2007 Japan Open day 5 (Sept 15th) SF

[vching]

go go tine and Taufik.... win my PAWS!!!

[samuel882]

Tines was on fire to prevent all all chinese Ws final

[sherlyn]

C'mon Tine..1 more

[huangkwokhau]

YES..come on Tine..pls take 1st set

[Han]

Tine is playing well, one more point please

[Jessica]

Tine win the first set by 21-19...

[xlasher]

I told ya..... 21- 14

[badMania]

Taufik is eager to finish off the match...taking the first set 21-14. He wants to spend the rest of the afternoon shopping and eating Jap food :cool:

[supasweetnic]

oh no! lu lan lost first game.. T.T

[X Ball]

I will let the rest be the judge. Since kwun has already voiced his opinion, I am not even bothering to reply to u. Yawn..


Kwun would not know the context of what I am saying - if he reads that particular posting of yours, he would have to agree with me. Badmania, I always thought highly of you but not this time.

[ye333]

TH won 21:14 indeed!!!! Xlasher, are you time-traveling or something? :eek:

[sentosa]

if TINE won the 1st set, LL will definitely lost since she got a very bad record to win at critical points

[samuel882]

SS vs TH is looks similar as TCS vs LCW

[Jessica]

TH get the first set 21-14 hahaha
Taufik really get the first set with 21-14...:D

[mAlAn]

TH take the first set : 21 : 14

Go TH :)

[sherlyn]

Yess...gimme 5 or 10..Tine's supporters :D

[taufik-ist]

I told ya..... 21- 14

wah..... you are a paranormal :D:D tell me the score for 2nd set

[Han]

Taufik won handily, looks like Simon is a TEAM player :D

[huangkwokhau]

I think TH will win....lets prepare LCW vs TH tomorrow....I would like Tine win....

[xlasher]

It just the difference of time here... in the east the second set has started

[george@chongwei]

wow tine looks to eliminate another CHN women`s single by winning the 1st set 21-19...menwhile TH looks like going to win tis match in straight game after win 1st set 21-14 and now leading 4-0

[xlasher]

I can repdict tomorrow MS Single goin to 3 set with TH as the winner... I'm not really sure since here the second set has started

[ye333]

In the east the whole SF should be over now I guess... Please tell me the results of the remaining matches... I am an early bird and would like to go to bed soon... :D


It just the difference of time here... in the east the second set has started

[taufik-ist]

It just the difference of time here... in the east the second set has started

you live in matrix world :p

[kwun]

Kwun would not know the context of what I am saying - if he reads that particular posting of yours, he would have to agree with me. Badmania, I always thought highly of you but not this time.

regardless of who is right and who is not right, i recommend not dwell on this issue and enjoy the rest of the Japan Open.

[xlasher]

now taufik leadin' far want to take a rest early for a revenge trip tomorrow to MAS

[ye333]

4:0 in the 2nd set. Does that mean he has the stamina to speed up in the 2nd set now?

[taufik-ist]

funny thing.. th never won a netplay in 1st set ..:)

[sentosa]

this is really a big slap for LYB because his golden boy already lost and seems like the CHN team can't dominate again on this tournament

[ye333]

He is either "the one" or "the architect". :D


you live in matrix world :p

[ye333]

SS catching up 1:7 to 4:7 now.

[LI De Quan]

Did CJ ever beat LCW before? I only remember he lost in 06 HK in 3 close games.

Seems CJ is having trouble facing agile opponents. BP, LCW or even Sato.
2007 KOREA SUPER SERIES!!!!!

[sentosa]

hi XSLASHER can u also predict who's going to win the WS tommorow?

[taufik-ist]

DIdd I say some thing wrong I just predict it.. Can't a fans predict here???

you gotta watch out, xball will 'hammer' you :D:p

[xlasher]

Guys , Im still sad can't see FL VM vS NWLN

hiks.... I wanna see them play togeter

[Jessica]

Lu Lan is in trouble..Tine leading with 11-6 in the second set.

[taufik-ist]

Not going anymore since he does not know right or wrong.

Xball... calm down :cool:...

[ye333]

Leading 10:4 now.

[xlasher]

It's kinda hard because the Danish seems play good, unfortunately I can't watch it liive.... I think XXF will take it...

