oh, so they got the runner up position again this time.. fell short yet another time.. don't worry, they can still try again next year.. that's right.. don't worry, lee yong dae is still young, lots of chance for him to try and win the wc again.. that's right..he's still young men..not too fast yet to become the WC..hard luck..try again next time.. thanks for that, jagd.. i agree..this loss surely will be a very painful one for the koreans especially..better luck next time..
By the way, where's HTK yesterday? He didn't made it to Hyderabad together with the korean md team? is he just a part time coach or what?
wow, it looks like u are so confident that your mighty korean pair will take back the wr1 spot after the china masters. why are u so sure? i'm hoping for upsets
I'm happy enough to see 3 INA pairs in top 10. Uh, where are other KOR pairs, if I may ask? Depending too much on the World Dominator?
You can notice it if you just take a look at the ranking-point differences of the top 3 duos - just marginal. The top ranker Kindra is going out from the stage and KKK/TBH have been showing some lacks against JJS/LYD (refer the H2H tables I uploaded at another thread.), the KOR duo has good chance to get to the WR #1 soon. But unfortunately, the KOR duo will not participate in the upcoming China Masters due to the treatment of LYD's arm. So, it will be postponed to Japan Open. Enjoy~
You're right, that's the problem with Korea and INA too. On the ranking table, the players with point below 50,000 cannot be comparable with the upper-ranked players. The lower-ranked players are just minors in skills and confidence. They may need more experiences but I'm not sure if they can make it in the future. Actually, I have not been impressed by the lower-ranked two INA teams. I viewed many available matches of them but can't find any edges or something of the top players; they need more focus, consistency, and sensitive control at the net not just hustle speed or jump smashes. (Esp. Hendra Gunawan is good but can't believe why he was so unstable in the Taipei Final in XD. I saw the match and sure Vita and he were superior to their INA opponents. He needs some mental training.) Enjoy~
Off topic-Don't be surprised by his result.. ..don't be surprised by Hendra A.G.'s result. He's been known to be quite inconsistent and unstable even during his heyday with his previous MD partner, Joko Riyadi (who, IMO, is even more inconsistent and unstable). What you should be surprised and can't believe about is if Hendra A.G. actually wins a title. Too bad Vita has to partner with him.
Well, could you enlighten me what was the last int'l title KOR pairs (aside of your precious pair) won?
Right, all aside the pair suck. They look not qualified to be top-most players. Each of them lack something; I can list them up but I never mind. Actually I'm looking at the next-generation; esp. there are three great players among the high-schoolers.
I came to know that the pains on LYD's arm has started from the Semifinal of the 2009 WC. That makes sense why the KOR duo played very poor at SF and Final. I should say sorry that I commented that their plays were too bad as compared to their past plays. LYD will be treated for a couple of weeks.
Whoa. Wonder what would happen if LYD was injury free? Straight sets all the way till champion, right?
