Getting more ranking points for juniors? Giving them more opportunities to test the Masters? Investing in the future? Definitely not to win.
Looks like both past their prime. But occasionally can sparkle depending on the draw and the opponents.
looking forward for lcw vs wang zhengming today ! watched the junior played last week during malaysia open in his match against lin dan. he played really good with the playing style quite similar to lin dan. i hope lcw wont take him lightly... *worried*
Making use of LCW. Either by LD giving a walkover or hit the shuttle at his abdominal (injury) so that he retires.

Hmm... that seems to be missing a lot of tournaments. Taufik better have had a reeeeeally good sleep last night if he's to stand a chance today.

I think Lin Dan will concede a walkover to Taufik HIdayat today. Looks the most likely scenario.... LOL. He wants to set a new record. 4 WOs in 4 back-to-back tournaments.
LOL...maybe LD wants to make a fastest recovery of back injury record, this week injury cant play, next week racovered and won a SS Premier title ! LOL
