    Lin Dan failed to convert his twi gamepoints and only won the deuces thanks to Son WH's unforced errors.

    Son WH is a supreme athlete,I don't understand why he's not forcing the issue by injecting more pace like what Jonatan did yesterday as Lin Dan seemed a bit sluggish and not willing to run all over the court to retrieve everything.

    Will Lin Dan take G2, if not, I still don't see him winning the match in three sets

    I can see that SWH is really nervous in the deuce. Plenty of mistakes.

    Frankly this is extremely frustrating.

    How is Lin Dan vs Son Wan Ho not worth a TV match slot!!!!!??????

    Beyond belief!

    Lin Dan still has thunder smash, occasionally put on display. Son may show his bull feat in G2

    Son WH must make Lin Dan work hard if he's to win the match

    Both MS can be on TV.

    Even right now, Both WS are on TV.

    And I can say definitely that either of MS is more in demand than WS

    Bull ****.

    It is all due to sponsor stuff.

    Notice how all Chinese matches are on non-TV court?

    I am not saying that sponsors shouldn't have a say. But they should not be the only one. Popular demand must be kept in mind.

    I can say with certainty, that this Lin Dan vs SWH match will easily be among the most popular matches of today. Easily beating all WS matches on TV.

    Quite possible too. Victor is the main sponsor and maybe they want more of their brand ambassador.

    No one in their right mind would choose WS over MS in this case LD match, I dare say.

    Badminton still lacks of good coverage, either TV broadcast (still relying on premium channels) or high quality live stream. Why BWF can not act like ITTF or FIVB managing own HQ live stream worldwide?? Still wonder about its popularity or lack of it? :D

    SWH close to win the second set but not comfortable enough.
