Chew/Choong, Luluk/Alven, Chandra/Sigit loss were all on a very single purpose....
To promote the game in USA and eventually the world....
U can see very obviously that all those players still attack and smash Tony
Gunawan quite frequently though they know Tony has the very very very solid defense and almost impenetratetable....they seldom attack Howard and also if they attack howard, howard cant really answer most of the shot...
Furthermore.....u can see in luluk and alven game...they can return howard smash very easily by sending it to the other side of the court and cause howard to use backhand to retrieve it....and there were a few times....in the final game...chandra and were acting too slow and play as if tony was not there and chandra lift the shuttle too high...i haf never see chandra play such game in my life...
Furtehrmore, u can see howard's service is slightly higher than many world standard double player....thier opponent juz let it and did not kill the shuttle straight away(especially in the game versus denmark world no1 pair)....Meanwhile, in the final, indonesia pair of chandra and sigit is not under any pressure at all....they have been playing for so many many final and also face much more bigger and vociferous crowd before....besides that..the final was purposely lengthened to three games to make the crowd in california feel the adrenaline pumping and thus make them feel badminton is indeed very very exciting and worthwile to watch...
if we really want to play a real game...i think zhang jun n gao ling also can beat tony and howard....howard will definitely haf no answer for zhang jun smash...and the fast gao ling is ready to kill any half court shuttle
If howard n tony were to lose in final....i dont think badminton popularity will rise at all in usa....
well....IBF...indeed...this is a very good way to promote badminton by planning all these matches!!!!!!!! i am happy because badminton is getting more and more famous in USA...HOOOOOOOORAYYYYYY......and mayb u can see the tournament prize will increase!!! who knows....to 1 million like in tennis championship.
