2011 China Masters: Day 3 - Round 2 on Thursday 15-Sep

lol okay nevermind. Lin dan decided to wake up

 

LD back in focus towards and end and HH made all the errors. 21-18 for LD in the second.

 

Big jump smash finishes off HH 21-18.

LD switched gears and left HH's Proton in his wake.

 

LD 20-18, what a disappointment from Yoyo.

Alas, Yoyo lost the second game!

Can he make it count in the final? Unfortunately he is not known to have rubber game qualities as LD.

 

LD means business now. Super tight at the net and then the inside out jump smash. 2-0

 

From down 14-18, LD took 7 consecutive points and forced rubber games, 21-18.

 

LD blocks wide. 3-2

HH into the net 4-2

 

LD tried to take it early but his cross court attempt is into the net. 4-3

HH cross court slice is wide. 5-3

 

HH backhand wide 6-3

 

HH pushes wide 7-3

Careless from HH at the net. Muffs an easy one. 8-3

HH falling apart

 

That's how Yoyo got his name!

 

Wonder who's the bigger yoyo. Hafiz or Liew Daren?

 

HH pushes long again 9-3

What a weird rally. Both men seemed to have given up on a couple of shots yet the rally continued. Eventually off LD's frame as he threw his racket at the shot and back over to HH's side for the point

 

I'm speechless and rest my case :crying::crying::crying:

 

Yet another ridiculous miss from LD. He's right on top of the net with a jump smash yet still contrived to hit it out

 

HH over-angles his shot and it is wide. LD 16-7

 

like it or not, LD is going to win.

 

Lin dan leads 11-3 in 3rd game. Recalling Morten Frost's comment in recent WC, Lin Dan has record of winning 92%+ within last SIX YEARS whenever he reaches 11 first in that game!! What an excellent record!

 

A HH trick shot at the net finally pays off. 17-8

 

remember how LD played simon santoso in korean premier ss semifinal.
