Lee Chong Wei should take baby steps now... just try to steal a set from Lin Dan next time. Last 3 most recent meetings between Lin Dan and LCW... OG 08 Lin Dan 21-12 LCW Lin Dan 21-8 LCW Lin Dan was in his best form ever. Can't blame LCW for losing that day China open 08 Lin Dan 21-18 LCW Lin Dan 21-9 LCW Lin Dan had a 2+months of vacation so to speak, and still dominates LCW All Enlgand 09 Lin Dan 21-19 LCW Lin Dan 21-12 LCW Lin Dan had been in a training camp for 2 months, and some boleh fans said he's not going to be "match fit", and still kicked LCW's butt... what other reason can one come up with, besides the fact that Lin Dan is now at least 1 class above LCW. P.S. LCW should try earning more than 13 points in the 2nd set now days... it helps to improve your chance of winning.
LD is The Tiger Woods of badminton - He is so much better than anyone else that he could beat his peers on one leg (for those who don't follow Golf - Tiger Woods won a Major in 2008 (equivalent to AE if you like) hobbling on 1 leg - he underwent knee surgery immediately afterwards, putting him out of action for over 8/9 months) (i'm not going to say the Federer of Badminton because Federer is owned by Nadal).

X_X maybe I should rephrase xD.. In my opinion, I think Losing to Lin Dan so many times in a Row has taken a psychological toll on Lee Chong Wei =S.. LCW seems so fast when he plays against other players.. But! When he plays against Lin Dan.. It only looks like he is slow.. But im sure its just that Lin Dan is faster @_@... I still perfer LCW over Lin Dan >=).. Your time will come Lin Dan... Very Soon xD cough hopefully cough
LCW should change to 4 or 5th gear when playing Lin Dan instead of waiting for Lin Dan to initiate the attack. Remember LCW, speed kills.
TH really isn't the best benchmark of a good player. He shows flashes of brilliance every once in a while, but overall he's just decent at best. Sorry to all TH fans out there, just my opinion. LD, LCW and sometimes CJ are on a league of their own.
Look, Lin Dan is unbeatable and there is no one who can even come close to giving him a good fight. Besides Lin Dan, LCW is perhaps still the second best. There is now a huge gap between LD and all the other singles players. He has so much power, so much control, and so lightning fast that any opponent will give up mid-way.
Only another 11 points to be 42...so maybe another two meetings will do.....then they shd play in duece......dont give up >>LCW...it's getting closer and closer........