[huangkwokhau]

Tine is distancing herself away..15-7

[sherlyn]

C'mon Tine & TH..speed up and end the games fast..coz i'm starving now..:crying:

[huangkwokhau]

TH will win so easy....12-6

[ye333]

Lu Lan is over...

Tine is distancing herself away..15-7

[taufik-ist]

It's kinda hard because the Danish seems play good, unfortunately I can't watch it liive.... I think XXF will take it...

it will be a tight match... both are tall players :D

[ye333]

If this is his real stamina, he will have big trouble facing LCW tomorrow.

[huangkwokhau]

No why would I -- predicting is good but not statements like nobody can beat LD.
Calm Down Xball..it is just misunderstanding......lets see the match tomorrow between LCW and TH...;);)

[xlasher]

I try to predict SS he can't get more than 17 in this secong set:p:p:p

[george@chongwei]

tine rasmussen in match point..and she wins it.....tine next will meet XXF in the final 2moro

[sentosa]

EASY guys, don't worry LCW will give the title to TH tommorow because both of them are good friends right? HE HE HE.

[badMania]

At this rate, Tine Rasmussen will probably upset Xie Xingfang tomorrow after taking another Chinese scalp :cool:

[george@chongwei]

looks like simon santoso is catching up....12-14 nw

[xlasher]

Yeah see 1 europe in the Final no CHN domination aain in the WS

[ye333]

Man you are having too much pressure now. Com'on, you can do it, give us a precise score. :cool:


I try to predict SS he can't get more than 17 in this secong set:p:p:p

[Louisa]

luyi n i were clapping in front of our tv for tine....hihihi

[samuel882]

Tine is the real chinese killer now..

[wilfredlgf]

xslasher : I need the weather forecast for tomorrow - I might need to do some laundry.

[Jessica]

Tine trash Lu Lan in the second set with 21-9 and set a showdown with XXF tomorrow.I think will be exciting too.Could Tine be the china killer as she beat three china players who is Zhang Ning,JYJ and LL.

[xlasher]

Xlasher, I did not drag you into this. It was Badmania trying to badmouth me.


I see XBall. I just wondering who will be the winner tomorrow..

[ye333]

15:14 now. Now is time to go all out and widen the gap!

[sherlyn]

luyi n i were clapping in front of our tv for tine....hihihi

[xlasher]

[george@chongwei]

SS clozing the gap.....15-16 now...

[samuel882]

[Han]

Credit to Tine, even the great Camilla never beaten 3 Chinese players in a row in one tournament.

[badMania]

Taufik is just 2 points from his first SS Final now...

[Jessica]

Now Markis/Setiawan turn to play,I hope they will win and play in the final.

[xlasher]

The next are the same origin Semi Final different gendre

[samuel882]

Credit to Tine, even the great Camilla never beaten 3 Chinese players in a row in one tournament.


Dats right .. I wonder who is the last players on earth to did that before..

[taufik-ist]

i think LYB really got frustrated this time

the worst result in men team

[samuel882]

So easy warm up Games for TH ahead for the Final Showsdown with LCW

[badMania]

A nice workout for Taufik Hidayat as he beat his compatriot Simon Santoso 21-14, 21-16. Surely, this will give him enough motivation to win his first major title this year?

[xlasher]

finish 21-14 and 21-16 no more than 17

[taufik-ist]

xSLAHER is rite again.. :)

[Louisa]

Credit to Tine, even the great Camilla never beaten 3 Chinese players in a row in one tournament.

agree with u Han, but 'someone' would say....hmmm, because of so n so din play well or even out of form, or drift in the stadium is too strong...so, Tine prevails...:D:D:D

Xlasher.... by2

[X Ball]

EASY guys, don't worry LCW will give the title to TH tommorow because both of them are good friends right? HE HE HE.

Heard Taufik did not buy LCW lunch the last time -- so I think LCW will not give in to him this time.;)

[taufik-ist]

Dear Taufik,

Please do not underestimate LCW will give TH an easy win tomorrow. I believe LCW will try to win and secure his 3rd title in the SS series.Although they are good friend, in court they will be different as I believe that they want to prove who are the best among the best? Please do not make statement as if M'sian is selling the game.

Dear Taufik,

I am a Singaporean but I am a proud Malaysian supporter who will stand behind my beloved team whether rain or shine. For me, the player who is able to control the game and has a strong mental will win the game. For me, win or lose does not matter but the performance is the most important factor to me.

