hope they will play well in Swiss Open... If they make it at least QF, they will gonna face the INA pair and eventual AE champion Towi/Butet (again)...!!
They should share notes with the other pairs on strength and weaknesses. Paste it big big when training. This should help. Once they can consistently be in qtr finals, then they are in the big league already. AE is the first so far from my point of view. They have 40% improvements to go.
1st round cleared, one more match before reaching QF as gonna meet Towi/Butet for AE rematch...(will they?)...!!
i was just watching the video of the AE semi between CPS/GLY and Tantowi/natsir. i noticed that the umpire got the service wrong at a very crucial point. CPS/GLY were 18-20 down in the first set. they won the next point and thus, GLY was serving 19-20. They won the next point again to level at 20-20. but instead of GLY continuing to serve, the umpire instructed CPS to serve instead! One wonders if things would have been different if GLY was serving instead of CPS at 20-20. i cant believe such a mistake can be made at such an important tournament and especially at such a crucial stage. Here is the link that i saw the video.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhS_uN_EMQc&feature=related
CPS does not have a stable low serve... wow... what a mistake has been made...! But even so, there's no guarantee that CPS/GLY would have gone on to win the game. They did hold several game points in that game though, so we shouldn't speculate so much.

hmm... there is a problem when the score is 19-20. CPS should serve instead of GLY, because when the score is 18-20, GLY was in the right side, not left side, so, when they got the point (service over), CPS should serve. i agree, this is a mistake, but the mistake start at 19-20 when CPS should serve, not in 20-20. i think the umpire realize his mistake so he instructed CPS to serve. if the match would have been different if GLY serve at 20-20, then the match would have been different also if CPS serve at 19-20. that's human. sometime make mistakes. cmiiw anyway, GLY look improves a lot, very good play. if some pairs is splitted after the olympic, this pair have a chance to break top 5... let see....
Good effort and congratulations for getting a runner-up position at the Australian Open. Better luck next time, hopefully in the Malaysia GP Gold!
Congrats to the duo, even though they only managed to be runner ups. Chan PS should keep his temper in check...again. He got kicked out from national tourney last year for disagreeing with the linesman and umpire (felt sorry for his doubles partner). His temperament was okay today, although I didnt understand what really happened when he twice lost his temper a bit (with the crowd also enthusiasthically joined in), AND hence lost his focus too. The match might go the opposite...Smash precision was okay, could be better! Goh LY's netplay getting better, but there's always room for improvement. Cant wait to see them in action in BAC
The same disease is affecting Malaysian pairs...inability to finish off at the crucial moment...hopefully they will bounce back stronger
Mak Hee Chun/Teo Kok Siang, Hoon Thien How/Tan Wee Kiong of course Depending on the draw, if they can even get that far. Goh Soon Huat in singles, if he gets that far (which I doubt) Pretty much these.
Composure. Next year, they should be better as long as they keep improving on speed, power and strategy.
