He has almost all that any player could ever had, so can someone please list all the events, as trivial as they are (as long as they are BWF hosted events), the tournament/super series that Lin Dan has not won before? Just out of interest, and may be we can keep a list here just in case LD is seeing this thread and wants to complete the quest.
Well if you want to count some smaller tournaments there are more of them. But are they even worth mentioning? Maybe not
Malaysia Open .. Singapore Open .. Indonesia Open .i think he never really enjoy playing in South East Asia eh ??
Lin Dan missed the Singapore Open 3 years in a row (2008, 2009, 2010) . Lin Dan missed the Singapore Open 3 years in a row (2008, 2009, 2010). Whether LD thought he couldn't win the title there, we will never know... No interviewer has asked him this question before. Anyway, this is what LD said about Singapore; "Singapore is also somewhere I'd like to visit, the food is good, people are friendly and the place is very clean." Source: http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/Sport/Story/STIStory_662715.html Next time, I would expect an interviewer to ask him what he thinks about Singapore's cold water (that caused him to give a walkover in 2011). .
My feeling is as long as LCW participate in SO, LD will never win it. Of course also given there is no instruction from his high above LOL But he LD may continue to come to SG since its one of LiNing sponsored tournament. So in that note LD better come to Australia which is also a LiNing sponsored tournament (and one that he never even bother to drop by) and will most likely not see LCW there
and he actualkly show up in both ocassion this year in malaysia & Singapore but i don't know maybe he's really stomach upset or just play acting or whatever reason , that is only he can answer , i hope he'll show up next year in Malaysia again .. and go all the way to meet LCw in final hopefully
Okay, so it's just these three + super series final. Is there any other tournaments? Australia Open perhaps? Anymore? If so it's not really hard to achieve, hope LD can make a quest to complete these titles as well, at least the super series final which is kinda major (at least in prizing wise).
These shouldn't even count as BWF events imo. Only Worlds and the team events ... and Super Series Final Indonesia Open, Singapore Open, etc. are not "hosted" by the BWF. You can call them sanctioned by but certainly not hosted ... So Lin Dan has never won the Uber Cup ... shame on him!
