LD really wasn't into it today. But I was quite surprised that his playing style was much more offensive than what we are used to see from him at the moment. He went for the smashes quite often.

Look at what LD said here:
http://www.bwfbadminton.org/news_item.aspx?id=50138

"Santoso pushed Lin Dan all the way but the Chinese ace displayed his full range of deft touches and stinging smashes to edge the tie.

“I’m happy to have played well and won and this is what entertaining badminton is all about,” said a delighted Lin Dan."

today's LD is not only playing badminton, but enjoy playing with badminton.

He had to against Simon otherwise he would have lost. Simon s a most dangerous player because he s unpredictable. But lucky for LD, his fans got to work from G2 onwards. The crowd was 80% CHN, the INA fans were rooting for INA WD and quite useless for Simon.

Yes, let s wait for LD to spout those words when he loses his next match.

Well, I think it's probably because of his first set loss

Who can take first set off Lin Dan like that ???

let's see how he play against Peter great tomorrow

In bold, was this from the writer?

If it was, what a lousy comment

Was Lin Dan enjoying a close rubber game ?

I doubt it

It's the 2nd time in a row that SS almost snatch a win vs LD. To me it looks like SS has done the home work well, such as smashing LD in the body not the sides. It's so unfortunate that at 15-12 on the third set SS had a chance to do a net kill but he blew it, otherwise IMO we will have different winner.

LD plays very much like TH now, I guess stamina, legs, muscle, and determination not as good as before, it's like married life and age have catch him fast, just like they did to TH.
excellent news for LCW

**Granum** · 06-17-2011, 08:49 PM

He might not be as determined, but at least he's having fun..

No he's not having fun thats for sure, otherwise he would have gone to Hawaii. He's just different player as he used to be thats all. Just like all legend before him, time has running out fast.

LD has lost exactly ONE time all year in BWF tournament play and will take over the #1 OSIM BWF World Super Series ranking after the Sing. Open. If that's "time running out fast," what do you call someone who loses more than once?

**extremenanopowe** · 06-17-2011, 10:22 PM

He said, he got better priorities else where. Guess.

If you were at court side observing his body language, you will know he was not having fun playing Simon. LD was anxious, anxious, anxious!
All that fun thing is just PR talk and indirect self compliment. LD s saying I could have finished Simon faster but I want my fans to enjoy my badminton extra time.

I follow LD long enough to see if he's the same player as before or not. In this matter, result comes second.
