Mind-blowing,I'm dazed. Lin Dan need not play like Super Dan to beat such a dangerous opponent as Viktor Axelsen !
Lin Dan survives QF after Axelsen, despite leading comfortably, decided to explode and go on to suicide mission.
Now the next question is, can Lin Dan overcome his young teammate Shi Yuqi who is determined to have his shot at fame tomorrow ?
Axelsen probably should take a psychologist to help him. His mental weakness is really a problem, bringing him to his own demise.
many pple (i think mostly newbie to badminton) are cheering for VA after g1, saying he is better (especially after watching him beat LD in Rio) and LD should retire. now those neutrals and LD fans are countering that VA should retire instead.
So disappointed with VA! All credit to LD who didn't panic after that disasterous first game and kept his cool. You could say he was aided once again by VA's impatience and fragile mentality but still great play by him.
