JOJ takes match 21-16...not like I didn't expect this. LD isn't at his best. I would say that this would be a very good chance for him to nab another SS title as both LCW and tago are not at their best judging from how they played just now.
It looks like Chen Long's fears were unfounded, although with the way he's been playing lately, he probably wouldn't stand much chance against Jan either.
After such a long break, twice at that, no matter how super he is, Lin Dan will still need at least 6-9 mths, if not a year, to be back at or near (95%) to his best.
Jan playing such aggressive power play. While I'm younger than you let's rev it to the redline all the ways shall we?
And unfortunate for LinD, he didn't have enough brake power today to stop the onslaught from JoJ. Credit for Jan for his mental attitude to play it cool, consistent, and positive throughout the match
I trust Lin Dan will take something positive out of this defeat. Had he pulled through again, he would most likely be continuing the same manner for quite sometime until he's defeated by someone. This loss should galvanize him to put in a little extra to quickly bring his game up to full speed. He will be ready for the Asian Games, I'm sure.
Really won't matter how Jan plays on Sunday, to be honest...with CL out and especially Lin Dan, Lee Chong Wei will be playing utterly unfettered, and I just don't see it happening for Jan although I'll be hoping against hope.
