i stil remember clearly yesterday when julia was playing , both TBH n HH cheered for her with a water bottle acting lik a microphone...TBH really had fun there....no way he shud lost confidence....

wonder wat kind of pressure he's having ?

perhaps the korean pair is too weird(fresh) that people cannot read their game.... thats wat happening during KKK n TBH getting paired up initially n won swiss,AE etc....n after a long run.....people knoe how to beat them...ah...do well next time...

Fear of failure, fear of losing. That's why they lost in WC 2007, MO 2008, China Open 2007... Rexy said when TBH wakes up in the morning, TBH already feel the pressure.

Yup, KKK/TBH were the stratch pair that beat established pairs, all the way to win titles.. the other countries pairs must have gotten scolding too.
Now they're the established pair that go beaten by stratch pairs.

I highly suspect Kien Kiat needs to shed a few pounds. He was uncharacteristically slow today and tend to fight over shots that naturally should be taken by Boon Heong.

I thought Boon Heong played ok today, as compared to yesterday, but Kien Kiat was below his par.

**leonardklh** · 02-24-2008, 08:54 AM

i think that mr tan boon heong need to regain his confidence like what he did it last year

That TBH didn't play that well is one thing, even the understanding and rotation between the two is affected. A few times, both almost collided going for the same shot, and that included TBH gifting Park the matchpoint with loose clear.

Zakry actually played decent, but Fairuz spoiled things with either too many net errors or not holding his racquet ready for the next shot.

Park used his height to good use, a lot of difficult angles confused the MAS pair. Long time since I saw a player with glasses, last one was Dominic Soong in the 70s.

I have always thought that Zakry is always the more stable of the two. Fuzzy ALWAYS has the tendency to make netting errors (like Lee Hyo Jung

). Maybe he should be moved to the back eh?

Fairuz has the mental strength of a mosquito. Thats why.

The cutest member of the Korean team for me is undoubtedly, Hwang Hye Youn. I love it when I watch Hwang spar with Hirose. Last time I saw that, Hirose won.

You obviously have not seen some of the mosquitoes I've encountered. They never give up.

**badMania** · 02-24-2008, 09:28 AM

Fairuz will make a perfect couple with Lee Hyo Jung....both are prone to making netting errors

When he gives away an easy point, he thinks about all the criticisms that will be levelled at him when he loses. That's his weakness. He should forget about everything. The mind should be clear of the past and the future. Live for the present.
