2016 Bonny CHINA Masters GP Gold : FINALS (24th April)

Chen Long's athleticism is causing Lin Dan a fair bit of problem.

 

CL seems to be telling LD "What you can do, I can also, sometimes better!"

 

12-16, Lin Dan still behind.

 

I think LD has learnt from his SO mistake for allowing Sony to make a comeback from behind. So now he has to make every shot count.

 

This is a real test of wills , not a practice match. The two are showing quite a bit of their true colours.

 

What a x-ct net shot from Lin Dan again !

 

LD still trailing 15-17 but has caused some problems to CL with his lovely net crosses!

 

Fox, where are you? I can't believe you are not watching.

 

Short lift from CL duly punished by a quick LD 16-17. He is near.

 

Lin Dan showing more and more glimpses of his former brilliance, spendid.

 

Chen Long is pushing Lin Dan to the limit.

 

Hey guys

 

Chen Long grazes his finger and needed medical attention. Just nice for a break, Lin Dan would appreciate it.

 

Give me this kind of GPG game over any Superseries any day. Every points played with perfection, just brilliant.

 

A cross court smash from CL duly anticipated by LDs dive, but his return failed to cross over. He seemed to blame the lights.

 

Only 1 pt in it for Lin Dan, 16-17.

 

Beautifully said.

 

Back level, 18-all !

 

Chen Long misses it, x-ct smash goes wide.

 

Lin Dan in full flow now
