Well you really can't blame them, Jan o is a endurance athlete and got a quick semi, so no point. Chen Long moves into the final
Okay Chen Long just won the match 21-13,21-12. I predicted Lin Dan to win but its okay here. I guess Lee Chong Wei who might be watching this match live is smilling now. It is difficult for Lee Chong Wei to win against Lin Dan too lol.
Chen Long, The Dragon has done it ! His very first victory over The Living Legend ! But don't get carried away, wait till you beat a 100% fit Lin Dan , then you will know how good you really are. I won't call it a historic win, a memorable one, yes. Congratulations, Chen Long.
Okay tomorrow we will watch a very exciting match of Chen Long vs Jan O Jorgensen who will be on fire to win again lol.
Well, Lin Dan should know that when he's not at peak condition, he cannot expect to do to Chen Long or Lee CW what he can do to the rest. Age and lack of fitness are natural, inevitable constraints on any human, no exception. It's already amazing , for any player lesser than Lin Dan won't be able to do as well as he did, beating everyone except his near equals despite the constraints. That's why he is Super Dan !
Lin Dan's inability to up the pace proves he is indeed having fitness problem. I'm pretty sure he wants to beat Chen Long who is the only one who can stop him. Once he clears Chen Long, the final against JOJ shouldn't be much of a problem, remember how he beat JOJ at the CHN Open when he was still carrying the knee injury.
Zhang Nan doing double duty in XD and MD is not a very good thing. As the tournament progresses, from the QFs or SFs onward, it will begin to take a toll on him.
Amazing, Carolina won the match against Tai Tzu Ying 21-18, 21-11. I guess she is really on fire to win lol. I guess shouting a lot during matches is good as it will help a player to win. Next time, I will advise all the people who loves playing badminton shout more and you will win the match. Ha..ha
so Bao/Tang YT vs YY/WXL seems likely tomorrow. Maybe it will be better than last year's Ma J/TYT vs YY/WXL.
Bragging time: Well I was first person who said I expect Chen Long to beat Lin Dan. http://www.badmintoncentral.com/for...ist-amp-DRAW?p=2314861&viewfull=1#post2314861 On the other hand though, I expected TTY to win in 3 games. Instead CM won in 2 games. So I got it wrong. So it will be a repeat of the India Open GPG finals. Best of luck, Saina!
I believe, other than Chen long and LCW, the rest won't be able to beat Lin Dan at 80% level, unless his injury worsens or he's physically stretched all the way to the final. However, your saying 'It's difficult for LCW to win against LD too' may be an overstatement but, who knows, you could be right, hard to say.
Zhang Nan just finished his XD match earlier about 2 to 3 hours ago, wonder how he's feeling in this MD match.
Wow, all the shouting and yelling I guess help her to win the matches. I guess probably her opponent lose concentration when she shouted so loudly. Perhaps her opponent may even want to end the match fast as to avoid hearing her shouting non stop. That is Carolina Secret of winning. Hi.. hi
