liew darren lost tamely to suppanyu 16-21, 16-21.. mas lost 2-3.. what a start! so mas hope of winning at least a medal at the team event badminton its over..
MAS - THA : 2-3, Daren Liew lost to Suppanyu Avihingsanon, 16-21 ; 16-21. So Thai Men's team will take on either KOR or JPN in tomorrow semifinal.
CWG is MIXED team event.. asian games here is men's team and women's team. it seems that this time mas women's did better that the men's team though
the unbelievable defeat of LCW really pressurize the whole team ! out of the game, and its only the first time...our chief de mission will be FURIOUS
LCW has a lot of explaining to do. back injury again? he holds the anchor of the team. same happened to CHN in Uber Cup, once WYH lost. the whole team crumbles.
..uh-oh, what does this mean for Datuk??.. ..don't forget LCW's old knee injury which flared up in his loss vs. Simon Santoso, in last yr's Japan Open..Against LD, when LCW lost, it's most likely related to pressure..
Very unfortunate.... last time similar thing happened when WCH out with injury.... And LCW lose first singles to PG IIRC....? Then KBH lose to Joachim Pearson?
Despite of H2H record and about same age, MHC/TKW are more experienced and higher ranking, if LCW didn't lose, I'm 60% sure they can revenge the THA MD . Daren Liew also have higher ranking and more experienced in term of tournaments participation, he shouldnt lose too despite of their last meeting was won by Avihingsanon. They both simply cannot hold the tense this time.
u dont shock that mas mens team with the world number 1 in ms n md respectively lost to a thailand team? can accept la?
..quite an upset...OTOH, good news for Datuk as he'll have a few days to rest up and hopefully give his ankle time to heal..who knows, his ankle might miraculously heal in time for the individual event..
