Are you joking about Kevin & Marcus? They will be the most "laughable" MD after the 2 Kims from Korea who almost beat eventual Olympic Champions in MD Zhang Nan/ Fu Haifeng but "laughed" away their comfortable lead in the 3rd deciding game... Trying to "stare down" their opponents like Lee Chong Wei? How many weeks have they been at World Ranking No. 1 and how many YEARS has Lee Chong Wei been at World Ranking No.1? No to mention that their opponents were 2012 Olympic Silver Medallists Boe/ Mogensten! It's too bad that the 2 Kims couldn't face themselves and are now retired as an MD after failing to "stare down" 2012 & 2016 Olympic Champion in MD, Fu Haifeng... so I hope Kevin & Marcus' career last at least as long as Koo Kean Kiat and Tan Boon Heong's-- just to give China more competition, even if they may never win a World Title.
Interestingly, INA is the only team in the tie to have won more points than lost (468-460). For group leader DEN it is 476-480 and for IND it is 415-419.
Yes this match reminds me of Kim/Kim.. They were leading 95 or i should say 99% of the time from Game 1 to end of Game 3 and they managed to blow it when it comes to match points. That match led to Kim's retirement i believe.(and not injury or whatever) Fortunately this is just sudirmanCup and not WC. It will affect minions psychologically for months to come so its better they dont meet in WC against certain opponent.
The only other time India qualified for QF, they were also drawn against CHN. Very unfortunate. (Fortunate for CHN).
HAHAHA.. India vs China...Goodbye.. It would have been Indonesia vs China anyway. makes no difference.
I'm guessing they are going to give the TV/ Hawkeye court to JPN vs MAS again, and maybe CHN vs IND -- too many Olympic Medallists in those ties... IND too unlucky, to be drawn against CHN after such a brilliantly executed campaign...maybe Chen Long will feel like losing is no big deal again? JPN vs MAS and TPE vs KOR were quite close ties and a re-match will be worth watching to see how a change in strategy might yield different results... DEN seems quite off-form today (is there a flu going around?) and THA might have a chance if they can push themselves to perform above their best...
Do you see LD or CL vs. KS? Do you see CYF/Sun Yu/HBJ vs. Sindhu? Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
