this is where 21 pt system doesnt shine. A bad line call can cost u a point or a game in PG case even when ur serving. In the old system, a bad line call would set u back on a lost serve which one can or hope to recover and regain the serve back.
i watched that MO match lcw vs ld. the bad line call, imo, clearly influenced LD's lost. game 1: a bad line call, LD lost game 2, no bad line call, LD win 2nd set game 3., LD was way ahead of LCW point wist, then a bad line call and LD totally lost focus/interest and LCW came back took the decider. LD was totally dominates lcw before each bad line call.
Any bad calls could affect the bad mood & form of Players. That also could be the reason PG not in the game. And I agree that CJ play well than PG in 2nd game, no doubt.! I believe if PG in his form and against CJ which also in the form, I will pick PG is the winner. (of course at this moment, not sure later on. Coz PG is gettoing older. CJ still young)
i watched the match too guys and i was disappointed with the linejudge and CJ too,he should have told the umpire that it was in,if he did that,fellow athletes and fans may have give him credit. It was so clear that the shuttle went in,you can see it at CJ's reaction,but we cannot deny the fact that CJ was well conditioned at that match. For me,PG wins the game 1 but game 2 really went CJ's way. Anyway,it will be marked in him (CJ),if he don't do anything about that cheating matter. There should be a rematch for that tournament,China Masters 2006 on the other hand,lets call CJ the China Cheat Master Champion... )
