Just a better pair on the day. Don't think they played badly from what I saw. Huang plays well. Lu Kai lucky to have her as a partner.
The CHN pair are very lucky. In the semis, GOD saved them when CA"s string broke at match point. In the final, the officials saved them.
Rubbish umpires. First the service fault which was nowhere near higher than the waist. Then the call at the net when CPS tapped it down without even crossing the net. Then the yellow card. I dont believe these are their first controversial calls both of them.
Another bad officials vs Malaysia players. What's new? In Dubai, it was LCW incident. In All England of all place, officials still making problems.
Even GC and SP said there was nothing wrong but still umpire shows their awful smile. Even as far as to snatch the shuttle from CPS forcefully. What kind of officials is these?
Maybe the other top players of M'sia should start playing in foreign leagues like LCW for better exposure/ experience-- the badminton league in M'sia is just not competitive enough.... I mean, it's almost an expected thing for them get all starry eyed and choking under pressure in the big tournaments, sigh!
