Swiss Open Day 6 - Finals (16 Mar)

It's ok for LCW to lose. It's trial run no. 1 for OG08.

**X Ball** · 03-15-2008, 10:37 PM

I am pretty sure LCW will win this - this is a grudge match for him (remembering CO, where LCW's fans felt he was robbed).

LCW has the 'legs' to do this -- he is fit. He had a 'lazy' AE and knows he has to step up. Look out for a 'pumped up' LCW tonight.

If I'm not wrong, MK/HS won 2 or 3 SS titles in a row: CO 07, HKO 07, and I forget what's one more. Tough JJS/LYD has improved lately, but still my heart goes to MK/HS. C'mon, Man! Just relax! We each have our favorite players, but we don't have to be overproud by underestimating the others

The key is Chong Wei has to take the match to Lin Dan, can't just be passive! Vary the pace and let your best dictates the outcome.

LCW lost each time when you are sure he is going to win. Maybe you should praise him as a underdog and he will have a better chance.

My prediction, 55:45 to LD.

Fair enough, we will see.

Yup. I think he will adopt a different approach cum tomorrow, no more of the laid-back style. He will be on his best attacking style that won him the 1st set in CO.

Of course, I don't expect LD to lie down easily --it will be a great battle. But I am calling it LCW's match based on his fitness. If LD has a knee problem, he will be tested fullest.

I disagree here. I think the best strategy for LCW is to be a little bit "laid back". Focusing on the quality of his shots (to move LD around) instead of trying to be as fast as possible. There is no way anyone can beat LD using speed alone. LD loves his opponents to be fast and furious, which means the quality of the shots will not be very high and he will have many opportunities to intercept.

The key is that LCW has to stay calm. Like what he did in French Open. When he is calm and does not think too much, he is much better at reading opponents' shots.

I said "vary the pace", meaning can go fast and can go slow. The word "calm" can be very misleading, if he win then he is calm else he's too laid back

There is something on his mind, no way LCW can get past LD today !

**xymaerts** · 03-16-2008, 01:26 AM

Base on recent head to head... both have win each other equally.. No head to head advantage for them...today is the tie breaker..
