Peak CTC losing again would have been quite a sight.
All depends on how LD will perform until next May. He needs to at least be in top 8 to qualify (unless both SYQ and CL have lower ranking than him). Haven't yet watched his match today, but he didn't walk away over some dispute line calls so I assume he is pretty serious about it.So does he have a believable chance to go to Tokyo now or will SYQ resume form after a few months?
You see what you want to see. Surely there is a conspiracy against Lin Dan, otherwise he would not have lost a single match in his career.Some linesman robbed him again. Robbed at gun point, at 21-20.

Well, at least we should celebrate Lin Dan's sportsmanship for not withdrawing from the match or any tournament. Baby steps.You see what you want to see. Surely there is a conspiracy against Lin Dan, otherwise he would not have lost a single match in his career.
If you look at that linecall again, frame-by-frame, it is clear that shuttle hits Lin Dan head and changes trajectory before landing. And still he protests the line call![]()
i thought i was watching a korean tournament...Some linesman robbed him again. Robbed at gun point, at 21-20.

Any news how bad the injury is? Just a sprain, or did he tear something (hope not). That swelling looked insane on camera.Hopefully a speedy recovery for him. That ankle swelled up so quickly and big.

The Lin Dan vs Chou Tien Chen video is here, judged for yourself at 21-20 with Lin Dan on matchpoint
Win or lose, getting the linecall right is most important, as a matter of principle. Of course, it can't change anything now, that doesn't mean we can't talk about it for interest's sake.Judge what? He's lost so he's lost. I don't think anything matters now.

Linecall mistakes can be corrected by Hawk-eye IRS, not net faults which is up to the umpire. But, yeah, I get your point.I remember the same case of World tour finals when Sameer Verma was level at 20-20 at second game against SYQ (SV won the first game). At that time SYQ killed the shuttle before the shuttle crossed to his side of the court. SV was robbed of that point. But yeahh, that's life. What's done is done. Umpires and line judges are also error prone.
But the point is, the technology that is needed to correct those errors is there(since 15+ yrs, if anybody knows about cricket they will know) like incase the shuttle had touched the racquet frame while going outside the baseline, or atleast referring up a third referee(like third umpire in cricket) to whom we could challenge the netkill faults. Everything possible error can be rectified, and I don't know why the umpires have been given that much of power.Linecall mistakes can be corrected by Hawk-eye IRS, not net faults which is up to the umpire.

They have that power because otherwise no one could decide and youd have disputes all the time. It might be possible to introduce a hawk-eye system for the net, but those things aren't cheap. Afaik they cost a 5 figure sum per day and court, but that's just a number in my head for some reason, not a sure thing at all. But you're welcome to develop a system yourself if it's that easy (hint: it isn't).But the point is, the technology that is needed to correct those errors is there(since 15+ yrs, if anybody knows about cricket they will know) like incase the shuttle had touched the racquet frame while going outside the baseline, or atleast referring up a third referee(like third umpire in cricket) to whom we could challenge the netkill faults.

I don't think so. Shuttle was never going over the net but Shi Yuqi did contact the shuttle from his own side. See this image:I remember the same case of World tour finals when Sameer Verma was level at 20-20 at second game against SYQ (SV won the first game).
