26-24 and Lin Dan closes out the match. What a finale,I'm delighted. My appetite for dinner is going to be pretty good, thanks Lin Dan and Chen Long.
and to cut off BWF broadcast costs, no rubber set today! (in consistent move to 1st session only coverage in SF)
A match worthy of any final,it might very well be the Olympic Final next year as Ian Wright said. Great to see Lin Dan in his winning ways and mounting the winner's rostrum once again.
Sports world is not that simple.... they are not LD, doesn't mean they could do what LD could do...Same logic, LD knows how to play LCW's weakness, but no one else could learn from him and achieve a similar 20:8 H2H against LCW...
Aiya, Once a girl is married and enjoy her life as a woman she naturally will look more radiant and beautiful. Some even look more beautiful when they are pregnant. This , of course, will make the uneducated old grandmas on the husband side very disappointed for they believe that a great granddaughter is on the way. Hahahaha............
These people are not badminton fans, but player's fans....After watching both matches, this one is no less exciting and spectacular that LD's SF with LCW last nite technically speaking...
U believe in BWF & TS? U shouldn't call your stat is a "correction" since it is not correct.Pls read around in BC forums, BCers already identified there are 2 formal competitions (one was an Asian Games' final) were missed in BWF/TS record.
Wow chris, all are correct, perfect guess The last match between LD & CL is the most interesting one. I thought ZZ v Fischer/Pedersen would be tough match like their previous encounters but not for today...
wow... anyone to wake them up? BCers already identified there are 2 formal competitions (one was an Asian Games' final) were missed in BWF/TS record.
LD is at his best but in a different dimension. Just watch the downloaded MSF between LD & LCW. There were a couple of opportunities for LD to smash and kill ASAP but choose to hit a softer smash. He has grown very, very patient.
Asian Games doesn't use tournamentsotware does it? Obviously it is not going to show up in the head-to-head, nor is it a BWF event ... or have they been adding Commonwealth Games results as well?
i think the better explanation is that it is not a BWF event. for the same reason, the head-to-head won't include the 4 kings exhibition match that was held in China recently.
for some who totally missed the 4-king story like myself , here's a handy link: http://www.badzine.net/news/lin-tops-badminton-battle-of-the-4-heavenly-kings/17323/