From:
Ayu

[badMania]

Luluk/Alvent are in control of the second set..leading 8-6.

[X Ball]

I heard they were doing The Hustle yesterday at the hotel ballroom.


It worked -- they both hustled out their opponents.:D

[badMania]

Oh man...this is looking bad for Kido/Hendra as they trail 6-11 in the second set :mad: Luluk/Alvent look fired up to win a title in Tokyo :cool:

[taufik-ist]

Go..tony...go candra....

[tommy_bun]

[badMania]

Tony/Candra take the second set 21-13. Now, it's on to the decider set....

[samuel882]

if the Danes continue play like the second.. No chance for topping CW/TG

[samuel882]

Looks like the great Morten Frost coaching evy players for the DANES... :p

[tommy_bun]

bun, kalah menang tu dah adat permainan...in a game, if u don win, then u lost...don take it too hard

yeah I know louisa,that's y Im still happy:p

[Louisa]

WD still neck 2 neck...n in JO 07, wd is the most performing dept for chn team...

[tommy_bun]

if the Danes continue play like the second.. No chance for topping CW/TG
Tony/candra have to win to make sure all ina final,if dont Im scared luluk/alven will have a hard time
This is an upset too when luluk/alven beat kido/hendra

[samuel882]

too many mis-communication among the DAnes.. Strange for a pair which have been work together for so long...

[samuel882]

wow! unbelievable defense from CW !

[tommy_bun]

WD still neck 2 neck...n in JO 07, wd is the most performing dept for chn team...
zhao/Yu dont perform bad though this is their first time partnering

[samuel882]

WD still neck 2 neck...n in JO 07, wd is the most performing dept for chn team...
China never seems lost control in the WD.. Its their Ws looks fragile now...

[Louisa]

zhao/Yu dont perform bad though this is their first time partnering

looking at the score, i have to agree wif u:D:D:D

[samuel882]

11-6 interval against... Danes is in Danger now

[badMania]

It's another convincing start by Tony/Candra to lead 11-6 at the interval of the rubber-set. If they can get some quick points later, they should be safe :cool:

[tommy_bun]

China never seems lost control in the WD.. Its their Ws looks fragile now...

China only relies on ZN and Xie XF,while ZN itself is struggling with her age.Xie XX doesnt play consisten lately so do with their juniors.

[Louisa]

China never seems lost control in the WD.. Its their Ws looks fragile now...

yup, but we cant judge merely on 1 tourny...

[taufik-ist]

zhao/Yu dont perform bad though this is their first time partnering

seems it's going to be rubber.. advantage for nova/lilyana tomorrow :p

[Louisa]

i have to say, those juniors possess good skills, n i believe they train hard...it just that they can't play consistently

[samuel882]

seems it's going to be rubber.. advantage for nova/lilyana tomorrow :p

[tommy_bun]

bun... remember in wc 2007.. gl was exhausted :D


Not this time...:p
She wants to revenge so she will do it:)

[samuel882]

going into deuce... 20-20 !

[mAlAn]

so tight 21 : 21

[Louisa]

TG/CW, convert it, pls

[sentosa]

GL is quite crazy, why does she need to push herself into rubber, meanwhile tommorow she got a very important match.

[samuel882]

congrats to CW/TG.. Wat a great match !

[Louisa]

wow, wat a match...

[samuel882]

a rematch of XD & WD Final in WC'07 is in the cards here..

[george@chongwei]

wat a close game.. wijaya/gunawan will book their ticket to the final 2moro

[tommy_bun]

yeah tiny candra won
Defend ur title

[badMania]

Wow...it was a nervy finale as Tony Gunawan/Candra Wijaya eventually win it at their 4th match point. They were 20-18 ahead, but then pegged back 20-20. Once again they have the lead at 21-20, only to see the match pt being saved. Finally, at their 4th match pt, Tony/Candra beat Lars Paaske/Jonas Rasmussen in a thrilling contest that lasted for 54 mins.

So, can Tony/Candra defend their title or Luluk/Alvent to win their first title since 2004? I am rooting for Luluk/Alvent :cool:

[tommy_bun]

GL is exhausted for title

[badMania]

seems it's going to be rubber.. advantage for nova/lilyana tomorrow :p

Yup, hopefully Gao Ling's stamina will be used up. The match itself has already lasted for almost an hr :D

[sentosa]

maybe GL thinks that she need to win this match so that tommorow she got 2 chances to win the title, she's definitely in the need for PRIZE MONEY.

