Lee Chong Wei, just not lucky

I wish Lee Chong Wei had been born in a different time. He would probably have been world champion, Olympic champion, Asian Games gold medallist…because the Malaysian shuttler is just an amazing player. So clever, so talented. He has reached new heights lately with an improved game. If it hadn’t been for injuries that keep bothering him, and maybe a lack of confidence in some occasions, he would be the best in the world. But there is only one problem: he was born in the same generation as Lin Dan…probably the best shuttler of all time. There’s not much Lee can do about it, because Lin Dan is just a player out of this world and it’s just unlucky for Chong Wei that he has to be touring the circuit at the same time as this young left-handed conqueror, who has the capacity more than any other player to rise to the occasion and just be unbeatable when it matters. I wouldn’t say that Chong Wei still needs to prove he’s the best in the world. He is. He’s shown it by giving a lesson of mental strength to Chen Jin – the reigning World champion – in the semis. Chong Wei is the best shuttler and deserves his world number one spot, as nobody knows whether Lin Dan could cope with the same type of a crazy schedule. But Lin Dan is better. I know it doesn’t make much sense, but that’s how I see it. There is Lin Dan, and there is the rest of the Planet Badminton. Let them share titles. I hope Chong Wei will get one of the major ones. He deserves it, truly.

what a nice article. and its so true.
