dont think he:s that humble after the RAshid sidek resignation saga. LCW think he is bigger than BAM.
I was at the stadium from QF onwards. Didn't see any BC'ers but I bumped into Daniel and chatted a bit.
In retrospect I must admit that I am just amazed at your reading of the match. After the first set I thought that LCW will win the finals but certainly not in that devastating manner.
I read somewhere that he might not compete next year onwards.Yup, LCW needs his help to stop the CHN army. MAS's MS is weak.
With his 10th title, he should retire from MAS open from now on.

My observation of the MS final:
Tommy came out playing fearlessly. He was targetting Datuk's forehand and was very successfully till 19-18 as his smash down the line went wide. The scores tied up at 19-all and that's when he started to look nervous. Datuk felt it and wrapped up the next 2 points. In G2, Tommy still hasn't given up as he won the challenge and led by 4-2. Suddenly, Datuk upped the pace and won 14 straight points. Tommy's spirit was broken and...
saw back the MD final replay and the news reported.. it was the hong wei who provoke the MAS pair first.. since then lots of arrogant action from the MAS pair
It was iirc at 16-17 when Lee was behind and under severe attack, when he put on an incredible display of defence, dives, and amazing shot retrievals. When Sugiarto's lift went long, you could hear the crowd roar and Sugiarto looked so tired. That was the turning point in G1.

That's why he lost some respects from MAS fans.
danielwong is a great supporter of our local badminton, esp MAS Open.
unfortunately it is Hong Wei's attitude, he always roar and shout when winning a point one by one while his partner just stare at him doing nothing...

the crowd was cheering support for mas and hong wei lifted his hands up to egg on the crowd to cheer louder... within 5 secs mas won g1 and both lim and goh used the same hand actions to tell the crowd to cheer louder...
so yes, hong wei started it first...should have known better than to taunt the mas home crowd

[MENTION=1]kwun[/MENTION]i missed that. but if true. that's pretty cool. that means he is not only not afraid of the home crowd, but instead challenging them, or psychologically thinking that they may be cheering for him.
too bad his poor skill/performance doesn't match his hostile crowd resistance!
@kwun
Lol... Hong Wei probably still fantasizing of how the crowd was chanting his name in support of his massive smashes when they took down Koo/Tan in straight games just a few days ago.![]()
