Do anyone know if Chen Hong has withdrawn from Korea Open?? I noted he was still on the draw against Hafiz... But maybe his serious back injury was only very serious against Bao ?!?!? Will LYB risk CHs back by letting him play Hafiz??? /Twobeer
LOL...Good one twobeer If CH plays and end up doing well then we all know what really happened at 2007 Malaysian Open with him and LYB. But then again, it may be that CHEN Hong is like Wolverine and has made 100% recovering... Yeah, right...
This really says a lot about sports professionalism. LYB might have "groomed" a very good Chinese badminton team but this team definitely do not evoke much respect from fellow players and fans (exceot China fans) alike.
It's what we would call a 'conditioned reflex'. Every time CH has to play a CHN MS in the QF or SF, some injury would flare up, triggering a walkover impulse.Except that CH is the generous one; no CHN MS has ever given him a walkover in return.
It's so sad, because I feel Chen Hong has to be one of the most entertaining players to watch play :crying: :crying: I just love his netkills... /T
If this stupid "LYB-rithis" is true , I wish CH will start playing for Taiwan instead. At his current level of play, he can easily crush any other players including LD, PG and BCL. I was so looking forward to watching him win the MAS Open for the second time. If his injury is true, I hope he can recover soon and keep on playing. Love CH style of play.
Dont be too greedy, DinkALot. You guys already have enough ex-Pro players. Time for some to come Downunder. Without LYB factor, I will always put my bet on CH to beat any of the China players anytime.
its not easy playing for tw, his wife retired and came to mainland he said he would go back to his hometown first..
its not only hard, its IMPOSSIBLE... heh, if CH does play and win, people won't say good thing like PG's performance from headache, but as a prove of LYB's team order's existence... just for the kick
I dont hear anyone complaining about PG's withdrawl against CY. Oh sorry i forgot, its only counted as a fake injury if it's against your own team. Dear dear what has the world come to.
Of course not! Why would we complain when he came to Malaysia with a migraine attack but he put himself out there to play his best even through 3 hard-fought sets against his compatriot and beating BAO in 3 sets to grab the title? The guy deserve a break and rest up for the next tournament. What you don't understand is walkovers with Chinese men's singles is common, almost too common. Granted that they do have quite a few extraordinary players but it seems that they don't put in the effort to fight against one another knowing in the next round they are faced with a player from different country. And it does make one wonder when a player claims that he is injured to let his younger compatriot walkover and then participate in another tournaments two days later, doesn't it?
Can't you see the difference in a WO in the Semis in a match against a younger "team"-mate, to a WO in the first round against a strong oppontent? I can't see how any of the Danes would benefit form Peter Giving WO to Chen Yu in the first round.. /T P.S. Its rather the opposite actually.. PG could maybe play one game and win against Chen Yu, then if Kasper Oedum would beat Kay Bin YEOH, he could have left WO to get rest and let Kasper trough to the next round... But this is not the way of a team with sportsmanship and personal pride D.S.
Actually Peter tried to recover and had an overworked muscle. Normally a body would recover better but if having a disease and still pushing your body to the limit everyday it will hurt afterwhile . tried it myself and got a serious injury out of it since i didnt allow myself any breaks in my training/competitions
