Its almost as if, LD has fitted one of those super high speed 1 million fps cameras into his eyes! He's almost always in the right place at the right time, sees the shuttle so early! I'm running out of adjectives now... Come on LD just get it done with now and put an end to the misery (Taufik must be thinking just that!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfDoQwIAaXg
How can Taufik beat Lin Dan ? Play as fast as you can - No way LinDan is too quick for Taufik Play loooooong rallies - No way LinDan better fitness level Play net - LinDan is as good at the front + Even if taufik gets short lift, he cant put it away Play defense - No way LinDan attack too good Play flat - LinDan just blocks it or lifts it , he avoids playing flat
nothing is wrong with Taufik play here! LD just does it better... if only it is someone else...Lin Dan (2)(CHN) vs (INA)(11) Taufik Hidayat : 21-9, 21-12
Finally the agony's over for the legendary Taufik. To me,the best way for Taufik to end his career at Lin Dan's hand than at somebody else's, a fitting finale.
Taufik might not be as good as Lin Dan is now, although if he was in his 2004-2005 form, I'm sure he would give him a great fight, maybe even win. Nevertheless, he will forever be remembered as the magician of badminton. No one comes close to Taufik in his style of play or his amazing backhand skills. He was and is the best to watch, and maybe as a coach he can influence others to step up and take his place as the most talented badminton player ever.
