Yes, he looked tired in the final. But we have to give it to him for winning the China Masters last week, I'm not trying to take credit from LCW but LCW was fresher from the start, and LD played a little too passively at times where he should have smashed. Most noticeable in the 1st, and 3rd after the interval.
What did i said........kkk/tbh still need more to beat Cai/Fu......
I recall similar comments during KKK/TBH's lost to LYD/JJS in Taiwan OpenKKK/TBH ar, lost concentration in the 2nd game, the momentum flew to the China pair and never came back. Don't know what happened to TBH especially, and KKK couldn't outplay CY at all.
I must say in the third game : DISAPPOINTING.
Shh, dont say so loud & reveal so fastI have mentioned in the past that Lin Dan rarely won 2 back-to-back tourneys held in consecutive weeks.
It will be a real test for him in the AG where he has to help Team CHN defend the Team Event first, which means he has to entertain players like Park Sung Hwan, Taufik Hidayat, or Lee Chong Wei en route to the Gold Medal and perhaps to face the same set of players in the Individual Event yet again. Remember...he beat Taufik twice in a row in the Team Event, but to be undone in the most important one...the MS Final in 2006.

this is how LCW should perform when playing against LD. I don't like LCW's losing like not knowing how to play; even to lose, to lose after fighting hard.
LD is a little slower and doesn't attack even when he has chances; maybe because of back 2 back super series. Let's wait for the head up on AG.

For Koo/Tan, dejavu again as they won the first set, led 11-9 at the second set and won only 5 more pts subsequently to lose the second set. The third-set is a giveaway.
The key is focus and consistency when facing the CHN pair. Not to let down your guard even when leading. If the match goes to a rubber, more often than not, the CHN pair will win.
Fu/Cai certainly will be the favorites when it comes to the AG this November. Their form is so irresistable right now!
Nope, that shows you all have not seen the trend, hahaha. Refer my comment on Day 1 threadThats showed they havent improve enough to beat top pairs.......
They can advance to final but still can't revenge their Final match in paris last month! KKK made way too much mistakes and played too much fancy shot as usualThats showed they havent improve enough to beat top pairs.......
.OK, perhaps words are not enough to comment. Perhaps, numbers are required to quantify.
IMHO, CHN has a 80% chance to do a clean sweep.
Both camps have their excuses ready:
Boleh–LCW has a bad back
Jia You–LD concentrating on Asian Games
So whoever wins will be discredited heavily by the other side
LCW is only 170cm tall??
like i said, LD is not keen to win this SS. he's more like to find out what's LCW now, testing LCW this and that... LD is merely preparing to meet LCW in AG...
LCW, without the mental block and "back injuries" that normally struck him at top tier competitions like WC and OG, plays more vividly at SSs.
also LD had won enough matches over LCW this year, it's LCW's turn...
therefore i placed my bet on LCW this time...
LD won't win, because this is in Japan....![]()
is this LCW first win over LD since he at the No 1 world ranking???

Anyway, congrats to Lee Chong Wei for a good victory.

I agree with you the 2010 YJOSS MS final match between LCW and LD was one of the best display of a singles match by 2 great exponents of badminton.It is not disappointing at all, Lin Dan played very well but more errors than his opponent. It was one of the BEST MS match I had seen for so long. A real fight between LCW and LD this time round, although LCW was fresher.

Hey, i saw sms comment to The Star, SK Chen or something, is that you???
Ya, you are so observant. Thanks.
I always feel good when I see LCW wins and he is so humble about it even at the rostrum where he would invite the losing opponent to join him. His All-England win was a case in point where he did the lap with the Malaysian flag and the applause was deafening.
