🏸🇮🇩🏆 I love the scratch pairings in these tournaments.
The Kevin/Bagas blend was interesting - a bit like watching a first date from the sidelines. Sometimes it was 🔥 & sometimes awkward when they both went for same shot. But job done 👏👏👏, a win.
And Kevin smiles.

That was then, this is now!
Truthfully not everything went right, it was a hard fought win. So well done for battling through. 👏👏👏
🏸🇮🇩 It was good to see that cheeky annoying side of Kevin - pretending to play a shuttle that is obviously going out is 💯 peak Sukamuljo 🤩
A routine win in the end 💪
@insidethegames
I think you’ve chosen a really unpleasant and distasteful way to present this news.
Greysia worked hard to rebuild her career after 2012 & her qualities as an athlete and person deserve respect.

🏸🇮🇩 💪This is a little bit of film from my phone of Marcus warming up before the SF.
He battled for 3 hard sets on his dodgy ankle because that is what a champion and partner does 👏👏👏.
🏸🇮🇩 Minions 🇮🇩
2 weeks & 2 finals 👏👏👏
Well played Kevin and Marcus!
I really admire their determination to get the results they want - because we know it’s been hard.

🏸Isn’t it great to see LZJ hitting form just before Paris?
After a lot of ups and downs he’s given himself a confidence boost for the Olympics.
Credit to his team and his supporters who stay with him whatever the ‘noise’ from outside.
🏸🇲🇾🤩
Congrats friends!
Malaysia’s badminton fans have really been riding an emotional rollercoaster coaster all week.
Fantastic to see the players hold their nerve 👏👏👏. Good luck for the final.
😍wow! What a brutal demolition of Kim/Kong by the Malaysian pair 👏👏👏
Pearly and Thinaah did not step on court intending to play 60 shot rallies and it paid off 💪 Brilliant
🏸🇮🇩 I’m just in awe of these guys 🤩
3 finals in a row and still they come out fighting today💪.
At the end of the match when Kevin roared and Marcus was bathed in sweat - that was incredible 😍

and a title at a major tournament in the space of a week.
🇩🇰 🥇Viktor, still Viktor 💪
🏸🇮🇩🥇 right at the start of the match with the score 1-1, Greysia took the shuttle mid court on her backhand and pinged it cross-court into empty space. And I thought “Oh hello! You fancy this don’t you?”
That was a big moment in the game for me.

🏸🇹🇼 TAI Tzu Ying won’t be part of the Taiwan team in the Sudirman or Uber Cup.
The tournament schedule is crammed so I guess she’s choosing to streamline her commitments.

🏸🇮🇩 What I loved about the minions win was that they lost set 1 and they could’ve let the game go at that.
No one would blame them for fatigue and burnout…but they kept competing and fighting and got the win. It was hard work.
🏸🇮🇩 Breaking…on no, apparently Jojo is + for covid. Anthony is neg so far.
Really sorry to hear this. Speedy recovery & take it easy.
I don’t think this will affect permission to enter 🇬🇧 as we no longer have any legal requirements to isolate but obviously he won’t be well.
