Tago couldn't reproduce the form that he beat LCW yesterday. Even JOJ didn't play better than he did against Chen Long but it's enough to win out Tago. Exciting, good match, yes, but not exceptional.
Jan covered in winning tears.. After Gade's unique clever allround playstyle, here comes the new danish dynamite offensive style I envy the crowd who get his Woods N-90
Both JOJ and Tago were in tears. Tears of joy for JOJ, And tears of heartbreak for Tago, scenes of 2008 Olympic final.
I don't think she gives this excuse but it was obvious to see whether it be mental or physical fitness problem that her movement today was sloppy and slow relative to previous performances. Unless LXR has some sort of hypnosis powers this was down to IR alone, and not LXR skill. It seems a problem for players of this ilk (taufik, Tago, IR) all crazy skilled from very young age but not grinders mentally. On their day they are unbeatable the next, nothing. Took Tago untill the nearing the end of the second game before he had bounce and speed in his movements, crazy.
I think KOR will win. INA pair will be under tremendous pressure to perform on home soil and may work against them.
The crowd can be a motivation or a pressure to INA doubles. But let's hope all the best KOR team may win.
