Chen Jin's Day of Reckoning

so its the current world number 1 vs the current world champion, who's the real one? who's the man and who's the boy?

i don't think CJ will be able to handle LCW. in terms of skill, they are not much different, but CJ lacks the instinct. perhaps that why some people calls him robot. there is little fire and little smart in his play. partly why his game is much different than LD and LCW. CJ is only 90% of them.

Agree with this. In fact, SDK even better in term of game plan, but CJ is definitely way more stable, consistent and better mentality.

there's nothing special in chen jin's game. his smash, retrieving, stamina loses to datuk.
overall, he's an inferior version of our great datuk.
while injuries/form are definitely factors deciding matches but the impact is not so much.
with proper intelligence, skills and stamina, the player can avoid aggravating minor injuries and create victories from defeat.
that is a mark of a great champion.

Fair comment. 7 hours to go,to me, I think players at the top are about the same,

it boils down to form and condition on that day.i agree with you mostly.

Tonight's outcomes may be quite revealing and give useful insights .

Totally agree with you...it comes down to form on game day. The better player wins. Somehow, if it is LD, I think LCW tend to respect him way too much but CJ, I think LCW treats him as equal.

Datuk Lee and Chen Jin have one thing in common, both have great stamina. Chen Jin is on the rise while datuk seems to sliding down a bit, either way we can anticipate a great match involves with mixture of long rallies(advantage CJ), net play(advantage datuk), attacking(50-50) and flat exchanges(50-50).
As for Park vs Lin Dan, it's another fire cracker. I don't expect Lin Dan to dominate like in QF(I wonder why Tien Minh played so passive), rather epext to see Park to be the aggressor and attck Lin Dan.
Anyway, lets enjoy the macth tonight!

I think the opposite of you....I think LD will romp over Park, straights...LCW since 2005 has improved so much, his defense is the best in the circuit and I used to joke on his featherweight smash but now, his smash is sharp, accurate and hard, and sneaky with those cross court thingie. I only suspect his mental but then that is if the opponent is LD. I would agree with you that LCW has peaked but not sliding down...yet...watching the BP match, that a heck of a play by LCW, I am impressed. If LCW just play his game, he will win, not easy though. We shall see.
 
LCW didnt look too good against other players so far, something about a knee injury?
Looking back recently, I haven't seen a match between LCW & CJ, will be good to see who's deciding to attack first!
 
3 hours more, will will see a changing of the guard tonight?

Or must we wait till 2012?
 
Playing catch-up

Are we going to see this tonight in the singles, lead 7-8 points, then coast, then a run of points again?

Seems like in certain games, the game is still played like the old 15 points system.
 
where can I buy a Lin Dan mask, I want to wear one sometimes around the KLCC

clubs at night.
 
I got a bad feeling for lee chong wei today. I really hope he will win, but looking at his performance in Asian Games 2010, he isn't doing that well. Hopefully, he can win Chen Jin today.

Tonight Chen Jin gets his opportunity to prove that he no longer lives in the shadow of Lin Dan or Lee Chong Wei and is a worthy winner of the World Championships.

After many close encounters with LCW prior to his injury in 2009 he with the support of his capable coaches should be able to capitalise on the limitations of his opponent and emerge from the shadows to take over as China's best.

Go, Chen Jin, go!

I think it all boils down to physical condition and like what Chris CCC said the extent of injuries carried.

Coaches and players should be able to spot an opponents injuries and take full advantage, it is one thing to be fit but if injuries force strokes to be say 70 % effective, then there is a window of opportunity. It is an opportunity not to be missed by CJ.

As I see it; Chen Jin could get an instruction from LYB to make LCW tired.

LYB could tell CJ this - Win or lose is not as important as to make LCW tired.

IMHO, if LCW cannot win the first game, this match would last more than 1 hour.

Regarding who would win, I guess it's 51% to LCW : 49% to CJ.
.
 
Why would LYB want to tire Chong wei ? I mean i know that he hopes that he won't be fit when he face LD...but wouldn't it better for LYB to give instruction and hope that Chen Jin wins? That would confirm two medals for China:gold and silver.

But anyway, is hard to instruct a person to win. All i can say is Jia You Chong wei !!
