MEN'S SINGLES
Lin Dan vs Lee Chong Wei (MATCH OF THE DAY) -- a repeat of last year's final. I think LCW can win yet again in front of the home crowd.

MEN'S DOUBLES
Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari/Lin Woon Fui vs Chan Choong Ming/Koo Kien Keat -- an All-Malaysian Final....just what Rexy wants...in front of the fanatical home support. CCM/KKK to win!

WOMEN'S SINGLES
Zhang Ning vs Tracey Hallam -- can lightning strike thrice? Tracey has done the impossible task of beating Pi Hongyan and now Xie Xingfang. Can she beat Zhang Ning tomorrow?

WOMEN'S DOUBLES
Gao Ling/Huang Sui vs Du Jing/Yu Yang -- boring as always..and its likely going to be an All-China Final again next week.

MIXED DOUBLES
Zhang Jun/Gao Ling vs Jonas Rasmussen/Britta Andersen -- Zhang/Gao should be too strong for the Danes.

it's chan chong ming....not choong

I am not so sure about LCW. He would need to step up another gear. Lin Dan is the kind of player who learns well from past mistakes and does very good preparations. LCW should learn from the defeat by Gade during the Thomas Cup 2006 and realize that once his game gets read well by his opponent, he would better increase gear or change plans quick.

it's chan chong ming....not choong

I find it really sometimes weird pronouncing his name because it is so close to mine that I sometimes feel that I am calling myself. :D

That day at SO2006 when I called out to him for autograph, I was momentarily like "huh?". :p

Lee Chong Wei... Well, it's tricky to think who will win... I cant stop thinking that Lin Dan has the bigger chance, but i do hope lee chong wei will prove me wrong tomorrow...

KKK/CCM are to win men's double title... Im happy for them...

But this also would be Mohd n Lin best tournament in their career.. Defeating LWW and CTF is somthing I didnt expect.. That was just way beyond fantastic

Rexy Mainaky has nurtured 4 strong MAS doubles. If I'm not wrong, this hasn't been achieved before in Malaysian badminton history. I should want to lobby Rexy for the Datukship!

Malaysia's MD looks promising!

I hope Tracey beats ZN tomorrow, we need a change...:)

Honestly, i think in the current form watching lcw ply, lin dan will most likely be able to beat him.

I hope Tracey beats ZN tomorrow, we need a change...:)

But i think its quite unlikely..... ZN is sort of unbeatable right now.....:p

Honestly, i think in the current form watching lcw ply, lin dan will most likely be able to beat him.

Ya dont think lcw is in his best shape now... hope that he will recharge soon and play his normal game.
All the best to him tomorrow!;)

Disagree... In fact LinDan is the one with the least improvement out of all the top players... everyone is catching up to him while he hasn't made any improvement to maintain the margin... other players like Taufik or Gade are constantly exploring new skills and improvement.. and lately they advanced to bizzare backhand smash... The margin to beating LD is getting closer and closer each time when a familiar players met him.. this is evident especially matches against Gade

I hope Tracey beats ZN tomorrow, we need a change...:)Ya,this is a good sign to to the women badminton.A new face is began to appear now.Before this,i am really worried about women badminton coz all the competition is china win.Now,other country also starting to became stronger.I hope it will have something new in the uber cup in the coming year.I doubt evryone will feel boring coz we only mentioned about ZN and XXF all the moment.

LCW should learn from the defeat by Gade during the Thomas Cup 2006 and realize that once his game gets read well by his opponent, he would better increase gear or change plans quick.Well,actually their grade and skill are similiar to each other.So, they are two same well players. Actually this all depend to how the player perform in the court.Its hard to predict who will win this title coz i feel this time LCW is also well prepared,don't think he can't beat LD.I have 100% faith toward him.No matter what,tomorow match surely will be very exciting and fantastic.

He beat everybody in the last Thomas Cup remember? And he beat everybody so far in the malaysia open so far. That has to be improvement, isn't it?

Improvements are not necessarily some new fancy strokes, it can also be the way he handles the game and opponents.

Of course I have no doubt any of them can beat the other. Performance at that instance is what I always believe matters. Of the two, I would like LCW more but he is not in top form recently, so I hope he step up a gear for the final.