[Louisa]

bun... remember in wc 2007.. gl exhausted :D

they lost in wc07 partly bcoz Zheng Bo was too nervous...n GL of coz, tired up wf 2 games with rubber sets the nite b4 final...

[sentosa]

HUH? MK and HS lost? that means they probably cannot chase KKK and TBH at the world ranking.

[badMania]

Yu Yang/Zhao Tingting are fighting with great spirit :D
Good.....as they lead 11-10 at the interval :p

[badMania]

41 smashes from Yu Yang/Zhao Tingting :eek:

[samuel882]

I hopes GL/HS lost in WD and go on to collect wat GL miss in the WC

[sentosa]

What's wrong with LYB & LD? suddenly LYB don't use the WO trick again and LD also suddenly became LOW PROFILE by saying that TH is the best in the world? (or maybe he is actually LOW PROFILE it's just that the mass media likes to make him seems arrogant).

[Louisa]

i m worried for GL now, can she sustain...

[badMania]

Yu/Zhao are still fighting neck-to-neck....with scores level at 17 a piece.

[badMania]

18-all now as the match is into the 70th min.

[badMania]

Yu/Zhao are strutting their neck in front...19-18.

[badMania]

19-19 now...wow...I hope it lasts forever....:D

[badMania]

Match pt to Yu/Zhao...20-19.

[samuel882]

Zhao./ Yu in match point !

[badMania]

...and it's saved...20-20.

[samuel882]

GAO LING finally lost.. not a good news for Nova/Buttet

[badMania]

Wow...Yu Yang/Zhao Tingting win it in their second match pt...20-22, 21-15, 22-20. What a match....lasted for 75 mins :eek:

[Louisa]

finally, ZTT/YY in final...another great showdown by both pairs

[badMania]

So, Gao Ling was kept in court for 115 mins today. This is lower than the WC semi-finals when she fought for a total of 140 mins.

[Louisa]

going off now...c u guys tmr...

[george@chongwei]

GL is very tired....and she will play in the XD final with ZB.... i really hope they can win against widianto/butet

[badminto_expert]

Oh. You said: GL/ZB can win against to Widianto/butet?

They (GL/ZB) just lost to Widianto/Butet in World championship 2007.


GL is very tired....and she will play in the XD final with ZB.... i really hope they can win against widianto/butet

[jasonmarc]

Dats right .. I wonder who is the last players on earth to did that before..

Never,no body have done that!...:p maybe she is not from earth......wonder where she's from...:rolleyes::D:D....bravo Tine...go and knock one more out..:eek::D:D

[samuel882]

Oh. You said: GL/ZB can win against to Widianto/butet?

They (GL/ZB) just lost to Widianto/Butet in World championship 2007.

That was probably becoz GL have to sustain for almost 2 hour & 20 mins in the semis of WC07.. And she doesnt need to play both WD & Xd in the finals as in WC07... Physically, she is ready to gain the revenge against Nova/Buttet tomorrow..

[badminto_expert]

LCW beat Lin Dan Straight set. Very happy..

But tomorrow, LCW can't beat Taufik Hidayat.


oh !
i miss the LCW vs LD match..

[renly]

I think GL got a problem also even she lost today. She played more than 100 mins today, and tomorrow 1st match is XD, so she tired today, and her stamina probably is not fit enough.

[Noridayu]

I am a Singaporean but I am a proud Malaysian supporter who will stand behind my beloved team whether rain or shine. For me, the player who is able to control the game and has a strong mental will win the game. For me, win or lose does not matter but the performance is the most important factor to me.

Dear Blackrose,

Thank you for your view. I hope that I can support my beloved team in Malaysia Open next year. See u there.As I promised that I will always be by their sides on matter what is the outcome? True fans will never fade but will keep on encouraging the players especially our seniors.

Oh yes...Chandra/Tony win in very tough three set.Hope that they will defend their title.

