He cracked wang chuqin with such precision and chuqin is real damn sharp. Awesome to see how Lin has conquered them all and doesn't make any noise about it at the end. Focus of the highest order.
I met a guy who went to elementary school with Lin Jun Yu - said he was a beast of a player as a kid as is now. Was super stoked when he did the impossible and won. Brings back T2 Diamond Malaysia memories 😂
I’m proud of him but I wish he was more stable, sometimes he does lose quite often when facing European or non Asia players like look at the scores when he played Franzsika he nearly lost, he would not have made it far if he lost to Fransizka it was close
Lin Yun-Ju is a very fine and elegant player. A pleasure to watch him. Franz, Harimoto, Wang and Ma is not the easiest way to win a tournament :-). Paris is waiting for Lin!
Are you not surprised that out of all 5 tough players he played, Fransizka was who he almost lost to, check out the scores, he would not have made this far if he lost to Frans
He's the most even keeled person I've ever seen in sports. He almost projects embarrassment for beating these great players. I charted his returns in his last tournament and 80 percent were flicks. He tells you want he's going to do and they still can't stop it. These are not scrubs, these are champions he's doing this against. He puts his blade into the position 100 percent and 20 percent he makes the adjustment for the backspin serves. He has to have a photo in China's training facility now.
By far the best journey that any seeded player can dream of. Beating every great player in the journey ..be it Harimoto, WC or ML.. but such a humble human being.Same (killing) smile even after beating world no 1 - WC, and same smile on beating World no 3 - ML in the final. I thought Truls Morgard, Lin Shedong, Lim Jongoon (pardon me if i misspelled their names), will be next rising stars.. but now after seeing LYJ, I have become a fan. Wish LYJ take 2-3 more titles..It is surely very hard repeating same feat at International level. Best luck LYJ. Watching your game was super fun.. You are very smooth in returns in forehand as well as backhand. You will surely rise rapidly in seeding..
If you check the scores, you’ll find that out of all the tough players he played, Franziska was the only player who almost beat him it was very close and Lin would not have made this far if he lost Franz
Fellow Dragon slayer Patrick (Franzi) Franziska was the closest to defeating the Silent Assassin, who then likewise went on to topple the GOAT and Dictator.
China also allow Truls to train with them didn’t they? There have been many other non Chinese players in the past that went to play super league too like Ryu and Ovtcharov
