I feel my form is better than ever.

He is just fooling around. Its normal for Lin Dan to drop a set but in the end, he will secure the match. When everyone starts questioning his condition, he will prove his prowess and that's Lin Dan for you.

I was close to winning.

We have been runners-up for so many times, this time we wanna win it.

This is a good tournament, everybody could see how the others adapt to the new system. To me, it's OK, because I am an attacking player. And the new rule is good for attacks. But I don't think it is the future of badminton.

Anyway, in the new system, many surprises could happen.

Now I am building up for the Thomas Cup.

As long as I have that I will keep going.
