match report on Taufik vs. Dabeka On paper, Taufik appeared to be the clear cut favorite for the match. We’ll see how top Canadian shuttler fares against Olympic and World Champion. The Badminton Blog - Taufik vs. Dabeka
TH was struggling against lower ranked player....not good sign! Probably LD could finish him easily if they happen to meet....
Another unconvincing performance by Flandy Limpele/Vita Marissa as they trail Kristoff Hopp/Birgit Overzier 8-11 in the rubber set.
Taufik Hidayat has always taken it lightly against lesser opponents like Andrew Dabeka. He just managed to win the match 21-19 in the rubber-set.
Not likely will happen. Even though TH's playing was not good against a below-his-class player, if he play LD, the result can't be predicted yet. Cos... they have another thing in the match... something like ego, who is the best among them, personal thing, etc (I just can't describe it well in English ). At least, TH will play his best if he meet LD, for sure.
