Playing in the qualies for Lin Dan is OK for him here , I think. Just more practice matches for him to get up to speed but not so good for the other qualifiers, I'm afraid.
Lin Dan playing in qualifier . . . a double Olympic MS champion ! ! ! ha ha ha The players qualified to play in the main draw are already "scared" of facing him, let alone the qualifiers. Might as well get the chance to shake LD hand, take more pictures and get his autograph . . . might be worth more money as compared to the money from organiser for being LD's loser, in qualifier. Well, at least the organiser is assured of more fans for the qualification rounds.
4 indians in the qualifiers. No idea , who is going to face LinDan .. K.Srikanth, Anand Pawar, Sai Praneeth, Sourabh verma ,all the four have to prepare to face Lindan . I think it will be a good experience to srikanth if he meets Lindan in the qualifiers..
I'm so disappointed that there is no Zhang Nan in the men's doubles. He's such a promising player but LYB doesn't let him play. Let him play with liu cheng or somebody.
It doesn't matter if LD has to play in the qualification round. What matter the most is can he win it at last?
Playing 2-3 rounds in Qualifying adds wear and tear to your body. While the Qualifiers might be a cakewalk for him, the mileage also adds up ad if he makes the final, LD's body will have endured 4-9 games more than his opponent.

The draw is out! Wow, interesting matches in the MS. [1] The 3rd meeting of Chen Long vs Tommy Sugiarto in the R1 after two matches in a row in the Sudirman Cup [2] It's most probable that Taufik will be up against his old nemesis and the qualifier, Lin Dan!
Hahaha. who says LD need to be given wild card to face LCW ? Lin Dan path : first round of Qualifying : facing World Junior Champ. So the current 2 World Champions are facing each other. Taufik last match maybe to face LD The draw is very suspicious. Are they trying to increase popularity ?
Young Sai Praneeth is the one who is going to meet LinDan this time.. .. I want him to get atleast one game from LinDan.. Probably, H.S.Prannoy will be going to meet JOJ in the first round.. Will he be able to do what K.Srikanth has done in Indian Open 2013.. Interesting to see LCW meeting Wang Zhengming in the first round.. Wang zhengming has improved a lot lately. But definitely, LCW will be going to have a tough time in the early two rounds..
