Now Li Yongbo has every reason not to be worried for his protege Lin Dan played such a casual game today. Never was he on the verge of a critical loss.
Boonsak had no answer when LD upped the pace. LD then unloaded a series of killer cross court smashes that BP could only wave at. In the end, BP didn't even move for it. In summary, a clinical display by the world #1.
If Taufik Hidayat and Lee Chong Wei are watching, they're unlikely to be very pleased with what just happened
BP proved to be a great challenge, too bad his fitness level is so poor... Didn't he recently fail some fitness test set by Thailand Badminton... He has great defense and lethal backhand attacks at times.
It was so strange to see Boonsak lift so many times to Lin Dan's forehand back corner. That is one of LD's strongest spots... and he punished quite a few of the lifts with his trademark crosscourt winners
but PSH will be more ready to challenge LD compare to those two... Korean player always like the challenge