Of the two, I would like LCW more but he is not in top form recently, so I hope he step up a gear for the final.Ya, i totally understand what you are saying.Everyone need to always step infront and continue to do their best,we cannot think to highly of ourself when we win or give up when we lose.However,lets us wait for their match tomorow.

All the best to LCW. I hope he can defend his title. Even though he is not in top form, this is MO we are talking about and he is going to have all the spectators behind him. Malaysian supporters have a way to turn our local players into 100% top form and, watch out LD, your nervous system will overload like last year during the match. :rolleyes: :D

off topic but his name is actually 李崇伟 , which is "chong" for 崇。

Yes, she really need that. How old is she? In my mind, she played badminton for long time already. Is she considering to retire?

Is LCW chinese name, 李宗伟 or 李崇伟？
People in China called him 李崇伟 if u all noticed.

is 李宗伟 .............................

Wildstone right or wynn000 right???

Well, ppl will pronounce my name wrongly if my second n third name sticks together, chinese names are different, i dont really my name to be like dat... it's weird..

I prefer Zhao Ting Ting, i think chinese names shouldnt make up like english names

I watched the match betweem Tracy Halam and Xie Xingfang. Xie was overconfident and paid the price. Tracy, on the other, was playing intelligently - congratulations to her.

LCW is close to his best. If my guess is right, he should win against Lin Dan tomorrow. LCW has been holding back so far but watch for an explosive LCW against Lin Dan tomorrow.

In Singapore and Malaysia, ppl still split their names because most are using their dialect names..and dialect names dont sound good if they are put together. In China, ppl tend to put their names together because they are already in HanYu...like Zhao Jianhua or Zhang Yimou. Just preferences.

Honestly, i think in the current form watching lcw ply, lin dan will most likely be able to beat him.

Yes, that is what i am thinking too. He is not in form, if he perform like this. I believe LD will win. Hopefully, he can find his form and give LD at least a good figh. Go go LCW !!!

Well I speaketh the truth:cool:

LCW, cai yun and lee hyo jung seems to be wearing them: shb99 new colour [posterior dark blue band - use to be red/maroon (M) and light blue (L)]

(someone asked...possibly in another thread)

I hope KKK n CCM do not take their opponents lightly... Dont wanna end up with a tradegy like XXF...

Since Mohd/Lin defeated LWW/CTF, they have got to be something

That's what I asked before.
Is this colour out in the market now?

Yes, she really need that. How old is she? In my mind, she played badminton for long time already. Is she considering to retire?

Tracey is about the same age of ZN...dunno she is going to retire o not, but she put up a good show today....2 old lady to play, :D

Anyway, I will cheer for ZN n LCW tomorrow....and they will hear my voice, shouting 'jia you' n MALAYSIA BOLEH!!!

I hope young pair will prevail over KKK/CCM. This will be breakthrough for them before WC. Personally, I have a feeling that LD will beat LCW this time. LD is more consistent and mentally very strong.

Nope.. But I think I have freaked the neighbours out... I was just yelling like hell

You should hope your favourite player wins or the better player wins. Saying you hope China wins is kind of nationalistic. Nationalistic behaviour makes people irrational.

LCW is close to his best. If my guess is right, he should win against Lin Dan tomorrow. LCW has been holding back so far but watch for an explosive LCW against Lin Dan tomorrow.

Shouldn't we also look from the coaches' angle, for example the flexibility of the tactical plans used since this in essence will determine tommorrow's winner?

You should hope your favourite player wins or the better player wins. Saying you hope China wins is kind of nationalistic. Nationalistic behaviour makes people irrational.

Sport has always involved nationalistic... It's almost impossible to ask ppl just hoping ur favourite player to win... Everyone has this patriotism in his/her heart, Its just dat how u overlook it... Nothing wrong to be a nationalistic freak

You really got me...

LCW better step up tomorrow. Lindan is going to fight for the title.

Lin Dan will fight for the title tomorrow, if not for himself, then for Fangfang. :)

Lin Dan will fight for the title tomorrow, if not for himself, then for Fangfang. :)

At last!!!!!!!

This MO 2006 thread before the final really boring. Not many members log in here and gave their comment. But now, even before the final begin, it already reach 4 pages.

