This duel is between Lin Dan (CHN) and Taufik Hidayat (INA). But seriuosly, Lin Dan is just too great for Taufik. But Taufik did played good game as well.

Before I left the stadium, Im able to capture this photo.... Its great, like a gathering here, I been knowing Kuan Ming, Teng Joon and Choe Khuen since very small little kid. Happy to see you all here today ...

Overall, I like today's match as well as the atmosphere here. Its much more better to watch on the idiot box, quite old nickname for television. In the nutshell, I would come again if Malaysia will be the host again.
