    He was under no pressure today. Clear underdog. VA struggles to play well against players he's supposed to beat.

    LD no, LCW maybe yes. Has VA beaten LCW before? Lazy to check.

    Lin Dan perhaps. He likes attacking a defensive player like Lin Dan.
    Son Wan Ho's extreme defence and slow play is hard to stop.

    Nothing going right for CL ...his performance similar to those in those team events against Tago and SWH...VA was incredible .....kudos to him.... dominated the net with super deception and had good defense,mental strength we always knew abt the attack.....will he become the second Dane to win the WC? It sure looks like it.

    Yeah, once. When they met in Dubai. But I highly doubt LCW in his current form could beat this VA.

    To play against VA you need to be aggressive and speedy enough,and CL did exactly the opposite today. Xia Xuanze should take some responsibilities for CL's defeat.

    Yes, somewhere in Asia, the most happening place in the world now, but don't ask me where.

    VA was in "terminator" mode today. His game play was close to perfect

    The question is, VA has lost to Lin Dan the last time they met at AE despite a roaring start in taking G1 comprehensively.

    Lin Dan, it's difficult to say which Lin Dan might show up. Son Wan Ho, you more or less know what to expect from him.

    OMG Gillian just said that Joachim Fischer BROKE HIS LEG in that 2nd round. How terrible :(

    Officially the end of his carreer I am sure.. Not comeback from this at 38 years old.

    Edit: Steen just precised that he broke his ankle

    That time, LCW just returned to court after 3 month injury.

    Not that it's been of much use given the eps were leaked and consumed long before :p
