The match is lost by LCW not playing well, very odd..
Chen Jin (CHN) beats Lee Chong Wei (MAS) 21-18 / 21-18
awesome display by CJ. never letting down his guard throughout the match. funny one finger cheer after he wins though. :)
LCW, not playing at his top form, but at least he didn't give up and tried to mount a comeback at 15-20 which unfortunately was a bit too late.

The match is lost by LCW not playing well, very odd..
Since there is no line judge nor Li YongBo issue(+ injury has been used too many times), the best way to comfort one's heart is to say he is not playing well, not that his opponent beat him.:rolleyes:

03-08-2008, 08:37 AM
very disappointed with LCW today....tried to play safe very few smashing just a lot of rallying especially in the 1st game net play wasn't good plus was slow...i mean really slow compared to what I saw against taufik....only showed his true colours at the end of the match when it's too late...what a bad day for M'sia...
good display of sportmanship as usual by LCW, shaking CJ's hand with a smile.

Meaning Number 1? He wants to go all the way to win AE 08. Now MS Chn players will really fight without reservation to see who's the best.

Hmm..I really don't know what happened to him..Is he too tired against taufik yesterday???He seem lack of energy in the entire match and did all the silly mistakes.:(I rarely saw his trademark jumping smashes.I feel some other things bothered him.Sigh..Really dissapointed.I am dissapointed enough when our uncles did not win the match despite holding four match points and now...Sigh..:(:(

03-08-2008, 08:41 AM
Well, starting of the second game of LCW, I can sense that LCW was going to lose. No offence to all Chong Wei fan's here as I'm also one of his fan...it's really sad to see him lose. Well, I agree that LCW played too safe...He was very very pasive in that game...Well, is over, hope he will do will in other competition.

Actually if I am LYB, I would much rather have Bao vs Chen Jin in the final, as Lin Dan is pretty much guarantee a ticket to OG, whereas Bao and CJ are ranking #3 and #4, extra points will ensure them making it without much risk from being taken over by #5 player and below.
morphy
03-08-2008, 08:42 AM
LCW let CJ dictate the pace of the match.
He finally figured out he need to change at 15-20 but it was too little too late. The unforced erros ( alot of wide shots) didn't help esp. in game1.
There is nothing wrong with LCW, he played bad, his opponent played better.
Great game tho by CJ. Deserved win.

yeah..the way he played it seems kind a different from his usual game...less attacking....haiz nvm try again in next tournament...
Once again, Chong Wei played way too passive, was more like playing not to lose than to win. I don't quite understand the strategy why continued to deploy on game 2 as everyone obviously saw was not working. For Chong Wei to reach greatness status, he needs to deliver in big event, be aggressive and stop playing those fancy shots which lose more points than gain.
Such a pity to have caliber player like Chong Wei playing below par in big events again again and again!
Congratulation to Chen Jin, determination was written all over his face and fully utilized his strength on court.

Too confident at the start... you always know when LCW is going to lose from his body language :(. You can tell when he's been rattled... I remember the HKO against LD, started so confident, but as the match wore on you could see him slowly losing it as LD came back into the game. More and more simple mistakes as his confidence slipped...
Oh well, better luck next time :)! And now I just hope CJ can beat whoever he plays tomorrow :) (though I'm pretty sure that once again I'm going to be disappointed... just about every MS match I've been interested in so far in this tournament has gone the wrong way for me...).

This is not true. Sridar beated Hafiz after beating TH in WC, and LD won the title after beating TH (in QF) in HKO.

There LCW played passively, but his mind was sharp. Thus he was able to anticipate well and outplay CJ. Unfortunately it seems he just could not find that mind state again.

Actually if I am LYB, I would much rather have Bao vs Chen Jin in the final, as Lin Dan is pretty much guarantee a ticket to OG, whereas Bao and CJ are ranking #3 and #4, extra points will ensure them making it without much risk from being taken over by #5 player and below.
Agree. In addition, CJ still has the Swiss Open to defend. Otherwise, he will be deducted points. Can someone confirm on this?

The match is lost by LCW not playing well, very odd..
Yup, LCW played very safe compared to yesterday's match against Taufik. Weird. This is not 1st time he play Chen Jin.
Sad day for Msia, no representative in AE Finals this year. The critics will have a field day - our beloved sports authorities & media will have a lot to say.

:p Well I was just asking, since he has been doing supremely well with his AT900P ever since he switched over from the curse AT900T which only bought him as far as Qfinals of tourneys!
Maybe is he was using the new ARC10, that could be his prob! :p

Look's like Chen Jin will take the AE title to boost his Olympic bid. Too bad for Lee Chong Wei.
As expected, Xie/Zhang gave a WO in the third set at 0-0. Same like what they were given last year in the French Open I think, against the same opponent.
Nova/Butet are in good form now, leading 17-12.
