so close, and in the first game lin dan is always lucky same as when in AG against LCW he lost 16-20 but wo wont it 22-20 in the end.
This bloody LD so lucky always!
I don't think the Jia You fans will agree with you.
look at Hendra Setiawan first, so we can compare to LD, who is really lucky.
btw, Hendra / Ahsan won 22-20 24-22 in first match at Denmark SSP 2014, means only 2 points difference in all sets.
