Talking about consistency ... ZB/GL swept 5 titles since they paired up about half a year ago (AG, MO, KO, GO, AE). However, they were already established XD players with their respective former partners before they paired up while TBH was uninspiring when he was partnering HCH. Therefore, I still consider KKK/TBH's achievement far more astonishing.
yup, for like the gazellion time LOL. But he should, I mean, after so long. From Zheng Bo's expression, you can't even tell he just won the All England. He can be good at poker!
Zheng Bo and Gao Ling are the true champions, even though they were not playing at their best still managed to find way to win. The turning point was on game 2 while UK was leading 17-16, 3 untimely error froms Clark. Give Kellogg and Clark credit, they played hard and almost won, opportunity was certainly there. If you think Koo Kean Kiat and Tan Beng Hong creat history by winning so many titles in such a short amount of time after teaming together then Zheng Bo and Gao Ling have even achieve further as they have basically won every tournament since teaming up in Asian Games. What an achievement!!!
Gao Ling is just UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! Usually it's the men who are dominant in mixed doubles, but not in her case, she is simply exceptional!!!
Gao is is the ONE!.. Even better than LinDan or even other players in the Chinese Team. She got Heart of Steel and Stamina of a Horse.
Yes, she was the difference in the whole match, Kellogg/Clark did pretty well overall except the untimely errors. Chinese strategy was quite clear, force the UK formation to side-by-side and attack Kellogg and won most of the points there. I still think Robertson/Emms is the better UK mixed team than Clark/Kellogg.
Oh ya, I almost forgot about the live scoring after so in tune with RTM live streaming! OK, will sustain another hour before I go to bed, Pi boleh!
I made this point in my earlier posting ... I think it's not fair to compare ZB/GL and KKK/TBH. TBH is afterall a relative newcomer to the world-class players' club while ZB & GL were already established XD players with their respective former partners before they paired up, i.e., their foundation as world-class players are already in place. That's why I still consider KKK/TBH's achievement more astonishing.
Actually, I think I need to commend on RTM this time for the good live feed. I've never appreciate RTM up until today.
