Cai/Fu wins without fanfare. match was somewhat entertaining. keen eyes can see the flaws in it but hard to prove. perfect and efficient execution.
I really dont care whether it was acting or not (although if that was acting then they deserve the 'Oscar of Oscars' for that performance)! The intensity and body language was superb and we got to see a good badminton match. The public definitely got their money's worth. If only this would have been a three setter.... Sigh
koo kien kiet/ tan boon heong is way better than Thai pair. maybe because malaysian pair had more experience compared to Thai pair.
wow, KKK/TBH won... for a second there i thought the Thai pair were coming back strongly aand froce a 3rd set.
so far ticket player saw a somewhat one sided match and one internal CHN/CHN match. hopefully their day will be brighten up with the next 2 MD matches. Ahsan/Septano vs. Lee Yong Dae / Chung Jae Sung Fang/Lee vs. Boe/Mogensen.
Well, I don't know what happened with THA pair but maybe they got stage fright at both start of the games. But KKK/TBH doing their job fantastic as well, keep on their attacking play and not too many fancy shots. Still, like madbad said, they still tend to pull back into their defensive mode and they aren't Korean in that area. Fix those habits, they would be a strong contender, . Congrats KKK/TBH and fans, commiseration for THA fans, but still their MD future is good.
The MAS MD KKK/TBH are all pumped up and look on course to redeem themselves in this Olympics, no mean feat beating the gritty Thai pair who is in form.
