    Christie jst got Danned lolz

    Though I feel christie is acting too over smart in front of the legend.

    He needs to learn how to respect his elders ..I loved the indian kid how he behaved and stayed humble during the match and how Dan never stared or showed any arrogance in return to that kid.

    I think Dan is a nice person it depends how u treat him on court.Players who are kind to him he always greets them nicely after match even after losing or wining.

    Christie is a nice player but cmon show some respect.

    LOL..

    I think Jonatan is showing too much respect to LinDan, thats why there are many shots that are wide and unforced errors and judgment.

    Just saw a clip of her. It looks deliberate. She's used her time off to develop more body strength.

    I wonder what Indonesian coaches can do to increase Christie's speed on his footwork.

    After trading blowing smash at first half now they trading mistakes.

    If LD loses the 2nd game, he might lose to fitness.

    Jonathan 16-13 up.

    Lin Dan is visibly tired, his follow-up on his attacking shots is weak. I think he will lose this set and the decider. A repeat of the AE final with SYQ.

    Luckily he need not play every round at the Thomas Cup.

    At this rate I expect LD to pull all his tricks to do disguise shot, Christie's legs not very promising to change direction.

    Jo really needs to cut his unforced errors. About three at the net.

    LOL at LD trying to delay the match again.

    I'm somewhat surprised at the umpire's patience at LD.
