Badminton's Lin Dan in belated seasonal bow Reuters World and Olympic champion Lin Dan of China makes a belated seasonal bow in Birmingham on Wednesday at the 100th All England Championships, the oldest and most prestigious tournament in world badminton. The titleholder skipped the first two Super Series events this year in South Korea and Malaysia after a tiring 2009 but is keen to get back on track. The Chinese, seeking his fifth men's singles All England title in seven years, finds himself seeded two behind world number one Lee Chong Wei. The Malaysian won in South Korea and Malaysia though he has often been outplayed by the mercurial Lin in big matches. To try to buck the trend, coach Misbun Sidek has had Chong Wei playing left-handers on a regular basis in training as simulation for the task ahead. (secret training) "It is not the same as playing Lin Dan but it will help Chong Wei to prepare for the match," he said in a media release. "More importantly, Chong Wei must also stay focused when playing Lin Dan as it is important to be physically and mentally ready to play the Chinese." It is hard to see beyond the top two though 2004 Olympic champion Taufik Hidayat of Indonesia has climbed back to three in the world rankings and Denmark's Peter Gade, world number five, can never be discounted. England's challenge is led by national champion Rajiv Ouseph, likely cheered by an announcement on Monday that former European champion Kenneth Jonassen of Denmark is to be England's new singles coach from July. In the women's singles, Wang Yihan, the Chinese who won the title unseeded last year, is top seed this time round. Denmark's Tine Rasmussen, 2008 winner and 2009 runner-up, has slipped to 10 in the world rankings but remains a danger. The All Englands are the third leg of the 12-stage BWF Super Series circuit culminating in December's finals.
Still smarting out about those pitiful losses whenever the opportunities arises! This is him. This is cooler. Not cool at all.
pitiful losses?? lol. china won the 2008 TC if u don't know. regarding the 09 EAG title, if LD had won, the prize barely cover his tournament costs and he prolly use that medal as paper weight. China won the team event as well.
Just look at the contents of your reply. How you see things after his lost. This is exactly what i was trying to relates to you. Exactly.
if LD plays like the 09 EAG all the time, why all the how to beat lin dan threads and discussion? Why all the worry on the shoulder of lcw and his fans? how could i comment his lost before the game?
just look at the opening game (2008 TC) Lin dan lift lift lift. No lunging, no diving save. No smashing until the 7th rally. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMdOs0M0kJ0 if lcw can play against LD like that all the time, what u worry about?
Dear cooler, When i started the discussion it was all about your takings of ld losses on that both occasions. Nothing mentioned about ld & lcw rivalries. Again as i had mentioned before, i am not a fan of lcw so what is there for me to worry? Anyway nice to chat with you and to see your views.
Latest info on All England 2010: Bros here , Lin dan is still using N90 instead of N90 (2) . that's good news.
That proves my prediction is right cause Lin dan dont really like N90 (2) color and the feeling is not really there.
congratulations, ferret!! and your prize will be a chance to lick the sweat off your idol's right calf after his training session. the thought of that should keep you awake for many moons!
ah the sarcasm, you gotta love it ! The reason LD used the N90 is because h didn't want ferrerkiko, to start crying, as he just bought a N90. LD knew that his #2 fan would be extremly sad, if he didn't use N90. So he did it for ferrets sake.
ya, he really needs the best in the final cos he's gonna meet lcw! and he needs tons of it, probably breaks everyone of them when retrieving lcw smashes.. and i am taking shelter now in a bunker..
