    Actually, it was more about Lee Hyo Jung and less about LYD ......

    LOL, in badminton the audience will only sit behind the players, and not on the "far" side (to the side of the players) shown in the wide-angled shots.

    INA in the WC and CHN in the Thomas/Uber Cup actually arranged it so that there are NO seats at the "far" side-- RIO probably not as experienced, or else they want to use the hall for other events....

    Not much worth watching-- not his best or Lin Dan's, unless you want to see them choking... of course, Lin Dan's only choked for a couple of points; while Srikanth basically choked every other point.

    The role of the rear court player is to make the front court player look good, and LHJ had many easy kills at the net from LYD's excellent play :D I consider Natsir to have one of the best defences and LYD broke down her defences easily that day.

    Don't cry, Tontowi, you did really well-- Chan Peng Soon choked 10 times more than you today!

    More than often whenever you play in a club in malaysia, and get pair up with woman player in a mix game, the woman will just assume a normal level double style game.

    You almost said the opposite of what everybody here is telling. Interesting.

    You mean the 2nd game, where they are just rallying to see who tricks the other or chokes first... playing hanta kaki is not the kind of badminton I like to watch-- didn't even bother to watch CL's match.