Tomorrow lots of LCW fans and LD haters will flock in this thread. :D

May the best players win.

My Pick:

MS : Lin Dan

WS: ZN

MD: KKK/CCM

WD: GL/HS

XD: ZJ/GL Dobel title for GL.

Why would anyone hate Lin Dan? He plays well and he never do anything really bad both on and off the court. He never act rudely arrogant against his opponents during a game, he never shout like crazy whenever he wins a point, he never blames losses on injuries, I have not heard him sign autograph with an expressionless face or refused autographs without a reason, he never tell people "see you at world championship" all the time, he didn't have a lot of girlfriends and play around with women, and hey, he didn't even marry the daughter of some rich and powerful man! :D

All he did was quietly play his game and became world number 1. He's definitely one of the last to be hated. :p

Despite that, I hope LCW win. The guy deserves more titles for his hardwork.

LD or LCW, it'll be a good match...enjoy

I agree with your pick.

In my opinion, LCW lacks that 'court charisma' that Lin, TH and Gade has while in court, I don't know why...

Hmm, for the WS, surprised to see it's Tracey Hallam(upsetting XXF) vs. ZhangNing...:rolleyes:

What is the match oder will be in the final. Will it the same as the Semi? Someone pls provide if u know the schedule..tq

Did you people notice that LCW had been calm in his matches and not showing a lot of feelings ?

I think he has seen the head shrinker and he has put him in that 'mood' - relaxed and not nervous. It may be working for him.

When you are relaxed, you tend to make less errors. If Lin Dan beats LCW today, he is a champion but I think LCW will retain his title. Home ground does a lot for the player and I think Lin Dan would feel it today when he plays LCW.

I think the Chinese would be a despaired lot when they board the plane -- no titles (well maybe just the WS, if Tracy loses). It is just hard to fight the Malaysians in their kampungs!

:D

aiyoh bro EastDevil ........ you are referring to TH ....... lol.

btw where got China star-players made sensation ? ......... all are quite, from Han Jian era, Sun Jun era till now Lin Dan era ........ all are quite mah ..... once talk too much then it will be sacked out .......

You may rude in the court coz it's yours ........

I wished to see a player as like Poul Eric who ever made badminton a different game or Iie Sumirat who always jump as like a kid if win the game ...... this very rare ...... very entertain .....

I don't hate Lin Dan but i dislike the way he makes me feel he is very arrogant in court. Anyway, i still enjoy his skill and ability in the court.

Everybody have their own observation eventhough have their own feel about the players they like or dislike.
Lin Dan made you felt that he is arrogant in court, how about our Malaysia players like Choong Tang Fook and Koo Kien Kiat? Are they very "humble" when they showed their fist to the opponent and their attitude in court???

On the other hand, don't you think our Malaysia players ONLY can performance at home crowd? Just look back their performance in Indonesia & Singapore Open recently?

Of course, we can't judge the players just by no performance in one or two tournaments BUT "History & Result" seems like showing that Malaysia squad always is "JUARA KAMPUNG"....

As a Malaysian, I support Malaysia. I did not denied their skill and also is not an issue about lose or win! But I hope you may just stand as neutrality position and really study & look at our Malaysia squad, what is actually heppened to our players?

Is not their skill is lag behind others BUT is their mentality and attitude problem. Come to "History & Result", could you tell me how many tournament titles they won (except those 3* tournament, Malaysia Open and those tournament when all the top players not participated)?

How much government spent on them for 2006 Thomas Cup preparation (Don't forget, the money is tax payor's money)... Eventually, what is the result? (I did not say they must win the Thomas Cup BUT at least show the fighting spirit)

Hafiz has won All England men's single title in 2003, after that how is his performance? He is a very talented & skilful player BUT attitude & mentality aspect? Just look at the game in Thomas Cup semi final he played with Kenneth Jonassen!!!

I am not expected CCM/KKK become "super hamble", BUT they showed their fist to the opponent and shout at their opponent is a FACT. I have recorded many of their games, if you really analyse then you can find out our players attitude & mentality problem.

No doubt, CCM/KKK is a very good double players in term of skill BUT to success in badminton game (not only badminton but also other sports), its required many of other factors to be succesful.

