Tournament referee/organisers/coaches/players should explain it to the audience . If so, then the tournament referee/organisers/coaches/players should explain this to the audience at the venue. .
or the other way round lyb is scared chen jin lost to lcw again then lin dan got beaten by lcw but wait chen long has to get through taufik first. maybe lyb wants a no china players final this time.lol
If it's a MAJOR tournament, will he consider walkover to his opponent as well? btw, i wanna know what happened to chen jin as well?
Well, it is possible that they are sick. There's cases that the players get sick on the finals day. It's better that they withdrew now then with until finals right, or whould you rather watch them walk around the court and not even trying for the shots? It'll be nice to see LCW and TH in finals, but would like to TMN vs CL, as both men was able to pulled the upset before.
Too bad you guys won't be able to watch HK Cable! Few days ago. I believe that was the first day of HKO. Cable TV has an interview with Lin. The reporter asked him his purpose of coming to HKO this time? Do u know what the answer was? It was "SHOPPING"!
But w/o with indonesian pair as well is different. And all the players who already lost will not report their illness........
You both are wrong, I think the real reasons are LD is generous and LD feels bad in smacking LCW 2X in majors and LYB is getting kickback/commission so he issue team order to CJ/LD to WO so LCW is rested and order Dragon Long Long to wear out a fit TH to win HKO SS.
Hey, LD at least tells truth and the truth prevails Heck, if I have his dough, I go shopping too in HK, besides badminton is too tough and the amount of work to win HKO is not even worth it and ahhhh, the food too, yummmm...HK is great for both
He better had finished his shopping already. If he get caught shopping after he withdrew, he will look bad.
i think these strings of walkover/upsets are prob due to the fact the higher seeds have accumulated enough points for a semi-acceptable standing for the year end SS final(in taipei upcoming in jan). they are sufficiently satisfied and do not feel like overtaxing their physicals. i suspect that the high $$$ purse for the SS final is the culprit.
I don't think Chen Jin and Lin Dan both qualify for the SS Final. In fact, both Du Pengyu and Chen Long are higher ranked than them in terms of qualification for the tourney. I believe that Chen Jin was truly injured as seen in his match vs P. Kashyap when the Indian managed to catch up despite trailing so many pts! As for Lin Dan.....
Another theory is both Lin Dan and Chen Jin knew China is not going to attend the Super Series Final hence no more incentive to continue the play? Very likely scenario and hope I am wrong.
