Chen Long ( 谌龙 )

[chris-ccc]

Chen Long has learnt lesson at last year world championship. I will be very surprise if he lost Bosanna in the first round. If he want to be coined as the future king of men single. He should beat everybody apart from Lin Dan. I anticipate a heavy weight semifinal between LCW and Chen Long.

.
With LCW's ankle problem, I don't think he would make it to the Semi-Finals (although I hope that he would).

I believe that Lin Dan will win GOLD again at this 2012 London Olympics.

Another first round exit from him, CBA should look for another replacement.

Two early round exits in a row of major tournaments give a strong indication he is just like Jiang Yanjiao; a player who cannot deliver when it matters.

In this yr's OG, Chen Long's inexperience and youth will be tested and shown on one the biggest badminton stages..IMO, reaching the Semis will be quite an achievement, considering this is his first OG..

The thing is he is playing in the same venue with a different tournament.

He should not fumble again...otherwise I am totally speechless. His draw is freaking easy..

As soon as I saw the draw, this was the first bracket I thought "upset" right away! So maybe he can follow the tradition of losing the first round and then go on later the win the Gold like LD!

I misjudged him, he's playing so tactically astute and purposeful. Very much looking forward to see his match against LCW. Still not a fan though!

He lost first round in last year's WC. So he'll get a medal. But may not be Gold.

Got totally outclassed by a 90% latok lee.

My gut feeling tells me Chen Long's time has come,finally. Any time now, he'll make his big move to the top in the same league as Lin Dan and Lee CW for good.

In a Chinese badminton online magazine, many questions were posed to Chen Long,this one should interest many of us, namely(my translation),

'Who is your favourite badminton player? And why?' (asked by YuQi_Yap)

Chen Long's reply: " I like Lin Dan and Taufik Hidayat very much. I admire Brother Dan for his on court imperiousness (air of superiority), his indomitable (unconquerable) spirit, which I can sense even during normal training, worthy of my learning(worth my emulating). As for Taufik,I am fond of his playing style,meticulous, very good wrist-work ,full of ingenuity."

The original follows:
请问你最喜欢哪位羽毛球运动员？为什么？（YuQi_Yap）
谌龙：我最喜欢林丹和陶菲克。我很喜欢丹哥在场上的霸气，以及那种不服输的精神，平时在训练生活中也都能感受到，这很值得 我学习。 陶菲克，我很喜欢他的打法，很细腻，手上感觉很好，很有灵气。

[ I'm reminded of the following exchange by Wang Shixian during a TV interview conducted after she had won the Asian Games 2010 ,viz.,
Interviewer: Every sportsperson has an idol or someone he looks up to, how about you?
WSX: I like Taufik Hidayat because at his prime he gave me an impression that he enjoyed his game very much and I find it very comfortable watching him play.]

Is Chen Long still improving or has he already peaked? Other than Lin Dan, Chen Long is the only person who can score wins over Lee Chong Wei. But he seemed to have more success against LCW in 2011 than in 2012.

So is Chen Long still improving or is he backsliding now? Has he peaked or is he still getting better?

When CL beat LCW in 2012, it looked like LCW was not playing aggressively at all. Once he played aggressively in London, LCW destroyed CL easily. He even have problem playing Du Pengy. I think CL has peaked already and that is.

[Justin L]

I repeat,Chen Long's time has come again, this time for good. He will be in the company of Lin Dan and Lee CW, a cut above the rest.

Very soon, in fact from now on, Chen Long will give Lee CW a very hard time whenever they meet and challenge Lin Dan as well.

This Little Dragon has come of age and shall simply be known as The Dragon.

[fauci]

I have to admit Chen Long is damn solid and doing extremely well, esp. in his defence, but his overall body movement looks very rigid. Compared to Lin Dan, Bao Chunlai or even Chen Jin, Chen Long is much less exciting to watch.

[bad's fan]

maybe not that fast Justin. he still has a long way to go. let's give him more time of tests.

[Justin L]

This CHN Open has seen one superb performance after another by Chen Long, master class. He has so much speed and power, consummate whether in attack or defence. He just needs to maintain his accuracy and introduce more deception into his game to be a complete all-rounder in the echelon of Lin Dan and Lee CW.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances,we should see him the main contender come Rio 2016.