Well KaSoon, in a way you are right but unless you knw the behind the scenes then it is best for you to just give your support to the players.....as for the Thomas Cup finals, instead on venting you frustration in the forum, maybe you should write to Datuk Azalina to ask what went wrong....since as you put it, it is taxpayers money. Or better still, request a Royal Commission.

You talk abt their mental attitude, but what do you expect....its our culture....it is a fact that malaysians have the 'tidak apa' attitude....and this starts from home......i mean would you let your 8 yr old kid practise for 8 hrs a day......i am sure some parents would think you are crazy if you do....but that is exactly what they do in China.....

In Malaysia, we do not have a 'production' line of badmnton players unlike China. Thts why sometimes complacency comes into play. But believee it or not, 'policitics' is the no. 1 factor.

CCM/KKK do shout at their opponent and pump their fist when they win a point. But there is no law in badminton that says they cant do it. As long as they don't pump their fist at the opponent then its ok......If you are a sports person, you would knw that when your adrenalineis pumping you do different things....it is not a show of disrespect....afterall, adrenaline is the 'stongest' drug in the world.......

Sometimes in court, you have to be arrogant.....look at all the top players....lindan is so arrogant in court with his winning salute....but out of court, he is a 'pussy'....... same goes to peter gade........

That is mental strength is a way......so before we start critiscising the players, lets look at all the different factors first....


Whoever is going to win today's finals is whoever that will play and perform better at match time......form books count for nothing.......

Frankly speaking, BAM is the party that need to be criticised.....do you know that prior to the Thomas cup, the players do not have access to a masseuse, nutritionist and psychologist....

Jessica & ksooi, thank you very much for the observation. In fact, i am not venting my angry & frustration to Malaysia players.

With the 'TIDAK APA' attitude & culture, that's why i never & did not expected much from our players. Is just want to put my personal obersvation that, if Malaysia players want to be success then they should change.

If not mistaken, under the badminton game rules, a player is not allowed to show their disrespect way & shouting to the opponent (correct me if i am wrong). But shout at own is allowed because this can make a player be roused to action.

However, just like what you said, "Whoever is going to win today's finals is whoever that will play and perform better at match time......form books doesn;t count...." Let's wait & see the result.

Its quite unfair to criticise all malaysian player's has bad attitude by refering to their results in tournaments. Our training facilities is not as good as other (eg. china), talent pool is not as big..... but we do hv the most hardworking players like LCW, WCH..... especially LCW, look at him.... his physical build is so small and yet his came out becoming 1 of the most feared player in the world badminton scene.... i think he really put alot of hard work in it and really worked much more harder than anyone else.

p.s. He does have a different kind of charisma which separates himself from taufik, lindan.... i think is he look real cool and patient on court and humble... maybe thats why we luv him....

ok, guys and gals........please be ready for the match in few mins.
Also, please keep on update the scores as the streaming seems not very stable. Many thanks.

As a matter of fact, LCW wasn't even suppose to be in the national team if not for Morten Frost Hansen. It was MFH tht spotted him and ask BAM to include him in the juniors.....and i think it was within a year that LCW became the No. 1 junior at tht time...the rest is history...... :) :) :)

anyone notice the schedule prior to the start? if i'm not mistaken it's only showing for an hour!!! i hope i'm blind!!

Here is the million-dollar question. Why only LCW put in a lot of hardwork? I can deduce from your comment that LCW is able to perform and train hard despite not-as-good training facilities. So, what happened to the other players? Do these other players who does not put in a lot of hardwork deserve unweavering support too even though they are lazier?

Has the finals started yet? Any live scores from any1 watching?

Wow, seems my message just now have evoke anger of certain members, sorry if i did so, but i din mean to accuse anyone. That is what i felt only, don take it so serious, and so sorry to the Lin Dan fans.
I did not said that that CTF and KKK was humble or they are arrogant. For me, I like Peter Gade who always smile even he is having a hard games, or maybe he din smile .
It maybe a technique to be arrogant as badminton involve a little bit mental strength.

MEN'S SINGLES
Lin Dan vs Lee Chong Wei (MATCH OF THE DAY) -- a repeat of last year's final. I think LCW can win yet again in front of the home crowd.

