For someone who is not playing regularly on the circuit, can't help but admit LD is really legendary. Seems like LD has this internal switch.. when he turns it on.. he becomes really brilliant.
Totally predictable outcome, unfortunately. How crushing. I don't know how LCW keeps playing this sport. He still has his eyes on 2016 but he is so overcooked now that it's depressing to watch.
You can see the strain in LCW, whereas, LD is still looking supremely confident, despite being out of action for so long! Congratulations to LD as he proves that he still has it in him to win the big titles. LCW should retire now.
Despite being such a 'friend' of LCW and having so much 'respect' for him, it's amazing how often Lin Dan doesn't thank LCW directly after winning the match. I don't like it.
Hate to say it, but LCW doesn't match up well against LD. You're not going to beat LD on skill. Best way to beat LD is Jan O' Jorgensen style. Keep the rally longs, play consistent, and tire LD out. I think Jan O' Jorgensen's win over LD is the first time I've seen LD looking tired in the 3rd set. That's why Jan O' Jorgensen has back to back wins against LD.
I don't know what to say, LCW, even a Lin Dan at 90%, and error-prone at that, is still good enough to handle you.
