I personally think that it's not too reliable to measure Tommy based on this match vs Lin Dan. Lin Dan mostly didn't set a high standard against low level player. He will play more relax, and not showing his true quality. He will only setup high level when facing LCW, TH, PG. Different case is LCW. LCW will be ruthless against anyone. So, you can benchmark your level after playing LCW but not after fighting Lin Dan. IMO.
LD's upping the tempo and getting into his attacking play. All of TS's 5 points as of now are from LD's unforced errors.

wow, I'm not the only one losing categories on first day - Jenny and Nath - what a shame! Don't think that the Brits should count only on them - Robert and Gaby seem to be the better choice these days.
Yea great stuff from them, i think this will be the next pair to look out for.. I feel that have the tenacity. It was sad that they did not win the Malaysian open but revenge is sweet...
Gee LinDan is well and playing a~hmm a~gain Damn this year's Oscar's the best male actor award should go to LD as well (applause by LD's fans)
Mads Conrads-Petersen/Jonas Rasmussen (DEN) beat Biao Chai/Zhendong Guo (CHN): 21-14 21-17 Impressive win and sweet revenge
