I'm very disappointed that Santoso has withdrawn. I really felt that he was one of the favorites, and probably the only person who could challenge LCW for the title.
Without Santoso, without Tago, without Lin Dan, this will be a very disappointing WC.
I feel like it adds even more shame to the BWF for not allowing the best player to compete. Now even the other top favorites are out. Don't take your players for granted. A tournament is nothing without the best and most talented players.
Empty win for LCW, without any real challengers.
The China trios: Chen Long, Wang Zhe Ming and Tian Houwei are not real challengers?
