Win or lose, I believe in giving my best and that is what I always do.
Badminton is not only about winning. What is important to me is about playing hard, doing my best and putting up a good show for the spectators.
The biggest problem for badminton is wind direction and lighting. If those problems are not solved, it seriously impacts players' performances on the court. If a high-level player's performance is affected by these factors, they suffer setbacks and cannot be fully satisfied on the court.
Lee Chong Wei is no doubt the best men's singles opponent I've played, and this gives me extra motivation to raise my game each time I play against him.
I have admired Taufik Hidayat for being exceptionally talented and Hendrawan for being a great player only because of his hard work and dedication. I have always looked up to them as players.
I hope wholeheartedly that badminton will be as popular and respected as tennis one day.
Success is not judged by just success in a particular championship.
There is no secret. It is all about doing the same things time and time again. It is all about doing the best every day.
If you play a match, then you got to give it all to beat the opponent; there is nothing like playing against a great or a non-great player. I treat them all as opponents and aim to beat them.
The gold medals from world championships and National Games prove the efficiency of my daily training.
Lee is such a brilliant rival. I treasure the opportunities we have to play each other.
It is our responsibility, but not burden, to be champions.
