LCW lost to LD at home is not that he was off form or whatever. LCW is still a very good player. In previous H2H against LD, the matchup are usually 3-setters and tough game between them. IMO, in TC10, MS was simply out coached by The Thing. As LCW said, he just froze not sure where to place the birdie and he never got into his rhythm. Thing has devised a game plan to take out LCW and LD delivered. LCW said it was not the spectators that affect his game, etc but he lost the game himself. LD was playing badly prior to TC10, LYB realized LCW playing at home would be tough to beat and LCW's recent top form in winning SS would carry over plus the important 1st-point for MAS in TC SF, therefore LYB brought out Thing from retirement to be by LD side guiding LD one point at a time, just like Thing did in OLY08. LD followed the script to a T and the result speak for itself. The Thing coaching may be good, but it also needs a brilliant player to execute them. If you look back at previous LD tourneys, even if LD is trailing, he would rub powder on his racket, look away as CHN coach talk but when it comes to the Thing, that is a whole different respect altogether.
You really reverse your support and high praise for MAS team to calling them wimps...I really worry about you now

As for BAM signing you up for performance manager, that is a good idea, you may be good though...but one thing though, ain't sure BAM can afford you or would you take a raincheck (IOU) and get paid maybe 5-10 years later when BAM has $$$ left over
