There is no dominant leader in WS. All Chinese players are outstanding but it is hardly to choose the best. However, Wang Xin plays the best when she meets non-china players
Chen Jin is okay. I think he will replace Lin Dan for a small moment after Lin Dan retires. It is surprising that he has won both the AE and WC but his popularity does not seem to be increasing. Imagine if he nails the Asiad too!
The AE was not a proper win. Come to think of it his 3 wins against LD were all gifts. AE08... Asia Champ... Indonesia open 09...
crucial rally at 18-18. WL wins it. WX got into rhythm, but maybe a bit too late. the BC curse is strong.
desperate backhand cross court drop by WX looks borderline but called in, and happened at 20-19 to give WX 2nd game. rubber. WX cooling down with ice bag?
Wow, the quality of line judging is pretty poor! First the call against He Hanbin/Yu Yang and now against Wang Lin, a CHN WS player I have grown to like!
Wang Lin's expression when the shuttle landed at the end of the last game was priceless. Too bad I wasn't ready to take her pictures.
