2011 Malaysia Open SS: Day 4 Quarter-Finals (Friday 21-Jan)

fact is that, with the way they train, most of the players are injured in one way or another. Chinese players in particular, many of them are all wrapped up in bandages and protective tapes. i remember seeing ZhangYW after the HK Open, and after that hard match, she was in a lot of pain taking off her tapes. in WC2005 XXF told me personally how she was playing even with injuries in her arm.

they are able endure a little bit of pain, they are trained to do so. it is not whether they are injured or not, most of them are injured. but whether they choose to play even with injury. and how much they would use that injury as a tool to avoid a match. or in some cases, use it as an excuse after losing a match.

If LCW is a good player, then he is great player playing at home. Assuming LD is 'slightly' injured and he uses the doc as a tool to avoid a match with LCW in a meaningless (no OLY points) game, either he is afraid of losing badly or he does not want to play a fit LCW when he himself is not at 100% fitness. Then all the power to him to get BWF and the doc on his side. A disappointment to all waiting for this game that never was.
