    :D
    I don't really believe playing with the left gives you any advantage past being unusual. Good players will be able to adapt and make it an even playing field again...

    But most left handed players are exceptionally very good when they are good. Take Lin Dan :p

    @Yoji I believe everyone has players/countries they ardently support. But it really doesn't hurts to be objective, you know

    Nice try mate. Ahsan probably wasn't even in the Top100 at the time :D he got carried by Setiawan for the entire first year of their partnership too, lost them the All England vs Qiu/Liu single handedly :D
    Setiawan was absolutely exceptional. No doubt about that. Pretty unbelievable what he achieved with those partners. I also 'admit' that Cai/Fu mostly dominated him after 2008 because Kido got fatter and fatter and was pretty much worthless by 2011 :D

    Lacking penetration, no power from the back I'd say....wouldnt do great I think. They're both good enough from the back that they aren't a real weakness with a partner with a stronger smash, but if neither has a good smash it's problematic.

    Oh really? Well, they need marketable badminton players to develop the sport in Europe.

    How can you know WS is a joke at that time? Schenk won one SuperSeries title and was former world #2. Overzier: in 2006 WC, she beat #4 seed Wang Chen and #9 Jiang Yanjiao before lost to Zhang Ning.

    Saina Nehwal makes India love badminton as a thriving sport that somehow can compete with the popularity of cricket. I dunno pretty much about Schenk. For me, she seems forgotten outside the badminton fans and doesn't get too much respect in Germany unlike Saina in India.

    What do you mean "at that time", I was talking about now. The current top German WS player is Fabienne Deprez, gimme a break...she doesn't even train seriously half the time, honestly. That's what I meant. Schenk was pretty good for a non-Danish European player, but she was a sole exception and not actually part of the German training camp, choosing to train on her own a lot, and hiring Wong Chong Hann for that iirc. The German WS department is a bit of a joke, and has been for some time. Some even made half their career on looks alone :D

    Oh sorry i thought you meant during the mid-to-late 2000s.
    If I’m not mistaken, did Wong Chong Hann also make Marin to become incredible in 2015? Or was it a different coach?

    I think someone was the one not objective and being subjective instead. he can say KevinGideon is not the best but i think by the time he retires he will number WR1 for the longest time, alreay the first MD to retain AE in decades :). There are just way too many factors to list compared to what he cant achieve.
