ok...that'll be good news for chong wei. Hopefully he'll win this one. I just hioe he'll be able to hold on the no.1 spot as long as he can.
hmm...actually...hard for lin dan to take over... lcw will just add 6oo++ point if he win this...if lin dan just back to scene at november...his point will further drop...as he is denmark open champion......lin dan need more than 3 ss title to back to no.1 again...
Off topic-There's.. ..a good chance LinDan will create an upset or two (depends on the draw and if he falls lower in the MS ranking), once he comes back to full competition in November..
Du Jing and Yu Yang are here in Macau,,,,they are not playing.Macau federation invited all OG winners to come here..hm..for what? hm....may be to see some shows or gambling...not sure how many will be showing up....
Maybe only China Olympic Champ will come to special occasion there, how about Zhang Ning and Lin Dan?!

So much drama between Andrew Smith's match vs Chen Long. We know that time to time, Smith loves protesting calls, etc...I had to admit that today, the linesowoman made at laeast 3 really bad calls...really OUT were called in... Smith protested few times and asked her to be replaced..he got his wish after Referee witnessed the incidents.... The problem I have with Smith is the way he dramatized the whole things or may be it was his tactic to ruin/distract Chen Long's concentration.....Chen Long played too emotional at the end of the game. He got long lecture from his coach. then Smith celebrated his winning by throwing his racket to spectators...he got warning from referee as the way he threw the racket to spectators.....some might feel Smith was angry at them and threw it purposely to hurt them...... Thats big highlight today....
haha....thats different hotel...I do not stay at official hotel, Royal ...I found not so convenient , in term of leisure....
some players went to famous Beverly hotel to see some "candies".......they have "special Combo" menu ( Pahe= paket hemat or paket heboh)
