The 12-21, 12-21 defeat disappointed the China's third seeded. Unfortunately, the disappointment also made him unwilling to meet the press who were waiting for her comments on his defeat.
That was not the first time Lin Dan refused to talk to the media after playing a match at Senayan, Jakarta. He did the same thing last year.
The BWF regulation mentions that in every mandatory tournament, a high level tournament like Superseries Premier, every player must attend the media center to give their official statement. Failing to do so will cause 250 dollar fine for each match.
"This is a mandatory tournament for world top players. Skipping the press conference will cause US$250 fine. Two times, US$250 times two. Thrice, the fine will be US$3000," Yuni Kartika, Indonesia Badminton Association Public Relation and Media Handling explained.
The two time Olympic champion (2008 Beijing and 2002 London Olympic) was once asked by the media about the reason why he performed below par whenever playing in Indonesia. He said he didn't know why he always had a bad performance whenever playing in Indonesia.
"Perhaps Lin Dan doesn't like noisy supporters. But in my opinion. Lin just didn't have his best performance," said Jojo.
