Congrats KSH and LYD for your first win over Bo mo! Well fought win, thoroughly deserved, what a performance by LYD and KSH both! To think this isn't even their full potential
Boe protested the service fault knowing it's a lost cause but I believe he just wanted to make his point; that's okay. Congrats to the Korean MD pair, well done. They are truly a force to be reckoned with now.
By the way, what happened to Korean Men's singles? Victor not making good singles rackets? Hehe. Seriously though, what happened to Lee Hyun Il or that dude who beat LCW last year?
Not really. Men's Doubles has unfortunately reached a very weak era. The same will be said for Mens Singles in 3-5 years' time.
isn't it more profitable for BWF to have a single long broadcast with commercial in between, instead of forcing people to re-start? most ppl won't even bother about WS/WD..
Turns out changing the service judge would have been pointless ...they didn't get to serve again Managed to embarrass themselves quite convincingly however
Sung Ji Hyun moving so slow today... O_O So much faster yesterday... she couldn't move for the drop shots... so slow moving forward
A nervous start for Sung. But she has beaten two CHN WS on the way to the final and with the home crowd behind her, she should be highly motivated to gun for her first SS title.
I agree with you. The last 4 to 5 years leading up to the 2012 London OG, IMO, were the golden era of the men doubles. We saw many top quality, strong MD pairs from various countries battling it out on court. In fact, there was no one hot favorite for the London OG MD gold medalist because the game was so open. Sadly this golden era has passed. We are now moving into a generation where most of the MD pairs are young and upcoming; they have not reached the top level yet. Hence, it is no longer as open as before. IMO, the MD discipline will be dominated by one or two strong, quality pairs in the immediate future because there aren't any real challengers now.
