And yeah I do play DotA XD. I must be pretty transparent.
This doubles partner is really amazing. Them, Jens Eriksen and Martin Lungard (not sure how you spell his name) has proven that you can play competitive badminton at a high lever even at old age. Amazing. However at the MO finals I thought that Tony didn't do his job so well. The roll of the person who playing in the front is to set up for the guy in back and finish when the opponent gives a weak reply. I thought that Tony didn't set up for Candra at all. He kept on engaging in the net push and the drives. Not to take anything away from the Malaysians. They played really well tonight. TBH did an excellent job with his net blocks and taking the pace off and setting up for KKK. Over all, it was an exciting game to watch.
U're right. But to be precise Tony was outplayed by KKK at the net at some point and were force made errors. Later they changed strategy by lifting up the shuttle to the youngsters & untilised their own excellent defense, it did work for a few points until it was too late....
now koo/tan have nearly defeated all top pairs in the world except Eriksen/Lungaard and Jung Jaesung/Lee Yong-dae.
rexy is an amazing coach. he is enthusiastic, seriousa and at the same time, a partner to these guys. he is one of the best coaches i have ever seen. the malaysian pair really have to be giving lots of credit. ranked 117 in the world, the went againts all odds.
that's my exact observation... lobbing the shuttle has worked for tony and candra... they got close to KKK and TBH.. but sadly, it was already too late... down 12-18, they lost 21-18... a 6-3 run is hard to do against KKK and TBH...
Not to take anything from the newly form pair of KKK/TBH but if they can win 2 All England's, 2 World Championships titles, and Olympics title with different partners (especially someone from a weak country such as Howard Bach) then yes they are legends just like Tony Gunawan.
