Rashid Sidek gets to work with LCW 4 pts up. The crowd in this match, although supportive of Taufik, is not so hostile to LCW as in the WD game. Mexican Wave hits the Finals.
OMG, you know your badminton. I agree, he must be faster, just like Lee Hung Il in the second set at the Olympics and LD in the final. But, easy said than done, LCW is fast.
INA supporters actually admit that LCW performance is great, and we also know that is not easy for TH to beat LCW... IMHO, LCW is better than TH.
Nice x-court backhand smash from Taufik goes wide..LCW with a big lead 17-9.. LCW wins the 1st game...and by the way the game has looked, he should win in straight games..unless Taufik is saving up his energy..
Taufik should avoid lifting if at all possible, play more diagonal fast drives, or engage in tight net battles. At least now he's against the drift.
