u guys are beyond funny, more like chee seen silly. LD has won all the key titles already. On china Masters/Open, he won it in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2007. LD does not need to prove himself in this regard anymore. Rather, he will let BCL, chen jin, chen yu AND 9 other chinese MS players a chance of glory. For the lcw fans, u should pray that silver medalist lcw doesn't get beaten by one of these 12 chinese MS players. Regarding pjswift's theory that LD's devious plan of not playing japan open so that he can conserve energy to beat LCW, LOL. Theory busted. Too much rest actually slowed him down.
LCW and LD stayed on top as the best 2 players in the Badminton World . Agree ... Too much rest will slow a player down. Since LCW and LD stayed on top as the best 2 players in the Badminton World for the past 2-3 years, we are looking forward for their next match ASAP. .
I don't see XXF being able to play again since ZN has retired.ZN has all along played escort to XXF like CJ,BCL, CY and CH for LD.If XXF continues to play, who's gonna prop her up? LL, ZL,etc?These CHN WS can't even take care of themselves. It's a pity that LD plans to take such a long rest but he deserves to,after playing the match of his life.(And I'm glad because he can now sleep well because he does not need to prove anything anymore, not even AG) Yes, he needed to get into 6th gear(OG08) to demolish LCW who will just need to get into 5th gear to do the same (TC08)It's great that LCW has been instrumental in gearing LD up to his highest level.Let's hope LD shows even more greatness in NOV in front of his home crowd.
“I still think about the defeat by Lin Dan. He was so fast that I could not play my normal game,” he added. “It hurts just thinking about the match. I even felt numb during the medal ceremony.” If the words "hurt just thinking about" and "felt numb" doesn't imply the feeling of LCW is "afraid" of LD(unless you expect a pro to say directly " I am afraid of LD"), while you people believe that "skipping 4-5 tournaments" mena Lin Dan is afraid of LCW... then all I have got to say to is "WELCOME TO A LIFE OF DENIAL"
Well said, George. As usual, LCW is refreshingly (or foolishly) candid.It just meant he underestimated LD and paid a high price for it.The good thing for LCW fans is LCW will most probably play on till 2012.
hahahaha, ya, AG is such an important title, LOL BTW, what did lcw earned in 06 AG??? TC is about team achievement, they dont give out award to individual events LOL. U keep forgeting that china had beaten MAL in 08TC.
The last time we checked, no one has yet complained on accessibility issues related to the forum's standard font-sizes. reiko80, please post in a less numbing font size. Your posts, we assure you, will still be readable
No matter how big the words are, and even if people may be able to read the words, but unfortunately most people won't be able to understand the illogical non-sense from the post itself.
I believe that Datok Lee will revenge his defeat against Lin Dan. Malaysian, we stand behind our Datok. I hope that he will prove that he is the best. Malaysia Boleh!
China Open（Shanghai）will be LD's first international match after Olympic Games，I think.(according to news)
it's still more convincing then big font, LOL what did lcw get for beating LD at 08 TC??? Below hardwares were what LD (and team) got for losing to lcw, LOL. Is that convincing enough for u?
We hope that LD will allow LCW to play a 'Return Match' ASAP . reiko80, Our Oldhand is correct. We don't have to yell so LOUD to put our point across. See how Noridayu, one of LCW's strongest supporters, does it... just providing a firm and strong support. I too believe that LCW can revenge his defeat against LD, the match played at OG2008. It's not as though LCW has never beaten LD before. In fact, if my memory is correct, LCW has beaten LD at least 3 times before. We hope that LD will allow LCW to play a Return Match ASAP. And we hope that LI De Quan is correct; that their Return Match would be at the 2008 China Open in Shanghai, November 18-23. .
That's a funny way of looking at things :S! Wait hold on I'm not even sure what I'm being convinced of exactly so... never mind!
Lee Chong Wei to skip 2008 China Masters . After the Semi-Finals at the 2008 Japan Open on Saturday 20-Sep-2008, LCW said he has an injury on his right hand. And the comment was made to The Star. The latest news released from The Star today, 21-Sep-2008: click here ====== * ====== start article ====== * ====== The Star Online Sunday 21-Sep-2008 Lee Chong Wei to skip 2008 China Masters KUALA LUMPUR: National coach Misbun Sidek has given shuttler Lee Chong Wei the green light to skip next week’s China Masters in Guangzhou. World No. 1 Chong Wei confirmed this after reaching the final of the Japan Open in Tokyo yesterday following a 21-6, 21-4 demolition of Dane Joachim Persson in the semi-final. Chong Wei said he was skipping the eighth-leg of the Super Series in China because of a slight pain on his right hand. The Malaysian had been seeded top ahead of Lin Dan of China for the tournament. “It is nothing serious. It is probably due to heavy smashing. I need a rest. The coach also does not want me to aggravate any injuries,” said Chong Wei in a telephone interview yesterday. “I will return home after the Japan Open. I have also been entered for the Macau Open (after the China Masters) but I am not sure if I will play. I will let my coach decide.” ====== * ====== end article ====== * ====== So ... Who's waiting for who now? And will there be more withdrawals to come for this 2008 China Masters, I wonder? .
2008 China Masters: A new draw should be released soon . We are now looking forward to see a new draw. If anyone finds out about the new draw, please inform us. Sandy and our PAW players should also be very interested in it. .
