Sasaki was fighting bravely, all out... he just trailed quite far away in decider Lin Dan bt Sho Sasaki 14-21, 21-9, 21-15
Lin Dan amazes me. I thought he's still a bit rusty, more erratic than usual and Sho Sasaki is in fantastic form, but he actually turns the match around in splendid fashion. Indeed, a Lin Dan who is not at his best is still damn hard to beat.
u fought back through everything sho we're gonna remember it fo' sho' it was a great battle to watch betwen foes and sometimes in badminton, that's how it goes you two, thanks for the all-round show from the first faltering of lin to his shirt-throw the japanese was brilliant but eventhough he tried his best he got beaten to a dough christmas came early for lin, ho ho ho! kept smashing tho' sho was like no no no this was the result, and behold and lo too tired, sho needs a truck that can tow! woah woah bro, you must be full of woe but we still wanna say xoxo
Credit to Sho Sasaki, no wonder he could beat Son Wan Ho. Come to think of it, Xue Song actually accounted himself well pushing Sho hard before losing narrowly in G3, 21-19.
