Masterclass by ahsan/hendra. I don't think endo/yuta can beat them tomorrow, ahsan/hendra have many more weapon compared to minions and none of them can be exploited like gideon.
No, but every player deserves chance and every fans probably deserve a better Final.. the fact that EndoW won all their group matches , by that virtue they deserve to be in Final.m All INA final will be boring right? hehe..
So having a great chance of winning is less important then fellow country winning. I guess ahsan must be delighted then that kevin win the title against him. OK understood.
Anything can happen. I guess endo/watanabe confidence must be super sky high since they not only beat but actually thrash kevin/ Gideon. And also the fact that watanabe actually did well against in mixed as well. This one could be a different beast.
as a partner sukamuljo is the worst, since he is just an overgrown child emotionally, Gideon is much better player from the back, but makes lots of mistakes from front/middle, may be due to the fact that he always feels pressure to over perform and not to disappoint his 'better' partner, who always makes childish faces after mistake instead of support and encouraging, it is difficult to play with better but emotionally unstable partner....
Actually if I were endo/watanabe, there is really no reason to fear ahsan based on this record. In fact I would think they will be super motivated this time. https://bwfbadminton.com/player/527...51074&team2_player1=54026&team2_player2=58240
So many criticisms on minions when they lose.. And all the speculation. Yet every year they still win the most titles. Minions can't win every game, and after 3 years.. Surely someone will find ways to beat them..and amazingly it took 3 years and even so they still win 8 titles. I didn't expect them to dominate MD for this long... So I think despite what everyone says about Kevin and Marcus, I think they know how to deal with each other well, and hopefully they will come out stronger next year in time for Olympics... Cheers
How i wish gideon can showed that he's the better player from the back today, he can't even hit a winner more than once from there meanwhile kevin hit like 5-6 winners or even more..
Also it might be possible daddies lost on purpose yesterday, knowing that being top of the group they have a chance to meet minions in semis. Losing and placed second guarantees they will not meet minions..??
They are WR1 so of course they are the most compatible and able to withstand the barrage of different pairs. Breaking them up means the psychological H2H will be gone. Of course pairs keep changing , unlike in Singles discipline. Even EndoWatanable is relatively new pairs. Id want to know to who else EndoW lost to this year. If they are so good, they wouldnt have lost the German pair.
Gotta agree with this. Just watch the first few points..is so damn. Even when they win G2, they dont look happy or energised, just see Kevin face. Attitude looks silly like they cant handle losing to EndoW and de appreciate everything they achieved.
Looking at the way they played, it's obvious that they lost on purpose. I actually thought it was fixed at one point.
So I guess losing the German pair means suddenly they are not so good anymore. Nice logic. Can really see the infatuation with endo/watanabe. This will not happen if they did not beat Gideon twice right? Well I guess since they are not in the top 5 in the world rankings, they are not that "great".
Think they lack consistency.. while watching Kevin is a pa** in the a** today. I dont think sports can always be like what u want ( unless if you are LD)
So in your way, it’s to avoid same group repeated matchups at the cost of a group winner may play another group winner in SF? I hardly see that’s a better solution.
