Exquisite 2nd game by Chen Hong who did not put a foot wrong. Haven't seen him play like this for a long long time - a dream game with full use of the wrists -fancy flicks and and those incredible smashes down the line on both sides. So many were out of reach for LD. LD was getting rather frustrated and and snatching at many of the shots htting them in the net or completely out mumbling to himself each time he muffed a shot. Hope CH keeps it up. I want him to win. Y
Finshed CH wins 15-2 and a popular one too - the crowd was delirious. Good for Chinese badminton after those demoralising consecutive losses by Xia to LD recently. I think many people were wanting for along time to bring LD down to earth or at least a peck or two, even after his ouster at the Olympics. LYbo was nearly in tears as he watched the last 2 points - face red and eyes glistening. LD is his pet. Y
:crying: what happened to LD? he never gave up on score like this 15-2 is too easy ... Anyway congratulation to CH... I guess LD is too tired after 2 matches with rubber sets
