hai... asian viewers. ..still sleepy... Thank god, Alhamdulillah taufik won. i've just woken up... i almost got a heart attack when watching taufik vs kenneth, i felt that taufik would lose easily and went to bed when the score was 8-5 for kenneth . LCW has beaten bao with easy way... what a surprised ! bao has a weakness, his defence is poor, most tall players have weak defences. whuaaaaaam i'm still sleepy please give a comment on taufik vs lcw
Just don't be too surprised if its another straight sets win for LCW. I know that for many of us here, TH was one of the best players but looking at his current performance and looking at LCW current performance, they are in opposite directions. I will definitely place my bet on LCW. LCW is not a new player in this game or had just created an upset. We all knew that his win over BCL was as anticipated and if he is gonna play just as well tomorrow, TH will definitely be in deep trouble.
Actually I believe Bao's offensive play or lack of, let him down. Did he have any particular tactic in mind? Chong Wei was just too fast for him. When Bao got a chance , he didn't finish it off. I think even Zhao Jian Hua commented that Bao was excellent technically all round, but lacked big weapons and lacked power in his legs, refering to explosive power. I tend to agree
Lets just hope taufik gets into the game quickly or else he has no chance at all.. LCW really charge in and finish his opponent quickly....
well, i missed taufik's last match,,,never miss this taufik must keep a calm emotion coz it is probably lcw will lead at first.... but i believe he can adjust his form in time when he finds something is out his control, then he will use his skill to manage the match rhythm, he is really a talent on badminton good luck to him
Put it this way, anyone thats in form its gonna be hard for anyone else to beat. If TH is good, he should be consistent and not just relying on his form. Perhaps he should try to request for postponing this match until the day he has his form. I can't imagine what will happen to TH if LCW is in his form tomorrow.
yupe agreed he..he... but ..imo taufik has better baddy technical skill than LCW (esp his backhand) what do you think?
This 2 player will fight for a placein the final, especially Taufik who has said that WC is his priority. So.... he is very well motivated. Just hope that he plays better than yesterday. Another reason is that he will also take revance for his lost in Malaysia Open. Lee in the other hand, will show the world that he is a new born star. That his winning in Malaysia Open is not a 'coincidence'. We expect a good match.
look at it this way. If Taufik plays like he did in the 1st set he will lose, if as in the 3rd he will be on fire and it will be a close match. Personally I would rate Taufik to have a higher toplevel than LCW because of a better technic and an improved smash, but LCW is more consistent as I see it and doesnt lack fighting spirit.
Lee vs Taufik that's great stuff. But, I detect a slight chink in Lee's mental armoury. That might be his weakpoint because Taufik is really mentally strong.
Lee shall win It will be a dog fight between Lee Chong Wei vs Taufik. Regardless how talented Taufik is, if he doesn't play with his 100% then he has not chance as we had withness how the favourite/talented Bao Chunlai was torn apart by Lee with his relentless attack. Today will be another wonderful semi final days and nice to see/meet so many BF's members and Bay Area friends at the Arrowhead Pond, the home of the World Championship.
agree, taufik is really mentally strong look at when he played againts kenneth, first set kenneth led 11-0 and won 15-3 , and 2nd set led 8-3 and it seemed that taufik would lose easily, mightbe kenneth also felt he would win so easily. and just look again taufik was back and fought back, won 2nd set, that mightbe made kenneth's mental down,3rd set taufik led the game and won 15-7 if taufik didn't have such a strong mental , he wouldn't beat kenneth
Yah,=>In Indonesian "Yah, nggak apa2 lah, kasih lah, kasihan pemaen2 Malaysia udah lama nggak menang". In English=>it's OK lah, give the Malaysian player(s) a chance and opportunity they haven't had in a long time. Both their MS and MD are in a really good position to reach the Final and win it all.....
the m'sian players do no need the indonesian players chance and opportunity to win. they can do so own their own merit. i guess sometimes you win some and sometimes you lose some.
heard that they will be using one court only for the semi finals. therefore the schedule won't be correct.
is there any website to check? im so tired wanting to sleep now but i wanna watch that match... gonna set my alarm clock
