i think fu/zhang purposely and intentionally built to beat ahsan/hendra lol, they even beaten by boe/moe in all england CMIWW. fuzhang only really strong againts sandra.
It's quick match for Ahsan/Setiawan v Fu HF/Zhang N tie as the two times World Champion succumbed once again to their strong rival, 9-21 / 18-21.
Ahsan/setiawan lose YET AGAIN to funan express, this time finally in straight set...don't undertand what's in the mind of indonesian coach now...I think setiawan should correct his words now when after the WBC he said LYD/YYS is the toughest pair to beat...
Zhang Nan's at his peak at the moment, while older Setiawan and FHF although still the best in MD are past their prime/peak time, if there's anything Ahsan should really step up the game to claim Rio 2016
but they're not that dominant, compare it when they play sandra. i think the way fuzhang plays really suits sandra strong defend with deadly smash and keep up with sandra flat shoot. fuzhang weakness lies when the player that they're againts are the one who use power and attacks likes of shin/ko, boe/moe, lee/yys, agga/ricky. thats why they only win denmark SS apart from sandra almost all MD play the power style.
I believe in Setiawan. He is smart player. He will beat them in Rio. Remember what happen to Koo/Tan and LYD/YYS ?? Setiawan is THE LAST MAN STANDING
Not yet, let's see if they fail again of not in the final... Beside I always believe that ahsan/setiawan will be a different pair when it comes to major tournament, I remember against LYD/YYS in asian games 2014 their H2H against them was 4-1 to LYD/YYS, and LYD/YYS always trash them in straight set, yet when it matter most they take the title.
