Heard from the radio news this morning.... But it is not written in the Start paper. Can someone confirm this by posting the related article here?

I think this is the best way for a player to de-stress by pushing the lost to someone..? It happened to LCW before when he lost in WC07..

He is justified to say that but it still does not change the results. When LCW blamed his chief coach, it didn't either. So what is new ?:D Get on with life and watch the tournament from the sideline and shut up.

hahah..rite.. In China a player dare not, because his chief coach will say"Do u know in China we have 4bilion people, u r OUT !".. In MAS no problem..Anyway, this is just a joke la

Can someone please confirm this by posting the related news?

Could it be that Park's style is difficult for Lin Dan to play against? Their head to head this year is 2-1 in Park's favour.

At least in LCW's case, it's true. The chief coach has been a source of nervous energy and the problem is within MAS's control. Since then LCW has been playing with utmost freedom and showing disturbance-free results .
But with LD,is he blaming the line judge or umpire? That may not be within CHN's control so more problematic to eliminate.
LD's probably confident of defeating PSH straight, that's why he took the risk and lost. Normally, after winning G1, LD would play 'rest' mode in G2 to conserve energy needed for G3.Without 'sufficient' energy in G3, it's hard for him to pull it off.Probably his first 3-G defeat this year.
Anyway, PSH is such a tough opponent.He used to lose straight to LCW. Last week he took the first game off LCW in CHN mobile Invitational.I' m happy for him and wish him greater progress .Who knows he might go on to beat HH today despite fatigue.

No it is not -- I think PARK ups his ante a lot when he plays against the best -- his adrenalin must reach a high playing the good ones. He was very motivated and animated with his fists up every time he scored.

After watching the game and the defeat of LD by Park, I can conclude that the line judge has got nothing to do with the outcome of the game. LD was a shadow of himself, particularly in G3. He used to pump up and energetic in G3 but it wasnt the case. He was pale, slow and inaccurate to make unforced errors. I think that was the fatal point that had caused him the game.

Give credit to Park. He dived, crawled and covered every possible angles of the courts with huge stamina and determination. He was so pumped up to win the match, and I didnt see him showing any signs of fatigue :eek:

Kudos to Korea team... Now Korea has 2 strong singles... :)

Once again, source from Sina sport in Chinese, here's the link http://sports.sina.com.cn/o/2007-11-22/05553310219.shtml

Basically Lin Dan think he did not have home court advantage from the umpire as few of the close calls were against him instead of the visitor.

He should have just sit back and prepare for the next tourney, not to blame the umpire and so on. Among the Chinese players, he is the one who likes to blast the umpires and line judges after some upsets. Unlike him, Bao Chun Lai and Chen Jin take defeats more gracefully.

his temper ..........
should have learn to control and concentrate into games.
if one too emotion in the court/matches, will suffer inconsistent and unable to concentrate to play well........:o

The media has definately blow thing out of porportion. Lindan didn't blame anyone. He mentioned that Park played well and he didnt take the opportunity when there is. However he will prepare himself for HKO after the lost.

Yes, I also think the media just try to create news from his lost. Is normal that he felt unfair on those close calls as the umpire did not over-rule. Anyway, is a Super Series and if he don't play to his best then he will not win, simple as that. The best player doesn't usually win, the one who play best does!

During LD-PSH match, one of the Chinese commentators stressed that the line judges are professional and the calls could go either way. Unfortunately, LD was the victim this time.

If LD was affected by the bad calls which caused him the match, he definitely does not deserve to be the true champion.

LD's defeat mainly due to Li MAO, who is try hard to prove he is worth to return to CHN camp. From those players like LYI, LCW and Park, all has been coached by him....further, he's trying hard to change his style like Prakash, Han Jian, Hendrawan, LCW or Simon....but I would say - it's too late for him.

Don't try to make excuses for him -- LD does not need that. He lost to a very hard working guy, PSH who punished himself to beat LD. LD has already congratulated PSH telling him he played well -- in a way very sporting of LD.

