In the past couple of months, the fact that Lin Dan, known to many in the badminton world as Super Lin Dan, lost twice in the row has created rumors that he lost his form... or Super badminton power. In Singapore Open 2007 Boonsak Ponsana (Thailand) beat Lin Dan in a close three games in the semi-final of Singapore Open 2007. In Sudirman Cup 2007, Lee Chong Wei of Malaysia beat Lin Dan to create the second loosing streak.

Today, Lin Dan proves to himself that he still has his form and power by beating an in-form Lee Chong Wei of Malaysia in the China Masters 2007. The game was very close with scores of 15-21, 21-14, and 21-15 . Both players showed their fighting spirit to win, but in the end Lin Dan won and moved up to the final to face Wongh Choon Han of Malaysia.
 
Though many considers that tomorrow final will be an easy win for Lin Dan, Wong Choon Han has shown the world that he will fight hard. As the adage says "It is not finish until the fat lady sing." Thus, Lin Dan is not the winner until he beat Wong Choon Han tomorrow in the final.
