Malaysia Open Grand Final

Credit should also go to his first coach.The unsung hero who mould lcw to be a world class player now.maxwellian said:I think the credit for Lee CW's improvement has to be himself, then Li Mao for his coaching. But some credit must go to Misbun cos even before Li Mao took over, Lee has already starting to show his immense potential. His footwork, net and deceptive plays and even, his smashes are starting to develop into lethal weapons. He was finalist at last year's S'pore Open, then under Misbun's coaching.
I believed Li Mao sharpened the edges around those weapons and most significantly has worked to improve Lee's fitness (though still not up to the level of Lin Dan, I guessed).
Slipping vs. Plain Diving
Umpires should make a point to distinguish between the genuine case of players slipping due to the wet floor as apposed to just plain diving before calling for the use of the mop. I can't help noticing occasions when players tend to make a meal out of their falls by insisting on the use of the mop even though the element of slipping was in doubt.... clearly they had to dive to retrieve the shuttle.
Aren't those unecessary moppings then serve as masks to assuage their deflated egos?

surely some sweat droplets would have landed on the floor after a dive, and so to prevent potential slipping, a mop-up would be ideal?
