But he has to beat his rivals more consistently to maintain a clear psychological advantage, dent their confidence and sap their inner belief, as what Lin Dan does to all his opponents.
I just saw the young athlete from Hong Kong who won the mixed event in nanjing Olympics. Good to see her.
I'm so disappointed. His will-to-win is not strong enough. He really needs a smart, thinking coach like Sun Jun to guide and train him until he's able to read his opponent's game capably by himself.
how about the coach giving him an ultimatum... you lose the WC and we will forbid you seeing your girl friend...
if CL failed to win even 1 match in Dubai, how many points he can get ? 6,050 points ? if yes, then he only needs to participate to become the world #1
WSX is the more outgoing, independent-minded, assertive character, and smarter too on court, except for the lack of a decent smash. Chen Long should learn from his girlfriend how to play smart and think ahead, and in return teach her how to smash hard with good timing. I supposed, opposites attract.
I don't understand SSF only for 8 players / pairs how come Ahmad / Natsir whom lost all their matches in group B only get 4,320 points which is similar for top 16 in SSP category ? http://bwfcontent.tournamentsoftware.com/ranking/tournament.aspx?id=7918&tournament=32615
@ opruh : yes, assuming LCW not participate in Dubai, CL only need to finish 3rd in group for world #1 status
Nah! They are both largely the same personality, yes WSX is slightly smarter and Chen long is capable of smashing, but, both are soft, gentle personalities, without that killer instinct of players like lin dan or Li xuerui. Rather on court both are almost always scrambling, with none liking to take initiative.
SOn won ho won the match?. Just now came back to home and saw the result ... interesting... He won in straight games..... convincing scorelines. Military return veteran made it once again.. later, have to watch the recorded match ... congrats to him...
