LHI could've beaten LD, too bad hes gone into oblivion. LD in horrible form or could this be a hoax? He suddenly surges into insnane form and pwns int he final?
Lol.... r we watching the same match? LD is struggling to find his form! He might lose if he continues to play like tat tmr.
lol zqloy ive seen lindan play and today he wasn't in top form. but i think he'll call it out when he needs it. he is still after all, world no. 1. anyway, heard he sustained injury in SO, is it true? what sort of injury?
You gotta be kidding! Do you know the meaning of 'relaxed'? When LD shows more teeth during play, it means he's stressed up! KOR's right to field SSM cos he's known to be a fighter. He's not a silver Olympic medallist for nothing.But it took LD 1 hour to take out SSM who has only played one tourney so far in 2007. Maybe he's still recovering from injury, huh? (But he can still thrash SSM in the first game.)
Yup he is not playing well today. He is injured during Swiss Open earlier this year. Anyway he must hv well recovered already.
LD got injured during Swiss open, he recovered but after Singapore open as you can see his blog at badzine..he decided to skip Indo open as he felt too many good players at Indo open...my guess is that LD does not like Indo's hostility and he does not have a good record yet when he plays in South east region....
yeah i've realised that he somehow always loses SG Open... seen him play here in Singapore twice now and he lost both. First to TH in '05 and to Boonsak Ponsana this year. He supposedly complains of the killer heat and humidity. At least he performs in other important tourneys!
ok, now we know why PSH was not selected. He lost his contact lens! But I think he would have been easier for LD. In MO07 , he beat LD partly because the crowd was against LD and LD was mentally exhausted from playing TH the day before besides playing well.Today,the crowd's 99% behind LD and he had a day's rest to recover from the mental exhaustion of playing and losing to LCW. LD won't stand a chance against TH tomorrow. AS will be like a training and warm-up session for TH so he'll be fresh tomorrow.
Lol... Ina has to beat England 1st! Anyone know whats the line up for that? It is same as China vs Korea?
Even though Lin Dan has not been playing well lately, but I believe he still has enough to beat Andrew Smith tomorrow and gain an important point towards China's victory. The best explaination of Lin Dan's recent drop in form... After XXF's victory at the All England, Lin Dan gave her a kiss in front of the crowd. Now that one kiss is actually a transfer of power just like in those old fashion martial arts novels. According to the theory, it takes a minimum of a few months to a year to re-gain full power once again. Meanwhile, with the additional power received from Lin Dan, XXF will be the complete unstoppable player until she retires.

i totally wasn't able to get up for the CHN-KOR match. but as expected, CHN beat KOR 3-0, with LD dropping yet another game for CHN. eager waiting for ENG vs. INA, which i think will be much more closely fought.
The solution is right under your nose. Before XXF's match, LD kisses her. Before LD's match, XXF kisses him. If they play simultaneously, toss a coin.
