i hope lcw wins this time around ... th's exit is a sad sad truth ... but from his performance he stands no chance with ld .... but a th vs ld is a match to watch anytime anywhere ! just wasted he din beat anup at the rubber set ... will anup continue to fight ? and maybe challenge ld ? hehe ... i hope so ! still....all ways to lcw !!!!
what TH has trouble facing BCL? the last BCL hast pawned him was in INA open.. and that was the best BCL could possibly be (watch the video)... but before that, he was pawned rather easily for 3 consecutive times i remember... and another tall player, kenneth jonassen, taufik has only lost once or twice against him... so the the theory that he has height phobia is discounted.. just another thought, in your context, how tall is 'tall'?
I guess all high ranked player lost to underdog before. No big deal. It just happen at the wrong time for Taufik.
Anup's victory coincided with 60th Anniversary of India Independence Day (15 August). Homework for TH if he still wants to defend Olympic Gold next year, not only top-players but unheralded shuttlers like Anup, Nguyen Tien Minh are capable how to overcome him. After TH losing, INA hope to grab MS title on paper is almost close...
