Simple... If LCW loses, same usual excuse - mental If LD loses, even simpler reason - he's generous...win too many titles already so no big deal gifting LCW another "small" title; no motivation..he's motivated ONLY at the next Sudirman Cup, Thomas Cup, and Olympics only, so so does not take this event seriously, bla bla bla.
On paper, CW is the favorite as he cruised thru the final relatively easy as compare to LD. To me, the current form usually dictates the winning percentage and CW certainly has an upper hand. LD still has the ability to inject the pace when needed but doesn't seem to use that arsenal often enough could be the precaution of aggravate old injury or saving the best for last when facing CW? CW also has improving quite a bit(hard to believe he still has room to improve), aside of maintaining his top form, CW is able to inject different paces at different situations. My prediction, CW win by WO, Lin Dan injure during warm up

I think LD will win. 60:40 for LD... let's see how will be.. but hope will be a great match, not one sided match...
LCW to win. LD is not fit, lacks tournament play and its not a big event for him. If it was a major or TC my money would be on LD
So long they play each other, it's everybody's match of the year But anything can happen! There could probably be another walkover making it 4, As a protest to bwf strict participations in ss & ps It could be half way during the game or ld even didn't show up
poll creation has limited options. it cant be set to close a specific time but in specific days, such as 1 day, 2 days or 3-100 days or will not close. but, admin or mods can close it anythime when it is necessary. we will close it by the time these two players get into court.
Bigg money involved Lin Dan!!! Win it and buy something nice for XXF...motivation right there. Enough for LD to win this tourney
LD to win because BC votes LCW On a serious note, LD can up the tempo when it wants to, just hope no anticlimax but I vote for LCW because I want him to win, not because I seriously think he can win. 50-50 if LCW and LD plays normally.
