2013 Australian Open (from April 02 to April 07)

Who would've thought at the start of tourney with LCW, NTM, Taufik, Simon in the EL, the Chn youngsters will actually have the big smile at the end

 

what happened with LCW? Injury or something?

 

THW not allowing LCW to do angled smashes etc. Very smart play. China's worked him out now. Also age catching up with him. Soon the entire top 10 Men's singles will be all from China.

 

Tha wd prove me wrong, they bounce back again

 

Honey, injury is one thing excluded from this LCW-THW match right now.......

 

Well you can't expect LCW to win every single match. Upsets happen all the time, and this is a huge one. LCW won't care too much. He just wants to win a World champ or Olympics.

 

THW plays very well, returning almost every shots LCW hit at him . . . need a miracle for LCW to win. 14-6

 

Big achievement for THW right now

CL aka Dragon must be growling in his cage right now knowing he'll be soon accompanied by THW in "I beat LCW clubs"

 

Well past the one hour mark too. The younger opponent's fitness coming through. Anyone know how old this guy is?

 

Not a single smash winner in 3rd set for LCW. Just shows he's tiring badly.

 

LCW fighting back. Hope he can keep it up. 14-9

 

But now, here comes the LCW heroic comeback

 

Doubt LCW has enough gas in the tank. He's done well to not embarass himself though.

 

A tad of impatience from Tian Houwei - several wrong decisions in playing out the rallies.

 

They been playing for an hour and 15 minutes and LCW only has 9 smash winners. He usually has much more than that, even against Lin Dan.

 

[MENTION=32431]limsy[/MENTION] : I'm so high on drugs right now

 

Epic encounters in wd as well

 

THW must be patient that this is not over yet

 

LCW missing quite a bit of line judgements. The final result will probably reflect this.

 

scores please
