hope its taufik but it will probably be lin dan...imagine if bao chunlai goes through, taufik will be the only non-chinese player left...
Well! Official record of head to head is 2-1 to Lindan. But we all including Kwun appreciated unofficially but more realistically as 1-1 neglecting the early game. Taufik had very tough game today while Lindan walked through under blue moon. I wish and support Taufik from the sport point of view. I like & admire Lindan alot, but I certainly do not want to see the all Chinese affair in the final. We had a couple of reputed grand prix finals (AE and Japan open) with disappointment.
But Taufik or LEE(I think he can beat bao) must prove they have enough level to beat LIN AND CHEN. Chen beat Kenneth, only leave 15 points to him,who else can make it? I think CHEN HONG will be the final winner!
everyone can make it... Yonex Open Japan 2005 trashed by LinDan 15-4, 2-0 DJARUM Indonesian Open 2004 Lost to Taufik 15-10, 15-11 Aviva Singapore 2004 beaten by Hafiz 15-13, 15-3 ...leaving only 14points (don't forget he was No.1 in 2004 b4 LinDan take over him) China Open again trashed by LinDan 15-8, 15-6 Olympic 2004 kicked out by 20th seed.....etc everything can happen. it may be the weather, environment and so on that affect ur play.
Though of enjoying the game from TV staying at home. Now I dont have a chance to see one of the most exicting games. Hi Storkbill! Please get the photos as much as you can, if you are in stadium. I am sure many people will be delight to see with photos particularly for those could not see the action in "live".
What I know is Kenneth is the MS tittle owner of Singapore 2004?Who beat who? I think Kenneth is good form now.So if someone can beat him easliy, I think it is not a simple thing.
what i know is, chen hong was once world no.1. defeated by a former world no.1 is a common case, but the result i show u was a defeat he(chen hong) had with a non-world no.1. if u say kenneth is in good form, i wouldn't say yes. the danes r not used to the kind of SEA weather and if he is in top form, he wouldn't have lost to LCW in the malaysian friendly match last week. the answer is clear. in addition, what i was trying to tell u is that everything can happen, including "the leaving xx points for him". everyone can make it.
Taufik problem is that he is a late starter and Lin Dan has much better stamina. Also his 2 previous clash won't help his form. If he wants to win against Lin tomorrow he has to fire-up earlier and be more consistant. I think Taufik is the only one for the moment who can spoil LD chance of gold in WC. I have to say I really really really want Taufik to win but I doubt he will as Lin Dan seems to be on a perfect form. I think both players wants to prove their superiority and prove who's the real King before WC Exciting!!!!
oh, well taufik might just give a w.o. to lin dan, with the reason, he had a serious blister while playing with peter gade.... it happened b4 rite?!
lindan and taufik. Anticipated this match. A new rival in the making. Guys, why not put a signature like where and when you play? tks. Chong Pang CC Tuesday 7.30pm.
Urghh....., channel 5 is not telecasting, damn...., must try to be there. I hope Taufik will win, but think it will be tough due to the exhaustion from the hard fought win over Peter Gade. Let's keep my finger cross. And Chandra and Sigit hopefully will win too.
Go Taufik Go Sigit/Candra!!! Anyone got any news about Taufik or Lin comment about their encounter tomorrow?
