Let's face it....Lin Dan is just toying around nowadays. Look at the way he played against Tommy yesterday for at least the first set. If he's dead serious about winning a tourney, there's no chance that any other player (except maybe for LCW, Chen Long, and perhaps Jan O' Jorgensen) will even have a chance today.
The same Sony who bet LCW in 2007 in KL. He could have been great had back injuries not taken its toll on him
Yeah, i feel really sad for badminton shuttlers who have a lengthy injury problem, for example, Wang Lin, SDK, another WD players from China, & others. Hope a speedy recovery for Xue Song.
The question is, can Sony keep up this positive play style? Has he got enough stamina left if this goes to a third set?
He will lose the first-set for sure. As to whether he wants to stretch himself to a rubber-set, that depends on his mood in the second-set.
