    It is the fault of the organiser to put CJ-CL match after LD-LCW. Also the same for Women Singles.

    Imagine 2 unfinished(or walkover) in the evening session. What would be the mood of the spectators.

    I think Lin Dan will lose this game against Lee Chong wei . I saw the match lin dan against Shon Wan Ho . He seem not using not N90, or even his latest N50II. Lin dan keeps changing racket.. if this goes on , i think he will lost the game, as keep changing rackets will not bring him far! Dont know why he keep changing rackets nowadays!

    This LD v LCW match is a tough one to call. LYB really has us in a quandary this time. I'm scratching my head pretty hard at this one.

    If you put aside your on-going obsession with what racket he uses, you'll find LD is a pretty darn good player in his own right :cool:

    We know CBA has a lot of undeserved walkover loot money. Are you suggesting LYB is paying LCW more than the champion s prize to lose to LD?

    It's for this reason that I prefer LCW to win today so we get to see a real final tomorrow. Besides,I think LCW's chances of winning once in every 3 or 4 encounters with LD should be the probability considering they are evenly matched.

    No contest for all-CHN-semifinal in MD category as Tao Jiaming/Zhang Nan give free ticket to the World Champion ;)

    Agree,for a player of Lin Dan's caliber or for that matter Lee CW and Chen Long,what racquet he uses is not an issue at all.

    This is the first time I see the court being vacuumed after a match. This must be in lieu of the CHN MD match evaporating with a walkover. HKO creativity.
