Well some might opine that LD is 'favored' & therefore enjoy a little more success than others in the tournaments. To get to that 'favored' position in the first place requires discipline & hardwork. I just hope envy will not lead to resentment as have appeared with some in this forum.

My opinion is that the men's single has always been competitive. You can have a good draw but if you are not up to the mark on that final day (for whatever reasons), you will still fall.

I don't think you understand our analysis.
By the way, one Singapore Radio station reported LD's DO win in a funny way.It said he won without having to beat hot seeds like TH and LCW.Rather cheeky, huh?

That's true. LD has compatriots like BCL, CH, CJ & CY to help him clearing the path. But poor LCW has to fight alone.

LCW would have collected more titles if he were in LD's shoes.

Isn't it amazing that LCW can still win titles playing as a lone ranger? It's better this way.
 
I think LD is beatable!! In fact he shows signs of "cracking". He use too be very consistant but this year he started to lose to players that he has never or seldom lose to . He lost to Park sung Hwang early this year, Boonsak in the middle of the year. Also he lost twice to LCW in neutral gound. Late last year he lost to LHY in Asian Game team event. In fact LCW is a very big threat to him and he knows it. I personally don't think LD has any advantage at all when he face LCW now. Skill wise LCW is on par with LD in every aspects. In fact, LCW defence and net play is even better that LD.

No one can deny LD is a very good player. He has a very consistant successful record to show that. I personally tick my hat off to him for producing such consistancy. But he is also fortunate to have his teammates to eliminate some tough opponents in tournaments. This is a fact. Even He himself and chinese coaches acknowlegde that. They say this is " team" advantage.

Nah. Federer is way better than Lin Dan because Federer doesn't have "team" advantage. Frankly, without his teammates, Lin Dan will be a frequently beaten finalist/semifinalist or even quarterfinalist. Lin Dan knows it and so does the CHN team.
 
Yeah! You are so spot on with that statement!

but I must admit that Lin Dan's diving skills is much better than LCW's diving skills.

I think we understand your analysis, Lin Dan and Chong Wei are equally good except Lin Dan gets a lot of help from his capable team mates. Fair statement, I don't argue with that.

i dont agree, i think lcw's diving skills are better. cos lcw can dive anytime last minute even when the shots are unexpected at all. lindan can dive beautifully only when he had expected that shot earlier.;)
 
lcw is like a 1001bhp bugatti veyron - fastest production car
ld is like a 900bhp F1 race car - fastest on track

who's the best? i dont know.
 
what do you think? who will win the game between bjoern joppien and marc zwiebler?? the winner will participate in main draw!! i hope and think marc will do it!!!

i have never quite understood why so many people think LD benefits from a "team advantage" after all the rest of the chinese team also clears the path for LCW too especially if LD & LCW are seeded 1 & 2. This would make sense only if matches featuring LD vs any chinese player were fixed.. which i don't believe:rolleyes:
