2013 Wang Lao Ji BWF World Championships : Day 5 (9th August 2013) - QUARTERFINALS

Slow and patient game...very few explosive shots...just a like chess game...probing and probing...and attack when the opportunity arises.

 

Chen Long has got a very good backhand.

 

excellent smash by LD..

 

Lin Dan outmanoeuvring Chen Long

 

Chen Lon has to be more aggressive

 

I know, it looks like they are over-cautious n not playing all out. More like "acting".

 

That's the smash we're all been waiting for from LD. 13 - 10

 

What a net cord, stuck, amazing !

 

well that's cool! The bird on the tape!

 

wow, hang at the net... that's a first.. ruled in LD's favour

 

OMG. The shuttlecock is hanging on the net. LOL

It's like it's saying,"Meh, I won't be moving to anywhere else"

 

Bad call by the umpire, I think

 

good entertainment so far. Fans should be happy.

 

Lin Dan is so deceptive nowadays.

 

Just as "planned". 17 - 10 for LD.

I do agree that call was false one.

 

yes, that's more like it, smash it, Chen Long.

 

Chen Long is gradually being outplayed by Lin Dan

 

Unlucky for CL to be faulted. The shuttle hit the net cord and fooled the umpire

 

two controversial calls so far.

1. birdie hanging at the net
2. faulting CL a few minutes later.

 

Poor Chen Long. Luck and a few calls against him and he's fading away.
Hopefully he'll come out guns blazing for game two.
