That's what I was thinking. XUE should have known better since they training on a daily basis together that TIAN is primarily a defender and an excellent retriever just like CHEN Long. XUE's type of game is only sustainable and viable only if he's got LIN Dan's physical strengths; unfortunately, he does not possess such power.
It's disheartening to see a lot of good players fade out of the world stage so fast: WANG Zhengming, Sony KONKORO, BAO Chunlai, Simon SANTOSO, etc. It's our generations fortune to see LIN Dan and LEE Chong Wei going at it for so long, yet still pursuing more wins in their careers.

congras to China, Tian Hou Wei is the next generation of superstar
great. tian will be the super star in 2 years
Hope so
Tian Houwei knew how to conserve energy but Xue Song just kept going at it every rally and Houwei just kept feeding off his attacks

从这个角度看，田厚威有点像张继科
That's true in the end Xue Song had no energy and lost the game
Sadly, Tian is a nobody now in 2018.
