Wow great win by the Chinese young pair! Thought they would lose to the more experienced Koreans. WD HUANG Dongping LI Yinhui - JUNG Kyung Eun [2] SHIN Seung Chan 20-22 21-13 21-18 in 1:24 -- what a long duration!
Lin Dan [4] bt CHOU Tien Chen [7] 21-14, 21-12 It happens that LD did not avoid seeing Dato LCW eyes to eyes again on tomorrow as some detractors had suggested earlier
What a display of badminton of the highest order from Lin Dan . Great, we are in for a treat, Lin Dan - Lee CW big battle.
@nokh88 you're right, LD dont get thrashed by anyone, on the contrary he just thrashed someone today . The next Nostradamus you are.
Lin Dan just demonstrated how an old man uses consummate skills and experience to counter a young man's raw speed and power.
CTC's movement is fast, but his reflexes are comparatively slow. Many times I've seen him "lag" for a brief moment before dashing for a shot, which makes him not as efficient as he could be.
I take it that he has to both think what shots to play and guess LD's shots at the same time, hence the tentativeness.