What a day. Most of the Semi-final matches were intense. Gao Ling/Zheng Bo vs Thomas Laybourn/Kamilla Rytter Juhl was amazing. The first game was close, but Gao/Zheng outclassed Thomas/Kamilla. An amazing rally was when Thomas snapped his strings on a smash, ran in and then switched with a racquet on his bag, turned around to see what was going on, saw the bird fly over his head, turned around to get it, swung and clashed with Kamilla's racquet and broke his racquet, but got the shot over and still dove to try and return the final shot. The video will show it, but the racquet Thomas grabbed after snapping his strings was an already broken racquet. He put the racquet there after breaking it a few rallies earlier. This was a really intense match, but unfortunately the Indonesia vs Korea match wasn't. Lilyana Natsir just dominated the net and didn't allow Lee Hyo Jung to do anything. Lee Hyo Jung also wasn't playing well, so Nova/Natsir pressured her and won the match quite easily.

Tine Rasmussen is playing extremely well. She barely won the first game against Lu Lan, but that proved to be important because she dominated the 2nd game. Whatever training she did recently, it's worked out well because she has proven herself. From the first round until now, she's played ex-Chinese players and Chinese players. This is no fluke. Her backhand clears are really causing trouble for her opponents. It will be interesting to watch her match against Xie Xing Fang. Jun Jae Youn played well, but not well enough. She was able to control rallies and win points, even getting ahead in the 2nd game at one point, but was unable to break Xie Xing Fang's control of rallies where as Xie Xing Fang was able to break Jae Youn's control. Jae Youn played with technique, consistency, and stamina, but unfortunately wasn't consistent enough at key points that may have helped her win the games.

Lin Dan doesn't seem like he's playing his usual aggressive style. It seemed rather passive, but he did fight in his match against Lee Chong Wei. He did his usual dive, get up and get back in the rally, but Lee Chong Wei played fast and patient. Today, Lee Chong Wei was the better player and won. He thought he was going to lose and was planning on shopping tonight, but guess he'll have to wait :). Taufik was... unbelievable. Simon couldn't do anything. Shots most people cannot do, Taufik can. His trademark backhand left Simon frustrated and Taufik easily won. It'll be fun watching the two friends, Taufik Hidayat and Lee Chong Wei, play tomorrow in the finals.

Women's doubles was an all Chinese affair, but was still intense. Each team gained one point at a time, and by the time the first Womens doubles game of Yang Wei/Zhang Jiewen vs Zhang Yawen/Wei Yili was over, Luluk Hadiyanto/Alven Yulianto Chandra had finished their match against teammates Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan on the next court. Yang/Zhang barely won the first game, but ran away with the second with their upperhand in experience. Hadiyanto/Yulianto played very well and were just more consistent than their teammates. Gao Ling/Huang Sui vs Zhao Ting Ting/Yu Yang was a very close match, but the center court of Tony Gunawan/Candra Wijaya vs Lars Paaske/Jonas Rasmussen took all of my attention. It was a very intense game. I kind of expected Tony and Candra to win quickly in two, but Paaske/Rasmussen were playing well with their angled smashes. The Danish supporters were cheering on the Danes, so I decided it was time to voice my support for Tony and Candra. If you watch the video, you'll probably hear my lone American voice cheering them on. The Japanese sitting around me were staring at me because they didn't expect me to be an American, on top of that cheer on my own. Tony and Candra barely lost the first and ran away with the second game. They were avoiding giving the Danes time to set up a good smash by using low lifts to the back, but the Danes were able to stay aggressive and took the first game. Tony's net play and Candra's smashes dominated the second game and allowed them a comfortable lead to take the game. The third game was gut wrenching because of how close it was. At 18-19 with Jonas serving to Tony and Tony/Candra leading, the stadium fell quiet (except for Gao Ling's match on the next court) and just before Jonas served a baby started to cry, so Jonas was distracted and backed off to regain his composure. The baby continued to cry and I'm wondering if that on top of the pressure caused him to lose concentration and serve into the net. At 20-18, Tony serving to Jonas, I think Tony also felt the pressure and surprisingly served into the net. 19-20, Paaske served well, Candra returned the serve but Paaske was able to cut it off and drive it back. Candra reached to cut it off, but hesitated and therefore wasn't able to get to it fast enough to cut it off and instead clipped the shuttle and a fault was called. 20-20, the pressure was on and the entire stadium was focused on the match. With the Danes cheering, and me cheering practically alone, the next few points seemed to take forever, but Tony and Candra pulled through and won the match. I was extremely happy for them and I do wish they are able to defend their Japan Open title. I am a great fan of theirs and wish to see them continue playing more. Hopefully they will play again in next year's Japan Open since I'm planning on coming again around that time.

