BIRMINGHAM - Lin Dan can rest for as long as he likes, it doesn't matter. He's the favorite in whatever he enters, including the All England Open this week.
The multiple winner of all of badminton's greatest prizes, Lin will be at the National Indoor Arena for the first time since 2012, when the Chinese superstar captured his fifth All England title.
When he won his fifth world championship in 2013 Wholesale Vancouver Canucks Jersey , beating current No. 1 Chen Long in the quarterfinals and great rival Lee Chong Wei in the final, Lin had played only one tournament in a year. He didn't reappear for another eight months, and went out and won the China Masters without dropping a set, and the Asia Championships a week later.
Back on the road building up to win a third successive Olympic gold medal in Rio de Janeiro next year, Lin has few opponents to fear, especially with Chong Wei sidelined.
"He's not only my opponent, but also my good friend," Lin said of his rival. "I'm hopeful he will make a swift comeback."
Chong Wei has been suspended since November after a positive doping test at the world champs in August. The Malaysian, loser to Lin in the last two Olympic finals Wholesale Washington Capitals Jersey , claims he can't understand why stem cell treatment in July for a thigh injury was still in his system a month later. He awaits a hearing with the Badminton World Federation, and has said if he receives the standard two-year doping ban, he will retire.
Chong Wei's omission means Malaysia is likely to be without a player in the men's singles draw for the first time since 1970.
In the meantime, world champion Chen has risen to No. 1 in Chong Wei's absence, and won the World Superseries Finals in December. But his record against countryman Lin is six losses, no wins.
Top-seeded Chen will play a qualifier on Wednesday, while Lin, seeded fifth, opens against Hong Kong's Wei Nan.
Lin will try to join a select company of three others who have won at last six All England titles: Frank Devlin of Ireland Wholesale Vegas Golden Knights Jersey , six in the 1920s-30s, Erland Kops of Denmark, seven in the 1950s-60s, and Rudy Hartono of Indonesia, eight in the 1960s-70s, when the All England was regarded as the unofficial world championships.
