Am impressed with korean persistent attacking and closing after 15 points. They kept up with the intensity. Well done. KKK/TBH nothing much being improved. They have to do it like the koreans.
I spoke too soon,though I predicted a win for Ko/Yoo, but,after the 1st set goes to KKK/TBH, I thought they have broken the jinx, alas,it was not to be.
Fitness won the day. Towards the end, KKK is back to his fancy shots again,,hoping to win points but not against this pair
The problems with INA or MAS MD pair is that they tend to run out of gas at the rubber-set. Very much unlike CHN or KOR pairs, who can still maintain the intensity of their attacks and defend well. The other problem is the tendency for INA or MAS pairs to throw away good lead and lose their focus.
Somehow KKK-TBH has improved but obviously Koreans are still ahead, physically and mentally.. You don't see KSH-YYS making unforced errors in a row.
Same old style. Never learn. KKK only can smash from the front court. Anything further back, the Koreans can return. Same with TBH, jump so high but chose to drop and the shuttle lands into the net. KKK's lift 80% half court. OMG.
sigh..I have no idea how many matches it will take for KKK-TBH to beat their bogeyman..6-0 today..probably 10-0 before they can break the jinx
looking at todays performance. Nothing changed. So, wazzup coach? BAM?? Time to bring rexy back to whip them skinny again?
KKK's smashes were not even successful from 3/4 court. Depending only on TBH to whack. even then the Koreans can take most of his smashes now. Either the Korean defence has improved or TBH smashes are losing sting and sharpness
Earlier, I was about to say that Princess No.1, Li Xuerui, her mental strength may be suspect. Pleasantly surprised she took control of herself and took charge of the match to win the rubber set so decisively. However,something must have happened to Princess Ithanon to break down in game 3; the score 21-7 is just not acceptable to me, for two of the three best rising stars.
who's the other best rising star according to you? well, about the princess 1,2.. princess isn't my term, i just borrow it from you
