    The chance is getting slim now :( , I hope WCH can steal the 2nd set.

    BCL take first game. 21-18

    BCL played with a lot of patience today. seldom making silly mistake and seldom unforced errors.

    WCH on the other hand, is slightly pressured from the quality shots from BCL and just losing that slight edge.

    we are unlikely to see WCH giving up though, he will fight till the end but if BCL keeps his speed and form, WCH will be on a steep unhill battle.

    if it's foregone why bother watching? be negative when they lose but till then at least stop being a spoilsport predicting a loss.

    No sign of BCL crumbling under pressure.

    ouuggh...WCH lost in 1st set... Quite difficult now if WCH must play in three sets. Well, if WCH lost, I think CHN will go to final. INA or KOR must have special strategy to beat CHN.

    WCH's smashes are quite predictable. He needs to mix it up.

    Unlikely as his stamina is not as solid as Bao, also I worry Choon Hann get injure again if he push to the limit, he is giving his best is all we can ask.

    If WCH lose, that's it for Malaysia. The possibility of Hafiz beating Chen Jin is almost zero.

    WCH has the height. His smash can be sharp.

    I agree. I believe they will figure out the strategy in twenty years.
