It's been a massacre so far. All red flags on the winner's side and tattered remains of an assortment of others on the defeated.
congrats to LD but also congrats WCH for making it into the final. Looks like China will sweep all 5 titles now.
so LD won. very good display of skills and awareness by the veteran WCH on the first game. it was very close and i thought he could've pulled 20-all but he narrowly missed the opportunity. on 2nd WCH just couldn't get used to the faster side of the court and LD took advantage of that. nearly 1/2 the points that WCH got in the 2nd game was of LD's errors. WCH slowed down even more on the latter half the game and there was just no way for him to come back after LD stepped up his pace. but despite so, WCH showed some good fighting spirit when all the elements are against him.
the final matches are not exciting....all winners won in 2 sets..... We need INA WD, last hope to prevent CHN's clean sweep
At this age, Choon Hann just doesn't have the speed and power to match the younger and talented Lin Dan. Even Choon Hann setup for the kill or in the position to win the point, his strenght and speed failed him. Still proud of Choon Hann for able to fight his way deep into the round.
I have my heart all on the Indo's WD now. But the chance of them lifting the CO cup??? Hardly over 20%...
Props to WCH for making it this far...one of my fav players. Took out Chen Hong, Sony K and used his wits to outplay Wacha.
Because finally he can stand on the stage n receive the trophy again fr the organiser after a long long time..
it is so great that when XXZ and ZN steps into the same court, they play the match as if they are in the Olympics final instead of just a training match.
It is indeed strange, why are all of them Chinese? I do not say that Chinese is unfair, but this kind of thing could derive an opinion that bad calls may happen to non-Chinese players. Anyway, Chinese players seem play quite well today, excluding all the bad calls. In my opinion, IBF should think about this matter. I think it might be better if the umpire and service judge are not from the countries of the players which are playing. So, for example, as China has all its players in each field, so there should be NO CHINESE umpire and service judge. Hope IBF will think about this. This is indeed to make badminton more popular in this earth.
actually, the most suprising result (IMO) of this event is WCH making to the final which is a huge achievement already.
