I wonder when and where TH play against CJ before China Open 2006? According to BWF site, this is their first meeting.
I think people got mistaken that by Gong WeiJie in China open 2004.. I also thought he beaten him before.. but apparently it was Gong
For TH die hard fans, Taufil lost cause: 1. He is not fit. 2. He had small injury. 3. China Open is not prestigious event so he did notcare if he lost or win. 4. So TH will win in Asian Games. 5. 100000000000000000000000000000000 other lame excuses. The bottom line is CJ play better than TH today. And of course after LD beat him 3 times this year, LD had probably gave CJ all kind of tips of how to beat TH. And if TH didn't do something like train more seriously when there is no tournamnets, I boldly predict, the "WHY TH LOST" thread will be much more plenty in the future.
cctv5 didnt show badminton last nite and i didnt watch it. From my guess, WTL is because CJ is a better all around player, he beat TH the old fashion way...hard work. TH reliance on tight nets and deception are too well known to all MS players now, TH opponents have adapted and change. One also has to take into account CJ is still improving, while TH had already peaked. TH is now trying to recapture his old peak. This outcome point to many other things as else. One of that is, if this baby LD, i mean CJ , can beat TH, it goes to show HOW GOOD THE REAL LIN DAN really is. So LD beating TH at JO is no fluke. By 2008, CJ would as good as LD in his own way.
One other thing i notice that the new generaton players have that TH DOESN'T HAVE......diving skill. LD, CJ,BCL, LCW, CH, all have it but TH dive like a seal, flat on his stomach and can't get up. Yes, Th can retrieve side smashes if he is on his 2 feet but when he dive for the wider smashes, he dives like a seal. I saw the same dive of TH back in 2002?? playing XZX, no change.
why must u post I did not watched the match, so actually I was hoping to read some kind of review of the match in this thread by someone/somebody that watched it. I don't think there is anything wrong with it. But sad indeed, I would have to agree if anyone who already bored or don't have anything better to post why bother, I really don't understand. Its like someone who doesnt like a food, but keep eating that food and keep complaining about it, although that person can always eat something else. Sorry if I hurt anyone fellings .. Please someone just give the review of the match ...
Disagree. I'm pretty sure I could not return many of Taufik's smashes. But some more training with Mona, who knows?
..hmm, IMO, i think his "spirit" was still there and he "tried to fight"/compete, but like a saying goes : "The mind is willing, but the body is weak"...which points to??....I think that's simply what he was up against..
Hehe, as *predicted* & expected.... ..this is a good one....and i clicked on that site too...haha ...
Oh my god .. another boring thread .. T_T Please Please stop it ! he lost because it happens to everybody ! Losing a match is just NORMAL !
hehe, it's just an "acronym"/abbreviation and there should be a question mark @ the end...and you can look up on the thread's topic heading(should give you some clues)...
Where is Indra again? I like to hear his lame excuses for why Taufik Hidayat lost! He went into hiding last time when Taufik lost in the World Championships to Chen Hong. Taufik cannot go on and face reality without lame excuses from fans like you.
He is no "baby LD" LOL! And wat u sayin about Lin is abit exaggerating. CJ is definitely capable of beating ANYONE already including LD, but of course if thats allow by the LYB. He is a more all rounded player than LD is when he is still the same age as CJ is now.