MEN'S DOUBLES
Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari/Lin Woon Fui vs Chan Choong Ming/Koo Kien Keat -- an All-Malaysian Final....just what Rexy wants...in front of the fanatical home support. CCM/KKK to win!

WOMEN'S SINGLES
Zhang Ning vs Tracey Hallam -- can lightning strike thrice? Tracey has done the impossible task of beating Pi Hongyan and now Xie Xingfang. Can she beat Zhang Ning tomorrow?

WOMEN'S DOUBLES
Gao Ling/Huang Sui vs Du Jing/Yu Yang -- boring as always..and its likely going to be an All-China Final again next week.

MIXED DOUBLES
Zhang Jun/Gao Ling vs Jonas Rasmussen/Britta Andersen -- Zhang/Gao should be too strong for the Danes.
Now playing women's doubles. Du Jing/Yu Yang won the first set, now playing the second set also...serving at 12-11..

Players showing emotions on court are normal. They have to put their game face on and some time have to shout in order to uplift themselves. It is not rude to do that unless you are shouting vulgar words to the opponent. However sometimes they do give their opponent a kind of "stare". Anyway all these happenes on court. When after the game , everything goes back to normal. These kind of players whoever they are that you think is rude, they are not rude. I know them well enought to tell u that they are not that kind of person you think they are. End of discussion.. lets get back to the game. :)

I totally agreed, we are all human. To err is to human. I knew them personally as well.:D :D :D
I see tennis players tends to be more gentlemen.
Just curious on having drummers in the hall, do you think this is a good thing? I saw it in sin open where there are drummers upstairs and wonder if it put off some of the local players. Do they train with drums?:D :D

What's Next? MS match?

Wah, GL and partner truly unbeatable. well done. I think XXF is not match fit for the semi. Her last tough competitive games was in thomas cup finals I think. She always look overconfident when she's losing.:D :D

LDW and Lindan Match will be something like last year. Hope LCW can maintain the form. Lindan will sure be aiming for revenge. Go Malaysia!:D Jangan takut ya. Hentam sahaja.:D :D

I don't mind who will win in other events. My only concern is can LCW defend his title? I'm not giving him any pressure. I just want him to beat Lin Dan and defend the title. I don't mind LCW lose to other players as long as he beat Lin Dan. Hehehe I hope LinDan will not read this... if he does.. i will surely have alot of explaning to do. Ahhah...

Why do a lot of people want LCW to defend his title and beat Lin Dan??
is it becos lin dan just wins too much???

Wow,ecxiting moment coming, MS,really nervous,This is sure a fantastic game.Are you all ready.

I think i will be fully concentrating on the match, so anyone out there want to do the updating? :D

Oh dear! i can sense some arguement inside Malaysia camp even before LCW plays against LD!

Oh man.. the whole Nation is waiting for this match.

yes..pls be kind to update if u can :) go lee chong wei!

1st: Lindan 7 : LCW 3
it's looks like lcw made lots of mistake

lin dan leading 11 : 7

Lin Dan 13:8 LCW

Lin Dan leads 11-7 at the interval. LCW makes too many errors...with net or out of court returns. Lin Dan is also contented to let LCW attack..probably to drain his energies. Lin himself only attacks once or twice..but he always get the points.

Meanwhile, Lin Dan is now questioning a dubious line call...called in by the linesman. The referee upholds the decision.

A few more errors by LCW makes it 13-8.

Lin Dan 13:12 LCW

Lin Dan 14:13 LCW

It is 14-13 (LD) now

LD smash out, now the score is 14:14

Lindan is playing cautiously. Trying to read LCW's game.

LCW 15:14 Lin Dan

LCW equalises...14-14...

The crowd is so noisy... cant hear the shuttle.

LCW 18:16 Lin Dan

LCW 20:18 Lin Dan

LCW take the 1st set 21:18

LCW 21:18 Lin Dan

Hooray LCW 21-18

Li Mao is giving LCW some pointers... LCW is doing a great job containing LinDan.

LCW takes the first set 21-18, after Lin Dan at once stage had a healthy lead of 13-8. It was Lin Dan's turn to commit errors which led to LCW surging forward when the score at 16-16. LCW took opportunity of a weak return by Lin Dan in front of the net to finish it off 21-18.

