Chinese Taipei is not a random opponent in Thomas Cup this edition. They have one of the best men’s doubles in the world right now which is Lee Yang / Wang Chi-lin.
Lee / Wang is a gold medalist at the Tokyo Olympics. On the way to winning the gold medal, they had beaten Kevin / Marcus in the group stage.
Although Lee / Wang will be tough opponents, especially for Fajar / Rian. Rionny Mainaky is optimistic that the Red and White representatives can fight or even win.
“With a slow ball, it is impossible for the opponent to continue to rely on strength and speed,” said Rionny Mainaky in a PBSI release, Wednesday (13/10/2021).
“Therefore, the strategy of the double pair game that we will play must be able to dampen and invite slow play. Lee/Wang’s attacks are certainly not as fast as in the Tokyo Olympics,” said Rionny.