I am pretty sure LD has taken it on his chin and moved on.

i am not making excuses for him. i am not even a lin dan fan. those who saw the game said lin dan was not his usual self. and i never said PSH did not deserve the win. i am merely speculating on the fact that maybe it is a strategy or a method of concealing true form. and since it is merely a speculation, it is not necessarily the truth. :p

There are definately pros and cons. The pressure , the culture and the program are totally different. In tennis, the players play for themselves. and not clubs. If they don't like the coach, they can sack or fire them. In badminton, you can't you have to live it it.

Lin Dan always find excuses when he lost. Do you think line judges in China will be unfair to him? What a joke!! They are all chinese!! I still remember when he lost in JO to LCW he said he was not in form. He is not the kind of sport man that can take defeats gracefully and generous enough to give credits to his opponents. Unlike Bao, Chen Jin, Wong Choong Han and Peter Gade. As a spot man one must always find ways to improve oneself. And the only way is to look into ourselves, not to point fingers at others.

In fact, to be fair, LCW also has this tendency!( Although I am a big fan of LCW but I still have to point this out.)

I think both LD and LCW have to improve in this area. They should learn from the old players like WCH and Peter Gade. Wong and Peter are real good players and gentlemen. Both of them have earned my respect for them.

Hi xymaerts,

Here is an article from the Chinese Badminton Association;

Lin Dan: Failure to adjust in time
Guangzhou, 21-Nov-2007 18:05:00

In the first round of the main draw of the men's singles of the China Open Badminton Championships, Lin Dan, the first-seeded Chinese player in the event who also ranks top in the world, was unexpectedly beaten by Korean Park Sung Hwan 2-1 and was thus eliminated in the beginning round. After the match, Lin said that his defeat resulted from the failure to make timely adjustment after changing sides.

"I felt that I was smooth sailing in the first set. Though my rival was catching up with my score, I was still playing patiently. In the beginning of the second set, however, I became somewhat edgy, because though I felt I had a good control over the whole situation I failed to score, especially when I failed to win when leading my contestant 20-18. My mental composure was somewhat disturbed in the third set and was not adjusted in time before going on with the match." said Lin.

Lin, who has been occupying the pole position in the world for a long time, revealed that he was under high pressure, "As the No. 1 player in the world, I'm aware that almost all the other players want to get the better of me. I felt somehow tired from the earlier continuous matches and was not adjusted. In today's match, I had the same feeling. In such an event, the failure to outdo the rival in just one link leads to defeat."

Besides, Lin was a little dissatisfied with some penalties. He said after the match that some penalties had affected his feelings and he was, as a result, unable to focus his energy on the following part of the competition.

As the most promising Chinese player for the men's singles at the next year's Olympic badminton event, Lin expressed that he would go all out in the following Olympic accumulation score tournament to be held in Hong Kong. "The 2008 Olympics is no more than one year away. I hope that I'll adjust myself to better form through more experiences in order to make better preparation for the Beijing Olympics," said Lin.

Nowadays badminton superstars seems dont know how carry themselves very well. LCW blames the chief coach... LD blames the line judges, the crowd... TH totally ignores everybody & does whatever he likes.... etc. Its a shame because they r such a joy to watch.
Perhaps they should learn from Federer and Nadal, they r the best role model for sportsmanship.

Lin Dan was beaten – once again by Korea’s Park Sung Hwan in the first round of his home badminton event. Later in the day, other local favorites Cai and Fu were also shown the exit.

Raphael Sachetat, live from Guangzhou. Photos (live) : Badmintonphoto.com

No Super Dan today. Just a player, who clearly is the best in the world in terms of speed and talent, but who is also a human being, with the attendant capacities and limits. Today, on centre court, Lin Dan was good, but not good enough to beat Korea’s Park Sung Hwan (photo), who, better than anyone, knows how to play the world champion. He had proven it twice before by beating the Chinese.

He did it again on Wednesday, creating the biggest upset of the draw, with a 19-21, 22-20, 21-12 win in the longest match of the day – 1h10 minutes. “I got affected in the second game when I wasn’t able to close it up, leading 20-18. But Park played well today, while on my side, I felt tired from all those tournaments and also some pressure on home ground,” said Lin Dan.

