Apparently, as the match progresses LHI is reading his young opponent's game better and better and anticipating well, including his favourite backhand shot.
As it turned out LHI is more well-paced and consistent with his shots. Mustofa simply can't do anything special and his fitness fails him as well. He lost 21-8. A well-won victory for veteran LHI.
The wily veteran,35-yr-old Lee Hyun Il, is proving he is still a force to be reckoned with, certainly more than a match for most of his opponents, except the top few.
i admire this man LHI he must play 1st tier tournament more often, stop giving those slot to another korean and give last shoot to the olympic
Oh wow and congratulations to Lee Hyun Il for winning the match today at such an old age. Wow he win the gold medals today. He played so well. He is too good to be true. His defence, attack and smashes are all very good. Excellent. And then as a summary for today performance, once again Korea top the list with 3 gold medals and 1 silver medal. What an amazing performance. Congratulations once again.
But then unfortunately he is always told by the BKA to give up his slot of play to other Korea MS. What a pity. In the recent WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP held in Jakarta, Lee Hyun Il didn't play as he is told to give up his spot to let Lee Dong Keun play. Unfortunately Lee Dong Keun lost in the second round. If it is Lee Hyun Il who is playing he would have won. So sad. Lee Hyun Il is still a better player.
On top of his consistency, LHI has added another weapon to his armory. He smashes more and though not very powerful, they are accurate most times and his cross-court smash seems as lethal as LCW's. But against his younger compatriots who know his game better, he may not stand a chance.
Unfortunately for Korea, BKA still could not really find a potential MS player other than Lee Hyun Il. Too bad and too for Korea. The rest of the Korea MS players are still below par compared to Lee Hyun Il. Yet at such an old age, Lee Hyun Il still proves that he can win.
is Lee Hyun Il the same shuttler who described Lin Dan as the Perfect shuttler from all aspects of the game?Wow,what an honest man
Yes, that's right. To me, LHI is arguably a great player but like the fate of many of his contemporaries, it's his misfortune to be born in the same era as Peter Gade, Taufik Hidayat, Lee CW and , most of all, Lin Dan, The GOAT, and now , Chen Long.
Why did you lie to your 'No worries' friend???His name is nowhere to be found in the draw.SWH is playing and LDK is playing qualifiers :crying:
Initially he is supposed to join the tournament. Maybe he has withdrawn before the due date. I read the news about BKA stating which player will in Denmark super series premier and Lee Hyun Il name is listed. Maybe he has withdrawn before the due date. I also just checked and realised it too. Sorry for the wrong information.
So can you tell me which Korea players will be participating in this Denmark super series premier open then I can confirm it with you whether it is right or wrong.
