2009 Indonesia Open: Will we get a Lee Chong Wei - Lin Dan semifinal?

Hope this won't happen...

 

sure, why not? TH got a elevator ride to the IO final.

 

If Sony and TH get to SF, I think Sony may win over TH..anyway...INA is not like CHN to fix the game especially TH is independent....he wants to show that he is better than Sony.....
I could not wait to see LCW vs LD in semi...I think this time, LD will get more support from INA crowd due to recent incidents which they may boo LCW ( for some reasons, INA crowd has not booed LCW yet but cheering for LD so far)

 

LCW's just being kind to HH, not wanting to make him look bad by gifting him G2 with many unforced errors. Even in poor form it's unlikely LCW can be behind HH all the way in a game.
But LCW's under no pressure to beat LD. He will probably play his normal predictable game and do a favour to TH by working LD to the hilt.

 

This is not an important tournament, i think Lin dan will again entertain his fans, give away the game to Lee chong wei. Look at this year Swiss open 2009, did Lin dan give his best, i dont think so !

 

I do not think LD will give a match to LCW...pls give any players credit who won...next time, some will argue that player A gives away a match..he is injured, blah..blah..should we say that CJ almist gave away his match to Dicky??..should we say that CJ gave Sony a win in China Masters last year???

 

Maybe, but i don't think so. If LCW vs LD happen, LD will have a lot of support from indonesian crowd. Just See it

 

Well, but before meeting LCW, Lin have to defeat Chen Jin. Does history repeat once again? Will Chen retire in middle of the match to help Lin have more "gas" in the next match???

 

big wrong.....me and my friends will support mr Lin Dan

 

or CJ should do something less controversial... should learn from HH playing LCW, practice with LD for 2-3 sets... help LD to warm up prior to playing LCW...

 

chance of a SF between LCW and LD is high
LCW should beat PSH
while CHN wont risk LD, for CJ to play LCW...
unless CHN wanna know how CJ stand playing with LCW

 

In LD vs CJ match-ups, as far as I recall CJ already had 2 back injury retirements (and then next tourney the next week no back injury) . So this time, play until finish lah at least. Anyway, I think LD can beat CJ one, even when CJ good form.

 

Just play like OG SF is good enough, warmup LD enough to thrash LCW.

 

Yes,,.....I think Jonc108 didnt really follow yet...!

Tha one was just classic.......

 

or maybe you are wrong, chris..,maybe its the other way round

 

Agree. It's not just INA crowd.
CHN fans are louder and everywhere.
In SO MSF of BCL vs BP, it was CHN fans vs local fans.

 

The lost in third set is not like the LD ppl used to know... has he ever lost with such margin? ^^
