2010 Japan Open SS Day 6 Finals (26 September 2010)

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.

well, the stronger player won today. whether it was because one is tired or one plays just the way he is supposed to play. :)
 
I 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.

Anyway, congrats to Lee Chong Wei for a good victory.
 
What did i said........kkk/tbh still need more to beat Cai/Fu......

KKK/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.
I recall similar comments during KKK/TBH's lost to LYD/JJS in Taiwan Open ;):p

Shh, dont say so loud & reveal so fast ;)
 
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!
 
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.

i have been reading the last so many pages i even lost count in this thread

i think yours is the most well written besides other posters' humor and congratulatory posts

yes, lcw should be playing like this

whether win or lost, the gap should be narrowed by now

as for lin dan, most probably of the back to back tourney.

similar to wc10, still can't guard their house when they are already inside

just look at the 3rd set smashing power by the china pair

they are still there or getting better?

i am starting to believe as one grow older smashing power also increase..lol
 
Thats 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 usual:cool:.. ;);)
 
2010 Japan Open MS Final: CHN has a 80% chance to do a clean sweep

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.
.
So, CHN did not manage do a clean sweep.

IMHO, if this 2010 Japan Open MS Final was to be played over 5 times, then CHN could have won it 4 times; That's what I meant about CHN's 80% chance to do a clean sweep here. ;););)
.
 
..so, after nearly a yr after their last meeting (partly because of many reasons), where LCW forced LD to a rubber games match, LCW *finally* showed up, held his focus and won against LD..;)

FHF & CY also *finally* won their first back-to-back SS tourneys in 3 yrs (last one in 2007, S'pore & INA Open SS)..they're indeed in form and we'll see if they can hold on to that at least until the end of the AG..

There's also a mention abt LD's chances of winning the AG MS title with him playing in the team event. If the format is still the same as in 2006 and if LD is going to be played in all of the group's matches, i can see LD playing a max. of 8 matches (all the way til the individual event MS Final, should he go that far). My hunch is, the CHN coaching team and LD know what's at stake and what will be their priority. I would imagine LD will be played sparingly in the team's group matches and he will be prepared and focused on the individual event. Should CJ heal in time and be included, i could foresee them going with BCL and CJ and CL for most of the team's group matches, and probably feature LD starting @ the KO stages.
Overall, i can only foresee MAS, KOR and INA challenging CHN for the Men's Team title.
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
:p..win or lose for LD in this JO, i think LD's focus will still be on AG..

LCW is only 170cm tall??

173

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...

how many time lin dan beat lcw this year?

LD won't win, because this is in Japan....;)

why?no line judge protection?

is this LCW first win over LD since he at the No 1 world ranking???

no

shhhhhhhhhhhhhh
haha
 
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.
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.

:D:D:D:D:D

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.

;););););)
 
Did i just hear feel good???
