Rewind back to the All England 2010 against Tago, should the line judge call that shot out instead of in, do we think Lee Chong Wei will win the rubber as the highly motivated Tago and looking further from this point on, will he become the player as we see today?
Might as well merge this thread with the LCW thread after all this post is referring to Datuk, and had been debated after the 2010 AE.
You're mistaken, that line call just decided whether the match would go to deuce or not, it is not determined that Tago would win the 2nd game by itself. But the possibilities are many. But take out that poor line call and the possibility of Tago winning the match, you can also say that winning the 2010 AE has given LCW a lot of confidence which enabled him to defend his title and reach the final of the World Championships for the first time the following year. All of us walk on the thin line where a decision others make at some point in our lives is something that changes the future course/fate of our lives. We can say that that line call might be that decision. But there is also the possibility that even with the correct line call, LCW might have finished it in deuce or in the deciding game. That is the thin line that LCW walked on.
Only one LCW is not enough, we need a lot of MAS ms players which have abilities of LCW of more tham that... or else after LCW retirement, nobody will succeed him as nation No.1 ms player... Btw, LCW this year already take part a lot of tournament without any rest and leave (including retirement and withdrawal from the match). In my opinion, LCW should rest and have to save energy for upcoming Thomas-Uber Cup and OG2012 after he finish playing in AE 2012 edition, let the back ups and junior play theirs to upgrade their rankings and gain experience as world class players, not just only as 'jaguh kampung'...
