I would like to know how many MS player have won the super series. Right out of my head I could think of the following: LCW LD PG CJ BCL TH SS JO BP LHI Did I miss anyone???
Thanks for the link. Actually, I am interesting to know how many player have won SS with LCW and/or LD present in the same tournament. I know PG and LHI did, who else?
to add a few more: Chen Jin (2007 Swiss Open SS, 2008 All England SS) Boonsak Ponsana (2007 S'pore Open SS) BCL (2007 China Open SS)
Oh yeah, how could I miss CJ. thanks! To make it more difficult for you. Did anyone beat the both of them in the same tournament?
..yes, only LHI (in 2008 Korea Open) and Chen Jin (2008 AE) can proudly brag and announce to the rest of the badminton world that they beat both LD and LCW in the same tourney en route to winning the respected title of those tourneys (of course, a few out there would think LD "gifted" that 2008 AE win to CJ)..
Did LHI beat them or did the patriotic linesmen? CJ's "win" will always be open to debate. Sorry, just being a little naughty
..the only match which was controversial in that 2008 Korea Open, because of the linejudging issue, was the MS Final vs. Lin Dan (note: actually LCW retired to LHI, in the 3rd game of their match, hence paving the way for LHI to go to the Final; so, technically, LHI didn't beat both in that tourney)..
LOL. Thanks for the info. And after doing my homework. There is actually one person who beat both LD and LCW on the same occasion. Although it is not SS...... And the answer for the grand prize question is.......
..let me take a stab...the dude won that "occasion" abt 5 yrs ago (playing w/the old scoring system)...and he recently got his inaugural SS title..
