lol, what a surprise 1st round exit for bcl.. i'm wondering what the master li thinking now..any plan c?
No mo alleged "match fixin'".. ...at least til the Finals Rd (should both LD & CJ make it that far)... Bao's lost came a bit of a surprise; but then again, he's been hampered by his injury since this yr's S'pore Open SS...
i remember bao saying that coming into the world champs his expectations weren't very high and that he would be more than happy with just a win. i'm not surprised he lost, his injury has been nagging at him for a while and dicky is still a very good player. the thing is, with his injury i don't know why the big wigs at china badminton still let him play. if anything, they should have rested him the past couple of months and hope for recovery or opt for the surgery they keep talking about. in the best interests for the player, team china should have opted for the surgery IMO. A few months recovering from the surgery is a lot better than forcing him to keep playing which could result in permanent injury.
After won German Open (GP level), ABC (GP Gold), and SIN Open (SS), yesterday he got an early exit in World Championships (BWF event category). What a anti-climax!
read from papers.......judging by his peformance in India.. he could get the axe...but i think his injury still bug him..he looks quite dejected & "lost " when being interview by chinese jouranlist..
Not totally unlikely... It has already been pretty clear before the WC that CL will soon replace BCL as No.3 in the Chinese team.
BCL will be in China team....BCL is much better than Chen Jin..he won many titles ( 3 titles this year alone) without any help from his teammate...BCL proved that he could win without LD or CJ but CJ could not win any tournaments by himself..( like in last year China master..no LD, CJ lost to Sony in final...in Paris and Denmark, CJ lost to Gade twice)... It will be a big lost if China axes BCL...better to axe Gong or Lu Yi than BCL... come on Kevin Bao
hmm...i read a similar reports about Xie X F if she fails to do well ( don't know if no titles consider failure ) she is going "possibility " to say goodbye to Team China & move on...any how let's just wait & see...
yes, no doubt BCL is the second best player in China team after LD. After his knee injury fully recovered, I am sure he will be back at his best form.
I predict Bao Bao is done...he may play in SS but not in future WC, AG and OLY...CHN is unlike other countries, talent pool is too deep especially in MS...other countries (MAS included), Bao Bao can yoyo or loopy, loopy and still play for a long time...better still move to Canada, and Bao Bao can play till he retires and collect old age security cheques
