Lin Dan was tired, LCW was fresh. But credit to LCW for beating Lin Dan. Both played very impressive games, and I disagree about motivation. LD was definitely motivated this time, you can see the obvious difference from this one and the ridiculous WC.
game wise ld is much better. we can see most of the time lcw will follow every shots. lcw need to be more dictating. however totally agreed that lcw is much more composed today.
Well, I believe it is a general perception that LD is still the best MS player today eventough LCW has #1 spot in BWF ranking. So, if LCW winning against LD, I consider as an upset. Overall, it is just my personal opinion. You do not need to agree with me.
come on, that' s too mean... we need passion to make the sport more popular... look at football leagues in Europe, look at NBA... even in the gentleman tennis... LD 's self expression act is far far away fr the word "humiliation"!
Good observation uncle OTB. LCW has improved on his EQ level that subsequently contributed to his game overall. Wish more matches of this quality in the future by these two great man.
