    Based on current form,ceteris paribus (all else being equal), I'd say LCW has the edge. The problem is his mentality issue whenever he plays Lin Dan, and that complicates matters making it difficult to predict.

    It's not a major, just enjoy a great match, for each match they play means one match less to watch as they near their retirement.

    I'd say the answer lies more in Lin Dan's hands, depends on how much he wants to win it. Don't forget tomorrow there's another match and we know who will be waiting for them.

    If today's match is the final, I'm sure both Lin Dan and Lee CW will fight like hell, regardless of form. Then I'd say Lin Dan would likely step up his game and take it as he certainly won't want to lose the final to his archrival and old foe.

    As it is,pardon me, I really can't give you a simple answer; you know,life is always more complicated than that.
