2013 Wang Lao Ji BWF World Championships - Day 4 (Thursday, 8th August 2013)

Deuce, oh dear

 

Good smash by CWF. It's a duece now.

 

LD takes the first set : 22 - 20

 

i see vivian playing next court... pretty!!!

 

2 straight points for LD. 22 - 20.

 

A very different Lin Dan, indeed, a steady,mature,rallying type of player now, it seems.

 

Down the line smash by CWF. 20-20

 

It's all or nothing for Wei Feng, he will start G2 all guns blazing , I'm sure.

 

Great net deception by LD to wrap up G1 22-20. CWF had his chances. He'll be kicking himself. Might not have a better opportunity to take a game off LD

 

good performance by CWF nonetheless

 

Yeah, kinda miss the aggressive super dan.

 

CWF is losing out quickly on this second game. 3 - 9 behind now.

 

Accuracy still suspect for Lin Dan.

 

The best thing CWF can do right now is to keep LD on the court as long as possible and hope for the best. LD 11-5

 

Looks like CWF is not used to Lin Dan's manoeuvring style of play.

 

It looks like LD still a couple of gears to spare. Looking very casual

 

Hm. Maybe i've been out of the loop but that "from the back perspective" camera angle was pretty awesome. Shows how steep those Lin Dan half-smashes are.

 

A sign of frustration from CWF

 

During the towel down, LD has time to adjust his hair

 

LD will take this match for sure. 14 - 7.

He's more like Taufik and LCW now. Depending on rally and deceptive play.

It's all about playing with style, you know, haha
