Hehe, i'm also following the semi-live report by Sandy-thx Sandy for the report, still staying awake...I bet there must be people screaming in the back while you're typing this heh Sandy?!?!... Yah, i wasn't really surprised at the result...Along with the reasons I gave why Taufik will win against Lin Dan, I believe the match could go either way, but IMO the fact that Taufik is playing in his backyard was the difference, esp. with all his supporters is something else(maybe it could be different if the match was played in China)..The MS final should be interesting though, as this will be Chen Hong's 3rd consecutive final appearance in IO..Will 3rd time's the charm for him??Or will Taufik dominate and once again prove that he is still the 'man' in Indonesian Open??.. As a consolation, Lin Dan should meet with Taufik again in a couple of weeks for the Copenhagen Masters-if so, it should be another interesting match...Hope we can see the same type of exciting and fun match.... Anyhoo, future-term plan, I can't wait to meet and see both of them play *LIVE* in the World Championships next year in Los Angeles, should be one heck of a treat!!