I personally think that it was purely an excuse.LD has the ability to win the match,but he lacks of will.I dont know what was he thinking,but for sure it's not to win.He..should have won this game,or at least enter the quarter final if he really wants to play in the olympic.He needs to prove to the chinese ppl that he can take the responsibility,as the number 1 in men's single.Not to just lose in the first round.Was he forgotten who he is?Where's this number 1 men's responsibility to his people?

I often heard the news about,or comments about LD..He lacks of will to win.He got everything for the game,from speed,power,defense.I mean,come on,he started this sport since he was 4/5 years old,join the national team from a very young age,n plays until now.Technically,he might be the best,but again,he doesnt have the will.

The last word,maybe he needs to go to n have a personal consultant on this.I'm just praying that china won't keep lin dan on the 1st list before they do something with this guy.Not a physical practice..but more to a mind problem.He's been no 1 in chinese's MS n in the world for a while already.He's been haunted by ppl's n coach's demands,to keep being number 1 n keeps china's name on the top.How heavy is that?

Today I look at Sina.com badminton web, I saw 2 articles where Li Yong Bo "explained" the reason of LD lost to PSH. LYB says LD lost because the line judges ' wrong judgements distracted LD. LD couldn't adjust his mentality in time, therefore, he lost the match.

Who is he kidding? This is China Open. The judges are all chinese! Why should them favour PSH?? No way the chinese line judges will favour PSH instead of LD. Even if it is true that there were bad line calls, a few controversial line calls can be proper reason for his defeat, that only shows LD is not a strong player. He is not mature and behave like a spoilled kid!!
Try to see this, every badminton players at some point face some controversial line calls. If LD is strong, he should have moved on and get the better of his opponent. In contrast he let "controversial line calls" distracted him and lost the match. And then make the line judges the excuse of his defeat! I am so disgusted by this kind of behaviour.

Worst still, Chinese chief coach LYB defended his spoilled kid player with exactly the same reason. Instead of muster up courage to admit PSH is indeed better player that day, he said local judges standard is low in one interview.After seeing the threads in sina.com, I get the underlying message of LD and LYB. That is as long as the tournaments were being held in China, judges should favour Chinese players. The judges should help to create home advantage for Chinese players. See one of LD comments in the interview" I feel that I am not playing in home country". The underlying messsage is very clear--- as long as I am playing in my own country, local judges should help me.

The fact is he entered the court with this kind of mentality, when he found out that the judges did not neccessarily give him favourable line calls as he wished( in this case the line judges are just being fair!), he is mentally imbalanced and disturbed. And he let them stick in his mind, and lost the match to a better player anyway.

Look at it. Whose fault is it? He has improper mentality and wrong assumptions at the first place!! As a pro, he should have entered the court thinking whether the judges favour me or not is irrelevant, I can still win because I can play better than my opponent.He should have very clear mind and totally forget that he is playing in home country.

The problem of LD is he think he is playing in his home country and he should deserve all kinds of home advantages including absolute support from all line judges. Therefore, when he was not getting favourable line calls, he was mentally disturbed and lost.

And most importantly, LD lost because PSH played better than him!

Tang the legend, LD current personal coach, admitted PSH played better than LD that day in the interviews. He even say LD form is not bad but PSH were too good that day.Now this is a gentleman! Tang is willing to give credit to opponents. This is real good sportmanship.

In fact LD and LYB are already well known "one kind" person in current world badminton. They have serious attitude problems!These kind of person will not earn respect even though they are good players.( To be fair, LD is indeed a vey good player. In fact in my opinion he is the world most consistent top player.)

LCW sometimes blame others too but at least he still give credit to his opponent. He admitted Simon was a better player when he lost to him in Taiwan recently.And he gracefully congratulate his opponents!

But when you look at LD, when he lost, the only thing come out from his mouth is nothing but excuses!!

I am not in good form.......
The line judges bias......
The spectators against me....
I am too tired.....

I will be laughing out loud is LYB really say that the line judge is the one that causes LD to lose. That is so not LYB style. And at the same time... I'm pretty sure the Line Judges are all behind LYb's back if ever.. Ahemm...