LCW 6:3 Lin Dan

Lin Dan is clearly furious by previous bad calls by the lineman and the judge. I hope he recovers from it soon.

2nd set
LCW leading 8:5

LCW 10:7 Lin Dan

doesnt look good for LD

LCW 11:9 Lin Dan

LCW is more dominant in front of the net...and he leads 11-7. Can he continue this good form?

LCW 12:12 LIn Dan

If LCW can control the netgame.. he control the match. LinDan is weak on the net. LCW have to be more deceptive.

Lin Dan 14:12 LCW

Lin Dan 15:12 LCW

LCW smashes and hit the net

The true Lin Dan comes to life after the interval. He is simply too hot and surges ahead 17-12. LCW is stuck at 12!

Clap.. Clap.. Clap. Go Lin Dan.

come on,dan dan!

oh no lee cw...good match for the audience, i supposed..if it stretches to a full 3 setter

Ld 17:15 Lcw...............

Lin Dan 20:18 LCW

oh no lee cw...good match for the audience, i supposed..if it stretches to a full 3 setter

that will be great!:)

Lin Dan 21:18 LCW set two.

LD takes second set 21-18

Not much of attack from both side.

We will miss the rubbber set.......RTM will break for 1/2 hour news........please RTM delay the news.......

An out of court return by LCW means that Lin Dan wins the second set 21-18. LCW lost his concentration after the interval, which led to Lin Dan surging ahead in the last stage. A pity...but it's a very good match. LCW still can win!

RTM sux...haha, so inflexible with their news. Is it like a dedicated news channel or something?

We will miss the rubbber set.......RTM will break for 1/2 hour news........please RTM delay the news.......
Heheh other news are more important than badminton news.

LCW 10:11 Lin Dan

Lin Dan was ahead 9-4..but LCW reeled off 5 consecutive points to level it 9-9. The Chinese still leads 11-10 at the interval. Can LCW make it?

LCW 11:14 Lin Dan

LCW must attack more.. force Lindan to lift the shuttle.

LCW 12:19 Lin Dan

LCW 13:20 Lin Dan

LCW 19:20 LIn Dan

Classic battle indeed! I hope someone will record this match and post it up. The home crowd keep LCW going. Even if LCW lose.. he deserve the applaud by the way he played in this match. Full control and he is very calm. Will give him a call later.

wow...lin dan really showed disrespect....he refused to put on the 'cap'

walau...y lin dan give tat kind of reaction...dun like him man...

final score? anyone? pls?

Final Score 21:18 / 18:21 / 23:21 in favour to LCW.

From TV, I see LD not so sporting. Refused the head dress and took off his medal immediately at medal presentation. Not so good attitude from a champion.

No respect for local culture.:crying:

CW lost to LD in AE narrowly too, but did not show this sort of attitude.

whoa....was amazing....lin dan refuse to wear the headband given to him at the victory ceromony...very rude

walau...y lin dan give tat kind of reaction...dun like him man...

totally 100% agree with u

that was pretty poor sportsmanship from LD. at the presentation ceremony LD took the medal off his neck and sort of refused to wear the headwear (don't know what it's called). was booed by the crowd and rightly so

ya!! n he immediately took off his medal too...
he was jus not happy tat he lost...wat the...

lin dan was really unsportmanship manner...he should be a shame of it

Very interesting to see Lin Dan rejected the wearing of the 'hat' when offered during the prize giving ceremony... Guess he is really upset..

Well you can't blame him.. he played hard and lose.. he is vey dissapointed and pissed i'm sure.

LinDan is such a loser, he wouldn't wear the medal, the hat and take photos with the prize money thingy!!!

wow...lin dan really showed disrespect....he refused to put on the 'cap'


yeah....
I think he is very upset

Very exciting game!

Wow...a dramatic finale...and as what the commentator said..."Magic!" Lin Dan was so far ahead at match point, leading 20-14. Yet, LCW picked up one point by one point until it was 20-20. The crowd was hysterical at this point! Lin Dan still managed to get one more match point when a return by LCW was called out. However, LCW was still as calm as before and he levelled it. Then, he won the match when Lin Dan misjudged a long return by LCW. Lin was furious and walked off the court without shaking hands. What a loser...

