thats is his style for long time ago,and he did more than 6 unforce errors,so u can imagine the outcome for the match already

Yeah, u will absolutely right that TBH improve so much...Still love his fast and flat serve. Best serve definetely goes to TBH.....And he improved in every single aspect...His defense improved a lot....Even his net play isn't that bad compared to KKK....He's improving each day....On the other hand, KKK kinda dissappointed me badly.....

Though I really hate to admit that....but it's true that kkk is the reason behind their defeat....

**george@chongwei** · 08-17-2009, 02:21 AM

last time, it was tbh who made so much errors, and now , its kkk's turn..i hope kkk will be able to improve whatever weak aspect that he's having now..hope the coach will tell him about this..see! only time will tell on a player's improvement..look at tan boon heong..really impressed by him this time. anyway, i hope kkk/tbh and the fuzzy pair will be able to learn something from the md final match between korean and china yesterday though, since they are there watching live through their own eyes

As I always said,

MAS badminton should more focus on "mentality training" not skill training.

It's not their skills for their defeats, it's just mentality esp. at the final stage.

I recommend they train in colder countries. I guess the warm and humid weather makes their mentality loose.

It's 21-point rally system, speedy games now; more focusing abilities needed.

Period.

Isn't this problem also the biggest one afflicting the DOMINATING Jung/Lee too?

They had 2 match pts but failed to convert them......

Right, in this tournament, they lacked in the mentality as well as skills.

I haven't seen their poor plays like this recently: too many errors and unbalanced partnership.

I can hardly believe how KOR could beat MAS in SF.

You guys cant all Blame KKK on the defeat. Its all collective errors. Technically TBH should be blamed.. last 2 points is his error. But then you can judge the game by an individual. Its a pair game. Yes i do agree that TBH played better. But KKK also contributed in the match as well. But i guess.. they will surely improve as a pair here onwards. KKK in fact was disappointed in the lost. Both of them trained and prepared hard for this tournament. Whatever past is past. Move on now.

**kenny7_2006** · 08-17-2009, 09:47 AM

yeah, KKK tried his best along with TBH as well, both played well, heck the best I've seen them play for a while, but LYD and JJS won, so learn from this and return stronger next year... i say congrats to KKK-TBH, great effort, Bronze, and hopefully next time it's Gold!

**jon_91** · 08-18-2009, 04:43 AM

It is really true that TBH improved a lot...especially the match in the semis of the World Championship with LYD/JJS. He covered KKK almost the entire match. Wow really impressive. Love is serve, elevation is very high. His smashes now can match FHF lo. Angled smash, love them. How I wish I could be like him. His defence also improved. But i think that night it was not KKK's night. Though LYD also a bit colored-out, KKK make most mistake if I'm nt mistaken. LYD that night also being covered by JJS. But for me, the best players on court for that night was definitely Tan Boon Heong

And now,.....they lost again to a 2nd tier Jap pair, in straight game....Looks like they never learned, after so many loses to Jap pair, if PJB can make his pair to beat them, why Rexy cant ............

There always ups and down in their game,...but it seems like its more on the downs than the ups ...........sad

2nd tier? I thought Kenichi/Kenta were JPN 1st choice in the last Thomas Cup?
