Sure, the line judges made sure of that. On the other hand, it's a good thing Lin Dan lost, hopefully he will realise that he's not world No.1 and must work much harder to get there. NP
I didn't see them shake hands either. By the way, a question about LCW - is he well-known for his trademark-like forehand diagonal smash, or is it something he developed recently? I kind of feel that he's not as good as LD in overall, but he has this ONE killer that, together with a cheering crowd and slightly partial line judges, won him the match...
i have nothing against LCW, and nothing going for Lin Dan... but i'm afraid that the some calls influenced the outcome of the match. sans questionable calls, it would have still been a great match, and still hard to predict who'd win.
I dont reckon its fair to blame line judges/home support etc etc for a player losing... Maybe we should be like Taufik, and accept defeat Gracefully, and not be a sore loser, "Taufik, who was affected by a stomach muscle pull during his game against Chong Wei, was disappointed but he did not show it. “I do not want to give any excuses ... I lost,” said the soft-spoken player. " source : The Star
post more later, time for dinner now.. last pic, lee cw with the malaysian deputy prime minister, nazib... cheers all....
and another thing, we have all known about LCW's diagonal cross court smashes, as shown in use in last years singapore open. But watching the final, is it just me or he has developed alot of these cross court net shots, and more trick shots etc etc... very exciting play in general
Back to Singapore Badminton...Badminton never get prominent attention in Singapore Media..Look at the ST,Zao Bao or THE WORST- The New Paper ....Only recent year when we import Indon and China player like Susilo and Lili that a very little publicity .See the Support done by Malaysia Govt..see DPM of Malaysia also come and watch the Malaysian Player.
this is y i like him too. he always keeps low profile even though he won the game. oh! gade also，he will usually say "you win and you lose sometimes".
yes but he is world No.1 =p and one of his relatives told me that he already work really really hard ... i think yeah he gave a proof that he deserved this world number 1 place
This is an unfair comment, sure there were a few bad line calls, but that is not enough to win against a player like Lin Dan. Lee deserves this win, and it solidifies the fact that Lee CW is among the elite.
yea but Taufik lost 15-3, 15-0, the gravity of the loss is little different...he got really ass whooped there, of course hes got nothing to say. LCW and LD were having a pretty close fight, Id be pissed if I were LD too damn how do you quote