I believe I've covered all the matches. It was an intense day. I was a little embarrassed being the only American voice shouting support, but then again I'm shouting support for a pair that I've had the honor of meeting, a pair that I admire and respect, and of course, USA :). Also, I'd like to hear some support if I were playing a pair that had supporters :). It feeds you energy. I'd like to have seen some Koreans in the finals, particularly Jun Jae Youn, but I guess Korea still has some way to go to fill the shoes of their predecessors, namely Kim Dong Moon, Ha Tae Kwon, Ra Kyung Min, Lee Dong Soo, and Yoo Young Sung. I haven't taken any pictures yet since I've decided to focus on enjoying the event this year, but I have taken some video footage of what goes on before everything starts with my small digital camera, and I am planning on taking pictures tomorrow.

[zqloy]

Wow, long and detailed post by Bobatea! Appreciated that.
Abt LD's playing style, maybe he is experimenting with different kinds of playing style rather than smashing all the way like last few years. Noticed that he is playing the same style during Sudirman and WC, he actually drop more than smashing.

[xlasher]

Bobatea.... good detailed information...

Did you watch badminton with boba tea???? what flavour.....????

[ctjcad]

What a day. Most of the Semi-final matches were intense.

...for your exciting review, Bobatea!!:cool:..Hope you still have your voice, after your continuous cheering, for tomorrow's Final..and looking fw to your pics!:p:);)

[badMania]

How could you have thought LD would beat him ?:D

Well, Simon Santoso BEAT LCW today!

[badMania]

You must admit you actually did not pay him too much respect (even though LCW won the IO, one of the toughest tournament on Earth). And he beat LD in the Sudirman and you came out saying strongly no one can beat LD at this stage. You deserve my scorn.

Come on, be a gentleman admit it. (but of course you can have your own opinion as I said before).

I think I pay enough respect for LCW, never expecting he WOULD LOSE today!

In fact, LCW is my FAVORITE NON-INA Men's Singles player. Despite predicting that Lin Dan will win last week, nevertheless, I was very happy that Lee Chong Wei beat him fair and square!

However, if I were to be given another chance to predict, I WOULD STILL predict that Lin Dan WILL BEAT Lee Chong Wei.

MEN'S SINGLES
Lin Dan vs Lee Chong Wei -- despite the many LCW enthusiasts, I think tomorrow is going to be another sad day for them. Nobody can beat Lin Dan at the moment...except for a very very fired up Taufik perhaps ? :cool:

i think what X Ball really concerned, pls see red on above
on the other hand if someone says--despite the many Taufik enthusiasts, I think tomorrow is going to be another sad day for them. Nobody can beat Lee Hyun Il at the moment...except for a very very fired up Lin Dan or LCW perhaps ?

i'm not directing you but as X Ball said: come on, be a gentleman admit it.;)

What I perhaps forgot to add in my previous post is "At his form right now".....nobody can beat Lin Dan at the moment, except for a very very fired-up Taufik. And I was accused of "not giving LCW enough respect". I know that LCW has beaten Lin Dan this year and neither will I disagree that he's a very good player, but, at this moment, by looking at Lin Dan's form I just don't think that anybody can beat Lin Dan!

I will stand by that statement. And why is that? Because we have seen that Lin Dan has been the MOST CONSISTENT Men's Singles player so far. I am NOT A FAN of Lin Dan. In fact, I prefer Lee to win, but, in my mind, I just think that given any match, the probability of Lin Dan winning the match OVER ANY PLAYER is > 50%! That includes matches involving Taufik Hidayat or LCW. Does that IMPLY I do not give enough respect to both Taufik or LCW?

I apologize if my statement has created some misunderstanding.. What I am disappointed is the fact that someone here had overreacted to my statement and said that I "did not give LCW enough respect".

If I didn't give LCW enough respect, I would not have predicted that he will beat Simon Santoso. He is a level higher than Simon Santoso! I can just write that "I predict Simon will win because I just don't think he's good enough". Instead, I wrote "in his form right now, LCW should win".

The fact that he lost to Simon indicates that LCW is still not consistent.
