Even if he stage-manage or play to lose, I'd hate to see it. As we can expect another wonderful semi-final clash between Chen Long and Lee Chong wei, it will be greater to see Lin Dan versus either one of them in the final as well. Am I asking for too much?
The ANSWER is here: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php/104036-2011-French-Open-what-if-..... so depends on which path they choose... what's the optimized positions for whole!
. No, You are not asking for too much. Not only that the French Open organisers hope for no walkover, but most of our BCers do not wish to learn of another walkover (unless players are injured). .
Lonely at the Top You know, it's lonely at the top after a while.. so must come down and socialize before going back up again..
Correct me if I'm wrong,based on what's written there,it's much better for Lin Dan to win tomorrow and progress to the final as he certainly wouldn't want to lose even 5% chance of OG Qualification; besides,it does little to help Chen Jin even if he went all the way to win the final (which is very unlikely,in my opinion) as his OG chances will remain at 50%.
if the natural seeds are not any good then MAS may consider to outsource from the GMO ones produced the giants... though there are clear risks and adverse consequences for sure
Ooooooo, a warning from BWF if LD concedes a walkover to CJ? I bet the CBA are trembling in their boots. Get real, they don't give a rat's ass!
I agree. I think CJ's cause is lost. LD will get the green light to go all out to win this tournament.
Strongly agree with you. We need to be fair to the player. How many Super series he has been playing ? Just look at his movement , defend, net play, smashes, all are high quality ! no doubt some of his smashes went outside, but all these smashes are executed at very fast pace, mainly with the objective to cause his opponet off guard ! His need to practice more on this ! If he can improve on this , I am not surprise he can even beat CL in future ! Now the casualties are Simon Santoso, Lee Hyun il , Wong ZM , and more to come .... ! I believe the next one will be Taufik and Peter !
