Epic battle.

And in the end I felt sorry for Chong Wei who really played to the best of his ability. I had never seen him so composed like in the first set. That both wanted to win was so greatly obvious. But in any battle, a winner has to be decided. Alas, it wasn’t Chong Wei’s day. A real heartbreaker for everyone who followed closely and wanted so badly for Chong Wei to win. There were times when I felt suffocated by the thrills and spills. I was truly marveled by the level of extraordinary resilience displayed by both players. Though Chong Wei lost, in my heart, he is a real fighter and a hero.

Chong Wei, I salute you.
