Agreed. LCW needs full recovery before he returns to the court. By the time he is back to play, he will be unseeded as his rank will inevitably dropped. But, I am sure that a legend like him will make a great comeback like before.
they are human too, i hope they have the conscience to not fine a man who recently recovered from nose cancer
The Deputy PM & new BAM patron, Dr Wan Azizah, visited LCW today. From the pics, LCW looks a bit thin but otherwise ok.
Protected ranking allows LCW to play at higher tournament. His last tournament is Indonesia Open 2018. After that, he is ranked 2. When he is back to competition, his rank will be dropped to the point that he can't compete at WT750+ tournaments. That's when protected ranking comes to play. As a result, he will participate at higher tournament as a rank 2 player instead of lower rank player. However, he can't become a seeded player if his rank is protected.
i mean, lets say ur indonesian player n its indonesia open WTS1000 and u want to play in ir home tournament. But ur ranking is like 180, thn cannot play. How?
I think that it is okay. It is definitely doesn't make sense for an Indonesian player ranked 180 to play at WT1000. You just don't pit a low rank player with a high rank player. It is unfair. Also, there are also Indonesia Masters, one is WT500 and the other is WT100. Both of these tournaments have qualification format.
LCW film... in Cantonese/Mandarin. Watch it fast... don't know how long it'll be up... Sent from my SM-G965W using Tapatalk
The films ok, but I think they should have done it a bit later in his career given he has yet to retire and there's a lot of his intriguing story that hasn't been told.
