My goodness, 2010 INA GP Gold WD final scenario is repeated here Meiliana/Greysia lost to Luo Twins once again 21-15 / 15-21 / 20-22 despite INA WD leads with huge margin at decider...
Meiliana/Polli vs Luo Duo : 21-15 ; 15-21 ; 22-20 What a defeat, from 19-12 leads, in a 3rd set & becoming 20-22 down, i don't know why, maybe they were lost focus or less fighting spirit...Speechless... Kudos to CHN WD who put up a good fight & tremendous fighting spirit, give the INA WD a blow on the face....
Sigh, the Msia leng luis still not back on form aft WKW's ankle injury, lost to the Japanese straight set
Oboy, Ajay Jayaram fading away in game 3 just as I had expected. He and his coach need to find some corrective measures for this very big flaw in his make-up.
Of all the games played so far today, the Japanese players have not lost a single match. In fact, they have not conceded a single game to any opponent.
Losing the first game, KOR #2 Shon Wan-ho has no problem in last two games to overcome Ajay Jayaram, 19-21 / 21-12 / 21-10.
With cutie #1 out, courtesy of Han Li, it's up to cutie #2 to salvage some KOR pride JKE/KHN take G1 21-14 but down 9-10 in G2
Lydia Cheah doing her best impression of Ashton Chen, going from 10-10 to 10-19 She succumbs with a whimper 15-21, 12-21 to Minatsu
Thien Minh is making heavy weather of his meeting with Kwong Beng Chan, dropping the first game, and just leading 8-6 in the second. Now trailing 9-8. What gives, TMN??? Ai Goto is about to take the rubber against Aprillia, and in the process spoil Japan's erstwhile perfect run of winning all matches today without dropping a game. Ah yes! she prevails 21-14 in game 3 as I write....
Potential rocket match of the day in progress. BYX/HHB take on Wes Caulkett and Wendy Chen and lead 8-0 in about 1 minute!
no worry... INA WS are very very very good to make a rubber game even against a very good player... but 90%, they will end up losing.... just like what badMania said, so typical...
That means (a) lack of stamina/strength and (b) mental fragility when it comes to the final stretch. So we know what the problems are. Now, to find the solution...
