The fans from the Netherlands will probably be quite sad. After the news that had entered the tournament – for the first time in many years – the recently crowned China National Games champion announced to China’s Xinhua News Agency that he would not participate in any tournaments in Europe until the end of this year. Lin said he will return to China’s national team in February 2014.

“I hope to spend more time with my family,” he told Xinhua. “I want to enjoy the life.

“But I will play for the national badminton league which starts this October,” he added.

This means he will not participate in the Dutch, French nor Danish Open in October, and hints he will probably skip The China Open Superseries Premier and the Hong Kong Open as well.
