I feel quite disappointed to LCW performance at the end of 3rd set. He totally lost confidence after the 11 point of 3rd set. Mentally break down, so many unforced errors. I am wondering what was he nervous about? I think he got nothing left, it's time to show his best shot. Who knows? He still.....
I think the greatest turning point was when LCW was leading 10-9.... he had like 5 huge opportunities to win with amazingly huge smashes... but Taufik had the most amazing defence ever.... that really sapped LCW energy and willpower after that he just crumbled
PG is a lucky man, the path opens up for him with both LD and LCW out, only left to beat is CJ, this is best chance for PG to win his major, the badminton god must be smiling at PG, can't get better than that...I really disappointed with LCW out...who the heck can predict LD will also go out...LCW beat TH all year round and lost in the biggest game that counts...With LD out, if LCW had beaten TH, the path is clear and MAS could possibly have 2 finalists and a great hope of breaking the jinx, again, another missed opportunity...crap!!! I need to check my blood pressure now...it's up and down.:crying:
Why he lose in QF, give Chen Jin pressure? He should go final and lose then... But Lin Dan is a very generous player. He took so much from PSH. Now, he must 'give' back.
Give back....LOL!!! Anyway Taufik played damn good tonight, but LCW is also not in his best performance. As per Taufik's wife twitter account, she said that Taufik played very calm. I saw too much pressure in LCW.
Could be the same pattern related to football but then again its just mere speculation...... but who knows!?
maybe but won't it be better for lin dan to beat all then give chance to chen jin in the final? i will say smart strategy
Haiyah, was really happy to see Koo/Tan managing a (rare) win against LYD/JJS and was looking fwd to LCW's match with TH. Alas! when TH came out with all guns blazing, LCW was kinda surprised and couldnt win back the initiative to win the first game. After LCW managed to win the 2nd game and with TH looking really tired for the 3rd, I thot it wud be a breeze for LCW to win the 3rd. He was on course until the score 10 -8, when he kinda decided to press the "self destruct" button and only managed 2 more points for TH to romp home . What a disappointment!! I truly believe that LCW will not get over his mental strength (or rather the lack of it) problem when it comes to the big stage like WC and Olympics. I truly hope he will prove me wrong . Anyways, luckily MAS still have Koo/Tan in tomorrow's SF. Something for the fans to look forward too. Boleh!
It seems I found someone who share the same view on this but since this is sensitive issue. Could have something to do with the location of the championship too. I believed you knew Datuk's godfather .... Again like I said this is pure speculation from me.
Are you kidding me. LCW literally gift point away with massive error. Error in serve. Error in lift, error in net. But I was not surprise, kinda expect it. This morning I already told my friend that he may succumb to pressure again. The one I am more surprise is the scoreline that Lindan lost. I mean yeah, he is human too and could have a bad day but 21-13 21-13. Wonder what the jia you fans excuse is going to be this time. Charity? Focus on Asian games?
