it was a great match.... but not as epic and legendary as WC2009 MD Final (also LYD/JJS vs FHF/CY) in India... that final was the best double match in the last 4 years.
It's his fault for not able to capitalize any of the numerous chances he has over so many other players.
i'm sure they have enough to share, it's not that their first win ever. btw, CHN got over 40 of them last year.
None of the WS players are really dominating like Lin Dan. Look at Lin Dan's H2H against his closest rival: 18-8. Ridiculous. About to be 19-8 I'm afraid, and likely 20-8 by the end of next week. Please quote me if I'm wrong - I'd be happy to look a fool if so!
True, but no single player is dominating in WS. Lin Dan is so amazing that every loss is because he's not trying etc, and not because he got beaten by his opponent. I know of no other player in sporting history who has/had this "aura", besides Don Bradman in Cricket.
That's because CHN has been able to produce a stable of exceptional WS players who have to share the glory. During the LD era, it's been him and him alone. BTW, not Pele or Maradona (football) or Gretzky (ice hockey)?
