Don't understand how the organizer arranges order of play for Misaki Matsutomo, she won MAS Open couple of days ago (Sunday), one day break (Monday) then she plays twice today (Tuesday), XD and later on WD, it's unfair.
As expected from LD, no commitment to make initiative to attack. I see, CHN MS seniors are having vacation now.
Lindan took the shuttle in hands as if prannoy's serve is short. But Prannoy challenged it and won the point.
Twice Chen Long gave Lin Dan the opportunity to overtake him for the AG spot, and LD is still not too motivated to give it a shot
At 35, Lin Dan doesn't have the explosiveness to compete at Top 10 Level. That absence of one-step leads to tons of bad judgment. Atleast a dozen of points were lost today due to bad judgment. He should be more than happy with a record breaking 10th All England Final, a New Zealand Open Title and The much coveted 6th Thomas Cup this year. I don't see him having the explosive movement or stamina required to remain in Top 10. I think Nanjing World Championship might be a good place to hang his boots forever and ever. It's just the matter of physical intensity not matching the skillset.
