00:00 Based on the interview with Astro, based on the ranking, overall we have an RTG player.
00:10 I can still say that Pearly and Tina, Pearly a week before this tournament, he was just full of back injury problems.
00:22 So we hope that he can at least make it to the final. If I see Pearly and Tina can make it to the final, I think there is a chance.
00:31 But for Aaron, Soiq, Changjai, and Toh, we have to be honest, we don't accept it.
00:45 We saw Aaron and Soiq's performance last night, they should have won. The first set was very good,
00:52 but the second set was like no one was there to watch.
00:58 We saw it, they were playing smash, like no one was there to take points.
01:05 Last night I was sitting behind him, I didn't regret that he lost to Korea, but he lost because of his own mistake.
01:15 We saw him a few times in front of the net, he was slumbering, playing smash.
01:24 So I don't know what was going on.
01:29 For Changjai and Toh, we saw from the first round to the semi-final, it was very bad.
01:38 We can't see the combination of the teamwork, especially Toiway, he can control the front, but today it was all gone.
01:52 Before the Olympics, I hope the players realize what they have to do.
02:01 We saw that in Malaysia Masters, there was no one.
02:05 So we can see that Aaron and Soiq were happy to win the title.
02:11 Changjai and Toh also have a big chance to be champions, but it was all gone.
02:20 For the other teams, we saw that they were very calm.
02:23 They were playing against Hiji Ting, but they didn't have the courage to take the decision.
02:32 For Roy and Arif, we can see that they always win the matches against their opponents.
02:47 I can say that their performance is better than the semi-final.
02:53 They were able to win the semi-final against Cedid 4 and Cedid 6.
03:01 They almost won the 3rd set and the 2nd set.
03:07 I can rate them 9 points out of 10.
03:11 I hope they can be better in the future.
03:16 I hope they can be better in the future.
03:17 To be continued...
