2014 is such a drama for two pairs of Men Double,
Hendra/Ahsan and YongDae/YeonSeong.
Those TOP players should meet in final stage of two
prestigious event, Indonesia Open Super Series 2014 and Asian Games Incheon
2014.
On Indonesia Open 2014 in last June, the Final match met both of pairs. It’s a must for Hendra/Ahsan to get the title because they’re the only Indonesian players who come to final, moreover they're the defending champion.
But ironic, either because the pressure of the target where they should get this title, or because of the condition of the body that doesn’t fit. They must lose in two straight sets 21-17 21-15 and upset their supporters at Istora Senayan, Jakarta.
The next match that brings them to the Final coincidentally
held in Korea, YongDae and YeonSeong’s country. It’s Asian Games Incheon 2014.
But, issues of the “Demon wind” from Air Conditioner in
venue make me worry. As the last man standing of Japan, Kenichi Tago in the
last match of Men Group said that the wind direction should change as players
swap positions, but even after changing position, the wind keep blows hard. Some
athletes say the same thing. The wind gusts were allegedly changed on purpose
to help the South Korean team. But I don’t want to think negatively. Hopefully
everything is just a coincidence.
So, on 28th September 19:00 KST finally the final match start. Since the first serve, the game was nerve wracking. Their point’s distances are always less than 3 points. But, with attacking strategy, Hendra/Ahsan securing the first set with 21-16. In the second game, the acquisitions of points are equally tight. But, YongDae/YeonSeong took the second set and force to rubber with the same points with the first game 21-16.
On the third game, LYD/YYS keep leading the score. Just in some times, Hendra/Ahsan lead by 1 point. The situation becomes tense in 17-17 points. But, at that time LYD/YYS did some errors that make their points stuck in 17 until Hendra / Ahsan get their first match point and directly get the next 1 point that bring them to be the Gold medalist in Asian Games 2014.
I’m sooooooo Happy!!! When the match on going, I keep
praying and said “Make them win please, they must avenge the defeat in
Indonesian Open in front of his own people!!”, I’m so bad. xD
But, that’s happen. Although during the game I was breathing hard and almost made my heart fall out, but I'm super-duper HAPPY!!! This is what kind of match that I want, struggle in gain each point, tight acquisition of points, but win at the end.
Moreover, they had just become a father. And Ahsan has just recovered from dengue fever which made him unable to participate in WBC 2014. I call them “Super Daddies”, they’re handsome, talented, great father.
