The touch at the net and domination of the short, quick exchanges were very much in keeping with the Daddies’ style, and Goh and Izzuddin executed it to perfection, although, faced with the quality of Kim Won Ho and Seo Seung Jae, it was a hard-fought battle. The Koreans stretched the contest to a third but the Malaysians were right on the money when it mattered.
Incidentally, with Setiawan having timed his retirement for next week, the Malaysians paid tribute to their icon.
“Our idols are Hendra and Ahsan. We have consciously tried to pick up their style of play,” said Goh.
