I think LD cannot go all out for a long period, he would be risking injury. He already gave a lot in German open then All England. So I think he decided to go slow here
INA second stringers, Gideon/Sukamuljo downed number one seed Chai B/Hong W despite the Chinese managed good lead at decider.
Frankly, Lin Dan knows in his heart he can beat Son WH anytime. The way he played today, any top 50 player can take him on. Even if Lin Dan wants to conserve his energy for the MAS Open PSS next week, I still hate to see him going out like this in R2. Sigh.
Every tourney these days are tourney of upset isn't it! Lots of upsets right from R1 it wasn't the same in 2015 even less 2014
Well. The first seed is Chinese too. In MD... There are no Chinese Quarterfinalists. In MS only xue song.. Well. I am a bit surprised.
Second round defeat for Lin Dan here, 13-21 / 20-22, he's slower than usual, not a real LD. Next, Son Wan Ho will face Tommy Sugiarto tomorrow.
Lin Dan is slated to meet LCW again in the semifinals next week at the MAS Open. Draw your own conclusions.
haha, as soon as lcw enters live streaming stops. Same yesterday. May be have to wait for one game again to get it without audio
Night time again now. Just as usual that night match for Lee Chong Wei. So again he will sing silent night, holy night. All is warm, all is bright.
