As the announcer said after LCW received the thropy: "Lee Chong Wei juara sembilan kali Malaysia terbuka dari Malaysia"
Well, I dunno why so much fuss about Sony's loss. It's not as if it's unexpected. Lee Chong Wei at his home-ground, gunning for his record number of Malaysia Open titles, and Sony was totally drained yesterday. For me, it's not a big deal that Sony was thrashed. Remember, LCW was also thrashed several times by "you know who".
Haha ok. He is not like he was yesterday. While Sony is a player with game plan, today seems there is no plan, or plan is failed and more to reactive. While LCW (with LD) is Barca. Alien.
Indeed...I am still proud of Sony for making a comeback and now ranked at no 4 in the World. I thought he was totally down and out for professional badminton in mid last year.
hehehe. for someone who has a threatening life injury to play again at the final of super series tournament already an achievement of its own. If i am not mistaken, his disc at the central spine is dislocated that may result in permanent disability. From the top of Indonesian player, his ranking drop to 200 ++ and eventually is advised to retire. Here once again his fighting spirit is shown. Both are true great sportsman. As a malaysian I am proud of LCW. as a badminton fan. I do admire the spirit that SDK has.
I think he had a game plan but with LCW in such determined form, it was near impossible for Sony to execute it.
Only if Sony has DPY's stamina and defense, I am sure he could match up with LCW at least extend it to a 3rd set.
