Kevin/gideon lost their spark, it's time to move on...at this point I feel like fajar/rian are better than them, they look better in preparation before this tournament too.
If indonesia somehow win this I just hope they finally give a chance to fajar/rian, I think they're the best INA MD right now based on performance
Wang and Huang were very impressive, the opponents strong start didnt bother them much in the end Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
agreed they played well. But minions didnt help themselves too, they looked so lazy on the court and without communications. Just look at their expressions throughout
I think its the end of time for Minions. They will still be comfortable top 5 pairs in the world. But i have never seen them lose so meekly, even when they lost to EndoW they keep fighting and most of the times if not all their defeats were in rubber matches - it was good and acceptable, let alone losing to a pair that they have 8-1 H2H lead., that they dont have this fighting spirit at all? Too bad if Pandemic halted their progress and Olympic charge. Of course they are already WR1, it cant go higher than that thats life. Also too bad cause they could easily have had 35Superseries titles instead of 27. But they already won much more than many can imagine, include the title of WR1 everytime they wake up. I didnt watch cause i think they will lose. Now, people still care that they lost but sooner , nobody would bother if they keep losing especially if they keep losing easily. Gideon forte is not in his smash so as both of them get older , its hard to play speed speed speed anymore. It will be very difficult to win points these days and they dont play defence. Unlike AhsanHendra who can mix up his smash and style of play until they are really old. Kevin is still young 26, he can still win lots of titles. I would like to see him paired with supersmasher like Daniel.
So far two ties that are too close for comfort for Team CHN, that with THA, now with DEN, the latter more or less expected. I think it's 50-50 whether CHN can escape time and again going forward, the penultimate and the final rounds. Should CHN meet JAP, the most probable finalist for the title showdown, I think JAP has the edge.
That's a good one, just when I thought KM has the match sewn up, CTC has other ideas, around the middle of G2, he started to claw his way back gradually. And we've a decider!