During the match presentation, Lin Dan was clearly pissed off and he took off the medal after it was placed on his neck. He was booed off subsequently. Again, a bad sportmanship by a Chinese player after yesterday's incident! This is also one of the reason I don't like players such as Taufik or Lin Dan. They are just too arrogant and sometimes display very very bad sportmanship. They simply don't want to accept the fact that they have lost. Players such as LCW, Sony, Kenneth, Peter Gade, and even Chen Hong are better in this aspect!

Why would anyone hate Lin Dan? He plays well and he never do anything really bad both on and off the court. He never act rudely arrogant against his opponents during a game, he never shout like crazy whenever he wins a point, he never blames losses on injuries, I have not heard him sign autograph with an expressionless face or refused autographs without a reason, he never tell people "see you at world championship" all the time, he didn't have a lot of girlfriends and play around with women, and hey, he didn't even marry the daughter of some rich and powerful man! :D

All he did was quietly play his game and became world number 1. He's definitely one of the last to be hated. :p

Despite that, I hope LCW win. The guy deserves more titles for his hardwork.

Hi Mike....just by seeing Lin Dan in today's match against Lee Chong Wei gives me and many others many reasons to dislike Lin Dan.... he threw his racket away after the final point.....walked off without shaking hands...... at prize ceremony.... din smile..... took off the medal straight off..... and then refused the other official to put on the ceremonial head dress for him..... wat a poor display of sportsmanship. :mad:

OMG what a great figthback LCW....you are the greatest today....
LD temper again ????
Thank you RTM...for continuing the live telecast...Lin Dan seems very angry,he take off the medal at once.Why he act like this?Really a bad attitude.He should respect this competition.He can't show his anger although he lose.

he is too upset

it was really touching match...
thumbs up for lee chong wei...it's really miracle!!

Players such as LCW, Sony, Kenneth, Peter Gade, and even Chen Hong are better in this aspect!

I agree with you on that.

I totally agreed, we are all human. To err is to human. I knew them personally as well.:D :D :D
I see tennis players tends to be more gentlemen.
Just curious on having drummers in the hall, do you think this is a good thing? I saw it in sin open where there are drummers upstairs and wonder if it put off some of the local players. Do they train with drums?:D :D
rgds

I personally hate the drums. It irritates the hell out of me.

Im disappointed with Lin Dan's attitude.... He refused to wear the medal n refused to wear our cultural hat..It's the Orang Mulu Warrior's Hat... He just didnt respect our Malaysian Culture... Other china players have worn it , well at least LIN DAN should accept it with acknowledgement, not shoving off our sarawak minister..
Im terribly disappointed with Lin Dan

Lee Chong Wei, U are a magician today..

Oh Yeah, Lin Dan didnt even want to shake hands with Lee Chong Wei too... That's the worst sportmanship i've seen on court..

Even Nathan Roberston temper looks okay to me now coz he shakes hands with players after losing a match... Nathan's temper seems to be tolerable now compares to Lin Dan's

Sorry I cant resist....... a big booooooooo to the World No. 1..........

there is something about sports that is more than winning and money, which is sportmanship. So what he is world no.1, he should be ashamed of this kind of attitude.
He was so glory (and so showing off) everytime he won matches, and he can't show some tiny little sportmanship to be a runner up ? shame.

Fully Agreed!!! I was very disappointed at such attitudes! Clear disrespect for the organizer and the local when he refused the headband! He should be fined! Again, it also confirms why I have never liked Lin Dan from the beginning! He's a very good player...too good that sometimes he just disrespects others! The same goes for Taufik! Skipping the Singapore Open with "an injury" only to be found watching the WC in Germany! I really hope someone else win the WC this year! Maybe Peter or LCW!

All his action show that he is really disrecpectful.Beside this ,i think the two of them are winner,but now,Lin Dan is totally a loser because of his attitude.but i don bother about him coz LCW have won!I hope LD can be more careful next time.If he continue to do this,more and more people will hate him.

LinDan has full confidence in this match. He wanted to Win this BADLY and of course with the bragging rights of de-throning LCW.. however his lost was unexpected in his mind. I'm sure he is not thinking right at the moment with his actions.
