Yeah , they got relatively easy draw but hard not to think that its just a sympathy victory for Endo at the end of the day. Effective against minions but hard to bag titles and even almost lost it. Crazy huh..actually v lucky its Yuta that is serving in the end.. imagine its 19-19 and endo serving.
My marks for today (out of 10) Watanabe - 9.5 Endo - 7.5 Gideon - 8 Kevin - 6 Play hard. Train harder.
Yuta is crazy good man, when he try to challenge kevin in the fast pace game at like 17-16 or something and win it, it makes me goosebumps somehow. I've been a fan of him since all japan final in 2016, hope he get an ever better partner after the olympics.
I think ahsan/hendra is just not 100% in this tournament, they barely survive against unknown pair in the first round, they play a rubber game again in the second round.
in the end , lets accept that it is Endo blessings to win this tournament , everyone deserves their moment. after this, there is so much to worry about. like Covid and all. Swear this is like the last sporting event i can watch this month..
Stayed up for Endo to win and was not disappointed. Very good, god tier badminton by both teams. Any other pair against Minions in this final would have been disposed of in 2 straight games with not much entertainment.
Hahahaha did you see endo/yuta body language when they're lifting to MFG/KSS ? calm as cucumber, it's like they're lifting to some junior players, no afraid at all. 6-2 record against the world number 1, let's take the gold in tokyo.
This match just proving it yet again that MFG/KSS are not gonna survive in LYD and Cai/Fu era. if they're already frustated against yuta/endo can you imagine if they play peak LYD/JJS ? or Cai/Fu ? or even KKK/TBH ? lol
Its sport, cannot always be champion. Even China dont win 1 title this AE. let alone KSS/MFG just feels gideon smile when he is sitting after the match, just makes my day
These were great matches! Gonna be missing badminton tournaments and the excitement Hope everything continues again in 1 or 2 months
