That is my wish, but I know full well that it may just be a wish... If Peter Gade is as young as Lin Dan, just may be it is more realistic. Unfortunately, Lin Dan is superior in terms of power, fitness, speed, and pretty much all physical attributes. Unless Peter Gade can figure out an effective strategy for tomorrow, otherwise his chance of winning is slim. But anyways, the usual... Let's go Gade, Let's go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I put my trust on LCW, as Chen Jin form had drop in form alots compare to last year when he was introduced in China team. LCW is now back to his top again...
Beating Hafiz and Ronald... and that proved he is back to top form... you have got to be kidding. LCW has been famous for being Mr. Quarter finalist for most part of this year... and be prepared to see him live up to that status again tomorrow. If by chance, he could get pass Chen Jin, then just maybe you can claim him being back to his top form.
I think Lin Dan had it tough today with Roslin - he had to pull out his reserve. Gade is getting better and that is the premise of my call.
Law of Physics - nothing stays in its stable form. Hence, fueled by some deep encouragement from the top who has heard him out (about his complaints of Yap Kim Hock), he is ready to please.
The only thing that can not be doubted about Lin Dan is his fitness... and unless it is very far into the tournament, or else it is quite difficult to be sure that there isn't enough in the tank for Lin Dan in the next day's competition. In case, you didn't know.. I am a big fan of Peter Gade, but I much rather be realistic about his chance, than making a claim that he will win tomorrow.
But are you saying that my reason is not a reason then??? Open your mind to other possibilities... you will learn a lot more...
hmn... u must be not aware...He is back to his top again after winning Indonesia Open,Philippines Open, Won all matches during Sudirman cup. Beating LD.. Jonasson, Bonsak. In China Open, beat Taufik.. He just fail in WC to Sony... That is why i said he is back..Wake up..wake up.. I am not judging base on your mentioned won on two matches on Japan open... Where is Chen Jin on the above mentioned tournament?
