Are you comparing the stamina of a 24yo vs 34/35yo? Because I am sure LD/LCW take part in almost all high event since 2005-2012.
H2H vs Top 10 players: 1 - 8 vs Axelsen 1 - 1 vs Kidambi 1 - 7 vs Son Wan Ho 1 - 5 vs Lin Dan 0 - 6 vs Chen Long 0 - 7 vs Lee Chong Wei 5 - 3 vs Angus 3 - 0 vs Prannoy Pretty surprising H2H for a world no.6
if VA toenail is growing into the skin... i seem to recall you need a simple chinese medicine to fix that.. forgot what the name... oh well hope denmark doctor has similar drug to treat it
Just arrived and just heard Chen Hong say to his players not to move backwards from the net when they had their game points.
You have no idea about Danish mentality/culture if you honestly believe Kenneth instructed him to stay away from playing Chen Long (or anyone else for that matter). Coaches doesn't even have that kind of power in the Danish system. He got the infection at some point last week, not sure what day exactly. As for your statement about him moving as a gazelle yesterday, it doesn't really change anything even if it's true. Why risk making it worse for a regular Superseries, where he has no points to defend, when a title defence in Dubai is looming around the corner?
meanwhile this INA yulia yosephin beats nitchaon jindapol .... let's see how she fares vs RI tomorrow
There seem to be some people in here who believe that a (seeded) player/pair would withdraw from a tournament simply because they don't want to face some specific other player/pair. I don't know the mentality in Asian countries but I can assure you that no European player would think like that. Those kind of statements all seem to be kind of one-directional. Rhetorical question: Was KS afraid of VA and CL in China since he withdrew? Of course not!
Leading 15-5, looks like he's decided to stop messing around though. Sent from my G8141 using Tapatalk
Somewhat disappointed that VA withdrew last minute. First I was looking forward to a possible Chen Long - Srikanth clash then a rematch of CL - VA, another regret.
