Good Luck Beijing 2007 International Badminton Invitational Tournament: Lin Dan Couple Won

What is Lin Dan couple? Lin Dan and Xie Xingfang. As we all knew in Badminton Men's Singles No.1: Lin Dan，Xie Xingfang is Lin Dan’s girlfriend.

The Good Luck Beijing, I think, could be changed to “Good Luck Lin Dan”. Do you think so? He defeated Bao Chunlai in straight games again to claim that no one in the Chinese team has the power to challenge his position. What’s more, he wised to win a title on the day of his birthday and finally made it.

Someone questioned whether Bao gave a walkover to Lin Dan as a birthday gift, but Bao replied with serious “No”. Bao frankly said that he tried his best and did not show any disrespect to Lin Dan with the hard battle. But God comes to the latter. Actually, in my eyes, Bao has been challenging Lin Dan since the day he joined national team. Nobody wants to be second forever. I have to say it’s unfortunate for any badminton player born in the same period as Lin Dan, Gade included. Lin Dan broke many other players’ champion dreams.

Bao forced to present the gift to Lin Dan, but Xie added more pleasure to celebrate his boyfriend’s birthday with her women’s singles title to win reigning world champion Zhu Lin 21-12, 21-12.

In the mixed doubles Xie Zhongbo-Zhang Yawen are in so outstanding form that they beat world No.1 pair Zheng Bo-Gao Ling. But it is not a surprise to me. Xie/Zhang are able to beat any pair in the world. I have watched the game in which Xie/Zhang defeated the former Olympic champion Zhang Jun-Gao Ling in 2006 China Master.

Chinese 3 pairs of women’s doubles dominate in the world. Any one of the 3 is possible to score the title. The results are Wei Yili-Zhang Yawen champion with silver and bronze medals going to Zhao Tingting-Huang Sui and Yang Wei-Zhang Jiewen respectively.

Cai Yun-Fu Haifeng struggle to beat Guo Zhendong-Xie Zhongbo 14-21, 21-15, 21-18. It is good that more pairs grow up to threaten the former for men’s doubles is the weak point of China. There is a lot more to learn from Indonesia.
