Yonex DENMARK Open SS Premier 2014 : QUARTERFINALS (17th October 2014)

Looks like a number of players coming from the Asian Games having played both the team and individual events are jaded, Sung JH is the most obvious case.
 
Satu andalan Indonesia harus terhenti di babak perempat final turnamen Denmark Open Super Series Premier 2014. Pasangan ganda putra Hendra Setiawan/Mohammad Ahsan dihadang wakil Tiongkok, Fu Haifeng/Zhang Nan, 21-17, 19-21, 11-21. Kekalahan ini bisa dibilang mengejutkan, pasalnya Hendra/Ahsan yang merupakan unggulan kedua, lebih difavoritkan untuk memenangkan pertandingan atas Fu/Zhang yang non ungggulan.

Apalagi di pertemuan sebelumnya di All England Super Series Premier 2014, Hendra/Ahsan menang straight game meskipun harus lewat adu setting, 23-21, 22-20.

"Saya merasa hari ini mainnya kurang enak, kalau terima smash pasti pengembaliannya mengambang terus, jadi enak untuk lawan, mereka gampang menyerang balik," kata Hendra kepada Badmintonindonesia.org.

"Kali ini kami merasa kalah tenaga, tapi kalau dibilang capek setelah Asian Games juga tidak. Lawan kami kan juga capek habis ikut Asian Games, jadi tidak bisa dijadikan alasan," Hendra menjelaskan.

"Kalau dibandingkan pertemuan sebelumnya sih mereka mainnya sama saja, cuma kami kali ini kalah kuat. Sebetulnya yang sayang itu di game kedua, kami sudah unggul malah tersusul dan kalah. Fu/Zhang punya pertahanan yang bagus, mereka tidak mudah dimatikan," tutur Ahsan.

Dengan hasil ini, maka Hendra/Ahsan akan segera kembali ke Jakarta untuk mempersiapkan diri jelang turnamen China Open Super Series Premier dan Hong Kong Open Super Series 2014 yang akan digelar pada November mendatang. Pasangan Juara Dunia 2013 ini tak ambil bagian di kejuaraan French Open Super Series 2014.

Indonesia sementara menempatkan dua wakil ke babak semifinal Denmark Open Super Series Premier 2014 lewat pasangan ganda campuran Riky Widianto/Richi Puspita Dili dan Tontowi Ahmad/Liliyana Natsir. Masih ada satu waki lagi yang akan bertanding yaitu pasangan Markis Kido/Marcus Fernaldi Gideon melawan Lee Yong Dae/Yoo Yeon Seong (Korea)

I remember this Zhang should play for S'pore squad after moved out from China but for some reason later relocated to USA.
 
Not surprising, playing the full two weeks at the AG, equivalent to back-to-back SS, is taking a toll on these players.

Yes I think there was some conflict between her and the coaches which prompted her to move to USA.
