Any match against NTM is tough. That guy has the ability to chase everything down and forces you to play shots closer to the lines. I don't think Daren will solve NTM again
exactly...he should not be tired everytime after play 3-game match...Malaysians need to work on their fitness more...except for Lee CW, i think others get fatigue too easily
Daren basically lifted every shuttle for NTM to smash. Not sure if he doesn't have any more stamina or what.
Possibly Daren trained too much with Ah How... Ah How promised him to give All you can eat version of Chicken rice with any top ups he wants for free only after train together with Ah How...
NTM is just a better player opposite the net today. It does not mean that Liew daren lost due to his stupidity, he might beat NTM in their future clashes....
Are you kidding me? I watched the whole match via stream and I can conclude for sure that Liew Daren was indeed stupid. After he won the first set, he is just too underestimating NTM for the second set. He always gave high ball that enabled NTM to smash. Besides, he never smash that much in the second set, he is like; "I don't need to play hard against this dude cause I know I can win easily without any hard work." And he totally wrong when he always gave high ball, not because NTM is good but because Liew Daren is lacking the spirit to play and he is just too underestimate his opponent. Still remember in the second set where he got the chance to finish a long rally, the ball was just lifted high in front of the net and he decided not to smash it but rather shoot it out of the court, my reaction and NTM was like "WTF?!" I can say that it is probably the most weirdest thing I ever seen in badminton, ever!
Eriko lost to Sung Ji Hyun. she did well even though trailing at the beginning of the 3rd game. but after the got as close as 12-13 she fell apart and then errors after errors and gave away the game.
