LCW does not explicitly compare himself to Nadal. However, he likens his rivalry against LD to that of Nadal vs Federer.
http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/Saturday/Sport/2564195/Article/index_html
it's upto you to decide whether LCW considers himself the Nadal equivalent or Federer equivalent...
my guess is LCW compares himself to Nadal... (come on, does he really think he is like Federer?!) but as I said in my previous post in this thread, comparing himself to Nadal is foolish and at best, premature. As much as LCW wants to believe it, it will never be the case until he starts beating LD when it matters.
dont put somethings u guess into his mind! it is absolutely right for LCW to have ambition to beat LD. It is the right attitude for any professional player, to better oneself and to be the best.Thanks for the reply.
As you said,..he is comparing merely the rivalry betwee him and LD to Nadal/Roger....he didnt say he's like Nadal nor Federer......
Please dont put somethings u guess into his mouth...he didnt say that.....
Yes, he knew its foolish to comapare himself to Nadal.... thats why he never said it...........please be fair to him........
LCW always know LD is better than him,...but it is wrong for him to have an ambition to beat LD........I personally think that is the right attitude for a professional player........![]()
haha,ya
agree agree
so do lindan need to beat u to prove he is not only better than taufik,but also u?
can i complain like:lindan won wc/tc/sc/ae/og JUST because he never meet the top timor leste ms player?
anyway,the FACT IS:
cj is better than lcw because cj have ae
and bcl is better than lcw as lcw never enter wc final
prove what? no need proof lar,he cant even overcome hafiz the 2003 ae winner(acording to many bcers theory,the major title theory)
read the post below if u dont understand what is the major title theory
proof what?he not the 2nd best,
th(og winner) is there,peter gade(ae winner) is there and the list go on
u should know who is better now
see,ajaib,ur point is meaningless
acording to the major title theory
cj is one of the best,peter gade is one of the best,lindan is one of th best,so is th,but lcw?![]()

...
In the press, he has likened his rivalry against LD to that of Federer vs Nadal (regarding himself as the equivalent of Nadal presumably).

Well when you are comparing your rivalry to Nadal v Federer then it is IMPLICIT you liken yourself to either Nadal or Federer, no? So I'm not putting anything into LCW's mouth! I'm just exploring both alternatives, neither of which is feasible.
However, you are right, nothing wrong with ambition to beat LD.
It's just that, he made quite a bold statement. Nadal is a freak of nature, he is 5 years younger than Federer (just turned 23 yrs old this month) and has beaten Federer far more times than Federer has beaten him (H2H is 13-7 in favour of Nadal). I have been watching the Federer/Nadal rivalry closely since it started in 2004. By all means, LCW can use Nadal as a source of inspirationbut, at this point in time, his rivalry with LD is by no means similar to the great rivalry of Nadal v Federer.

that's what I said, LCW talks too much, that's really disappointing...
Technically, no. Similarly, when a person says that "comparing a Yonex to a Lining is like comparing Apples to Oranges", he did not say that Yonex is an apple and Lining is an orange. LCW's statement makes no implicit claim likening himself to Nadal or Federer.
However, you did not put anything into LCW's mouth. You simply misrepresented him.
Lin Dan can't attack as much as he used to while I have also managed to regain my confidence and challenge him.

hmmm, didn't LD waxed LCW lately in sudirman cup and all england or is lcw basing his spectacular win of 09 swiss open as his anchoring point?
Also, consider the context of the following passage.
"It used to be Lin Dan against Taufik (Hidayat of Indonesia) but I have been able to challenge the Olympic champion now. The rivalry is something like Nadal against Federer," said Chong Wei yesterday.
I sincerely doubt I misrepresented LCW based on these comments...
In soccer:
TH = Brasil, LCW = Argentina, PG = Italy, LD = Poland
In Boxing:
TH: Muhammad Ali, LCW = Foreman, PG = Joe Freizer, LD = Lennox Lewis
In Tennis:
TH = Bjon Borg, LCW = Nadal, PG = Pete Sampras, LD = Michael Chang
