    I'm straight and male, so no. Don't think he's particularly blessed in the looks department either, but what do I know? :D

    Can't have both, most entertaining and most stamina. Watching marathon running is not that entertaining. I am actually worried that women's singles as again becoming more passive game. To me most entertaining players are Tai Tzu Ying, He Bingjiao, Ratchanok Intanon and Carolina Marin. They are actively attacking instead of just keeping the shuttle and play and waiting for opponent unforced errors.

    So do you think life is fair if someone just comes into tournament and win it and become WorldChampion?

    Someone like Marin who has never won anything in 2 years, not saying she is bad or what..

    What do you think bwf should do?

    I prefer Li/Liu, more interesting duo, but Liu/Zhang is far too solid to be passed.

    Marin is already one the best WS player ever. Winning this tournament would not be an accident, she does deliver on big occasions.

    Lmao, you could say the same about Chen Long right now or Lin Dan in 2013. Should be forbidden right? Maybe pass a law that you can‘t win a big title when you haven‘t won lower tier tournaments before that year. :p

    Yeah what im saying is what is it any different from
    normal tournaments...

    Of course, i think LCW suffers this more than anyone. so is it fair for him?

    Bwf shouldn't do anything. If you qualify, you play, if you play, you can win. If DL were to win the title, I'd say it's probably the biggest fluke in the history of the sport, but he has the right to compete just like anyone else. A complete match in the current format is long enough to eliminate luck as a significant factor, so anyone winning it earned it...

    MadsDuo are good.. Last year they were drawn 6 consecutives times against Boe/Mo (at their top) which were unlucky and bizarre , imo. met them 3 times? Allengland SF twice . Almost there, but at least they didnt lose finals like Endo.

    Well, life‘s not fair. Ask Chong Wei. He is weak mentally and always loses at the majors to opponents he crushes in normal tournaments

    Im sorry but I disagree honestly i believe TTY and CM to be one of the entertainin ones but RI...sorry but she is of Sn category.

    for me NO and PVS are the most entertainig WS players of all times also its because of their rivalry they have the record of one of the longest badminton games ever and thats what fans what they dont want the match to be over quick then what s the use of buyin tickets...ppl want entertainment and players with suspence.

    and PVS and NO just give it to them...so does TTY and CM but RI and HbJ and CyF are all more of players who would like to finish off games or go down without any defense.

    RI ans SN the same? What? RI has some of the most elegant movement and relaxed, technically (almost) perfect shot making, almost the complete opposite of Saina ...
