Unfortunately, the bad line calls undermine the entire game and also one's assessment of the players' performances. When one player is leading and loses his focus owing to bad line calls, the opponent's 'performance' from that point onwards does not reflect his real form. A player's form and performance in a match is relative to his/her opponent's performance. If his/her opponent does not lose focus and can execute smart game plan with good attacking and defending skills, the player's performance may not be as great. The fact that BCL started to pick up successive points after several bad line calls that affected LCW's concentration is not only unfair to LCW. It is also unfair to BCL, because it makes it impossible for one to judge the true performance and form of BCL. We cannot say that he was in smashing form or was performing superbly when LCW's loss of concentration does not allow the latter to perform well. Had LCW's performed well, BCL might or might not perform as well as what he did. So the fact that LCW has been prevented from performing his best in such an unfair manner makes any assessment of BCL's performance unjustified.
BCL plays well, he could win the game without those bad calls. I feel bad for him. He knows that he win the game "EASILY" because of not only one bad calls but 6 doubtable bad calls....12 point spread... SAD SAD SAD I really really feel sad for LCW. He certainly not underdog in this game even though he has yet to show his top form.
ya ya.. she 'kills' one by one per day.. 1st is world no. 3, zhu lin then, world no. 2, zhang ning finally is world no. 1, xie xingfang
It's really not a "fact", but it's a theory from Brave_turtle The fact is we don't know, as we cannot undo the line-calls and net-calls and change history.. It is also a fact, that apart from getting -3 or -4 points (also means +3 +4 points to the other player). if the player feels he get unfair treatment, it will also affect his motivation and get him to loose focus on the game.. /Twobeer

During the semis, but then the Thais were leading far ahead, 20:16 i think. They only need to convert 1 point to win, and they did. But they did protest too. That is one blunder, so obvious, stupid umpiring. Shameful! It'll be remember for a long long time.
All 6 line judges, a service judge and an umpire are Chinese and you are in final playing against a Chinese player, this is what you would expect. You either play 200% better, or get over it very fast (like WMC did) and stick to your game plan or walkover. BCL didn't at fault, this is something he wants for so long. LCW should control his emotion, but I do agree it is a bit too much. Pitty him.
I have totally agreed with you. Players can't play a good game under that psychological distraction. Don't try to bull **** that one can control the emotion and continue on the game like normal.
im not watching.. lost interest in the whole tournament.. much prefer to read on comments bout the match here..hehe
Guys...Please sign the petition online now to protest all the action done by china team especially walkover.
I agree, and for that we should not discount the fact of BCL's performance. Whatever he benefited from did not originate from him. I wish him well and hope he steps out of LD's shadow.
if she does this in championship or olympics, then her winning is not questionable, and is not just lucky.
BWF must review the complaints, walkovers, bad line calls and bad judge calls and take action --- it is absolutely woeful. Totally reflects badly on China.
