Rian is full of smile already… a good sign? i noticed coach herry ip told rian to varied the shot,,, around 50-70% power for the first and second smash with angle variation, then go for 100% when fully ready
Fajri title to lose now even if AhsanHendra lost their 8th Final in a row, they have made their mark. Being in Final in any SS tournament at 37 yo avg is already legendary let alone AE. it will be a formality tomorrow.
All Indonesian md final tomorrow… fajar did the “siuuu” celebration (popularized by cris. Ronaldo) after the cool match point made by rian (cross court forehand dropshot)
Well it’s been a nice day/night for ina md’s fan,,, for the final tomorrow, it’s much more about mental aspect that need to be going well for FajRi so that they can get their first all england tittle… i recall quite clearly that fajri was being the heavy favourite for last year sf vs ahsan setiawan, but they blew it when the match didn’t go as their plan (their attacking play wasn’t working and their movement and defense is getting stiff/not good) sooo I don’t want to put hope that high/much for Fajri to win tomorrow but we’ll see anyway I still think that to be one of Indonesia’s md all-time greats, FajRi need to win two big major tournaments this year (all england and/or world champ and/or asian games) all the best
Also if we look into the stats, during their carreer, when the daddies reach all england finals, they can achieve other finals or possibly win the next big tourney in that year: world champ or world tour finals recall the year of 2013,2015,2019 And unfortunately on 2022 as well
i dont think so. They need to win a lot more titles. Just 2/3 titles arent reasonable to put them above Minions. But if they keep winning and win the Olympic then yes.
Not sure why you said that. He has more natural physical talent than LCW. Mentally though, LCW is outstanding from the beginning. Watched him in 2004 and instantly can tell the attitude is different and better than most players on court.
I forgot minions have 2 AE titles, but yeah I guess they need olympic gold too to really put them above minions.
This AE Final will only have 3 nationalities. Is this the least ever since SS era. I think 2021 AE has more countries despite INA being banned and CHN not competing.
