ants said:Taufik have have an upperhand if he take the 1st game. However Lindan is known for his Game 3 comeback. This is going to be a tough one. But personally Lindan want to win this MO more than anyone else. Believe me. He wanted to have a Malaysia Open title under his belt badly.
Is the MO that prestigious?
TH is delighted to meet LD in the first round because that's when he's got the most stamina. When he said,'I will enjoy my match with LD' ,it signals his confidence and that he will be even fresh enough to take LD out in 3 games.He indicated 'no target' but chances are his target is to humble LD further.
TH will aim to do well because he wants to be among the top 8 for the year-end bigger money Masters.
