What do you understand about talent?the problem with LCW was that he was beating all the other upcoming heroes and old masters too easily so when facing a true master he crumbled under the pressure losing six straight point in the dying moments of the rubber set.. LD played the big points well like the 1st set against SS when he was down 16-20 and calmly crawled back and win.
agreed or not LD got the talents while LCW had to work very hard to be where he is right now.
What an amazing match and classic showdown it was.
Although I always maintain a neutral stand as a badminton fan, I've been critical of LCW. Not of his skills but of his antics and bad attitude towards opponents. My previous observation of him was; he had a mindset that he's best of the lot, and loses only it was because of unreasonable circumstances.
But after today's final dual, there's not a doubt in my mind that he is able to change and showed me that he is a player of true caliber. Those cocky attitudes are gone and he is finally able to concentrate on his own game and bring out the best of LD to beat him.
Skill wise and physically I would say both of them are on par. But unfortunately, it was Datuk’s poor temperament and lack of concentration at the finishing line that loses out.
Judging by his performances (at this tourney I meant) I don't think LD is injured and we have to give credit to SS who has definitely improved by leaps and bounds. I would say LD is a very shrewd player who knows how to pace himself and conserve energy for crunch matches. IMO, this is why Datuk who always play his heart out could not get the better of him thus far. Nevertheless, if he could maintain such classy performance like today's and not falter towards the end, I'm confident it won't be long for him to have his day.
Having said all that, I hope die-hard LCW fans could finally be humble enough and come to terms with the fact that “There's always a higher mountain” and give credits and respect to whoever they are due.
Finally, I hope this will settle the debate between LCW and LD die-hard fans;
WORLD No. 1 status undoubtedly belongs to LCW because his attendance and success rate at individual tourneys which offer ranking points is second to none. Judging by his current ranking point's status I don't see any player will be able to surpass him in the near future.
Without a doubt both LCW and LD are the two best players at present. If we were to compare their achievements and head to head, then the rightful candidate for the WORLD'S BEST PLAYER (up till now) must be LD. Our beloved Datuk might have to wait a little while longer to take that accolade from him, I guess.
Fair enough?![]()
No Lin Dan , china can still send on Chen Jin , Bao Chun lai and Chen Long for other super series.
If Malaysia dont send Lee chong wei for tournaments , who else can they send ?
They still need their World No 1 Chong wei to be there.
Ya, though the 2 chens and bao still cant compete with lin dan & lcw, but they can beat most (maybe every) other players. who's the next lcw in malysia, lcw is no longer young... lcw can hold till london? big doubt on it!

I think most who watched the match made correct observations. There is no better closer in the game than LD. Yes his fast and furious style may have given way to a more calculated and tactical game but as we've seen, he possesses that extra gear. When he decides to step up, the intimidation factor kicks in. In this case LCW, while prepared, still had no answer as he became flustered and untidy. One other thing is LCW committed more unforced errors than LD-to beat LD, he can't afford to donate free points.
Unfortunately for LCW, LD still owns him mentally at the end game. That said LCW has made up ground.
Luckily for us, thanks to new BWF rules and the Olympic qualifying period, we could well see the encounter we all wish for many more times. Please LD, please don't give cheap walkovers and deny us these increasingly rare matches.
London qualifying season is coming soon so LD will play 10 tournaments and Im expecting a lot of LD vs LCW finals
the question is: who will win most of them to take #1?
you might want to revise that statement ^^
but then LD might have to give free wins to teammates so they get enough to beat PG and Taufik into the top 4...

LD passed your passionate plea to the BOSS LYB...sorry, NO DEAL....cantonese and english sounds the same lah![]()
If there was a like button like on Facebook... then this would definitely get countless clicks![]()
@OldBadFan, agree with your good summary. As for me, I am only a bit confused that LCW easily crashed CL, DPY, even CJ and BCL which LD mostly cannot defeat his compatriots that easy. By looking LD matches at SF and F, he is now becoming very tactical even when against Simon, what a very smart guy LD is.
LCW also has the ability to inject the pace when needed, but mostly he applied the high pace at the very beginning of the game. That's the other CHN MS cannot cope with but LD surely can. Congratulation LD.
