I mean Taufik. Too bad that the best are not there. It's like a foregone conclusion that the Korean will take all the titles.
i think we won't see much top players in korea open as everyone was preparing for the upcoming All England... Nt much Mas players will be there... Bt still looking forward for our DatuK Lee to have another great match there!
China National team wont participate but the independent ones is. such as Zhang Jiewen/Yang Wei and Gao Ling/Wei YiLi
Rendra Wijaya/Joko Riyadi are not ready yet, given they lost to the Korean no 3 pair in the first round of MAS SS.
It's wise decision for SDK to withdraw from KOR SS, he's not in good condition to play after his quarterfinal defeat to Hsieh Yu Hsin. Better for SDK to back home and focus for All England next March.
