The current Malaysian pair they face today is very strong. After them is the Chinese pair that beat them this year in the Thomas cup - pretty badly too even though they won one game. Also having seen their first couple of games - they are not looking like the Sat-Chi of last year or the year before. Too many unforced errors and too defensive.

 

Not surprised. Too many errors as seen in the prev games. They are not the same pair from the last 2 yrs.

Another medal hope done & dusted. 

[Gollum]

Chokers, terrible day for us.

We cannot lose to this pudgy Malay guy

he has tormented us before. 

These 2 randomly go off the boil sometimes and clutch it out at other times eg Asian games. Big setback at any rate, they were genuine medal contenders.

[bharathh]

I wouldn't call it a choke. They just weren't there skill wise (or fitness wise). 

[LordPrabhzy]

so just Prannoy/Sen and Sindhu left?

Until the govt and sports ministry invests on mental conditioning coaches for our athletes and players, we can kiss winning significant medals goodbye. We are a weak inferior race, full of terrible chokers.

Sindhu will lose in her next round. She isn't the Sindhu of old. Only hope is Lakhsya tbh.

Yeah and Sindhu has looked finished for quite some time.

[nitinbwj]

I thought they will close the game after 14-11. They choked instead

It is 100% a choke, nothing to do with fitness or skills. You don't make school boy errors at this level, so many unforced errors, missing in service itself, even sending service over head to be a foul. These are nothing to do with skills, even a school boy can do these things.

This was a proper kela choke.

Yes and both will lose in the next round

[Gollum]

Prannoy looks like Kela, so go Lakshya.
