    He told the press that he lost because he didn't play well and was still injured, iirc. But that's a whole different ball game than telling your opponent something like that at the net after shaking hands.

    We know LCW had a hamstring injury last year, skip 3 straight SS event.

    Or maybe LCW did speak english and said that full sentence?
    I don't know, man. This statement is so believable.

    I haven't watched the match, I will watch it later, but can someone tell me how did LCW lose to Brice Leverdez? (no offense to Brice)

    Three years is a long time, a long wait, for a 35-year-old professional athlete.

    Slow hall + Leverdez's outstanding court coverage + LCW not playing with his usual speed.

    I don't think he can defeat THW, stands a chance against HKV though

    Simply put, Brice Leverdez played the match of his life, but the same could not be said for LCW who couldn't get his game going like he always did against anyone other than LD and CL. I'm in no way saying LCW played badly, just not the way he usually could in disposing of players he's expected to beat.

    LCW came here (slightly?) injured (or not fully recovered?), that explains it. A shame it has to happen at such a critical time. Hope to see him next year at Nanjing 2018 WC.

    He did play badly except a few rallies. Plenty of mistakes and wide shots.
    He is just not that consistent anymore.

    His playing speed is slow and not like last year LCW. He is too passive and failed to attack when he had a 14-9 lead in third set.
    Blame him and coaches for lack of strategy. Also the hall is slow.

    I think so. If you are referring to my posts above, @CIA-99 and I were talking about the time BL beat LCW at the Denmark Open when LCW was still having a hamstring injury. And I thought you read somewhere that LCW is currently (at the WC 17) injured or something. That's why I asked if you read anything online.

    My apologies then, I was mistaken thinking you're talking about LCW's post-match interview here.
