I can't even remember the last time Lin Dan lost any match in team matches. When was it the last time @Nine Tailed Fox
There is a reason why Lin Dan is badminton's superstar. He won almost 99.9% of the most crucial events and moments. The kind of person you can depend on in crisis and he will carry you through.
For the first time since 1993, China might not make it to the Sudirman Cup final. This is a historic moment.
One more thing.....Xia Xuanze and Zhang Jun should also be blamed for this travesty....What were these lineups in the first four matches? Are they here for picnic and amusement? Why was an out of form and out of sort XD pair selected instead of an almost invincible XD pair? Changing Line ups like they are playing Uganda and Mexico/// No player playing today had that consistency or rhythm required to pull out a dominant performance thanks to the prior team selections.
In 2008 vs Malaysia in Thomas Cup when he had Fu HF/ Cai Yun, Bao Chunlai and Chen Jin all in their prime to bank upon along with himself. But his 2010 Thomas Cup performance was the most inspiring performance I have ever seen by a badminton player. Literally abused, booed on every point in the enemy territory and he played like that...
And the Chinese coach is asking the pair not to rush the shuttles... I hope Takamatsu can recover back, but mentally I've seen them break against this CHN pairing in the last two encounters so I'm not gonna hold my breath...
Although Takamatsu are my favorites for a long time I can't help myself but to support CQC. So powerful, so energetic, so determined, they left the JPN pair clueless after the interval, wonder what there coaches suggested
I hope Matsutomo don't resort to flicking all the time, just varies the serves a little bit. Last time she did that they lost on the return of serves.
CQC celebrates every point (including an easy UE by opponent) so much, I bet it's more then what SJH has done in her entire career combined
