Ooops, I forgot one, the partner if you are playing doubles ( the most common excuse).

I agree with the idea to break them up, at least on a trial basis. Not sure who is the real Achilles heel, but I am thinking KKK more than TBH.

They are A class material.

This means there s something wrong with the coaching/ match preparations. It s not comprehensive enough.

But they are always great to watch.

I actually think one of the main problems, is that they always are good to watch. For the spectators impressing and entertaining is a good thing however in matches sometimes, there is a time where you have to stop messing about, and start taking it seriously. I am not too sure that KKK/TBH know when this point is, hence the loses.

Anyway, you guys are critising them far too much. They have achieved quite a bit and they are the best chance of a medal apart from LCW for Malaysia. IMO its best to have a slump in form just now, rather than have it during the Olympics. Anyway most have pretty much written off this pair which means less pressure on them, which is probably good.

**Voltric** · 06-28-2011, 04:06 AM

Nowadays even a loss in form of about 3% to 5% would be enough to have a higher ranked MD pair to be beaten by an on form lower ranked pair. Every point counts, and I seldom see this pair being earnest about avoiding unforced errors or coming up with plays that would earn them much needed points. I think the main message above is, they have to start taking things seriously. Much like CY/FH, and that is why they're on top.

To add to that one word, secondly...'fitness'

1st set= superb, 2nd = unforced errors , 3rd = exhausted/panic -> defeat
