Where were the Russians this year? Sorry I did not follow the whole thread... Did the Russians avoid the US Open this year?
I just found that Djarum sent Afiat/Wiqgi, debby susanto/Komala dewi to Ballarat, Australia.....hm...also Ricky/Albert saputro...never heard of them....any insight view on this pair, Krisna?
I have.. ..no clue, whatsoever, abt their absence...however: 1. All i know is that, some or all of the Russian players (winners & runners-up) from last yr's U.S. Open had participated in this yr's World Championships in M'sia. And that includes the same Japanese players also.. 2. But from posts in this thread, apparently Yonex USA sponsored or had asked the Japanese players to come and participate...And consider the traveling and logistical issue the Russian players will have to face, esp. after the just finished World Championships....Traveling from Japan to U.S. (L.A.) will most likely take 10-12 hrs..IMO, a bit more bearable for the JPN squad..
Where Krisna is.. ...all inquiries pertaining to Djarum players and going ons, even show up in this thread..
Good Game well, tony run my partner bruck alittle bit..i was mostly in front of the net and trying to set up some good shot for my partner. I dont think i need to answer ...tony's game is of course too hot to handle....no doubt about it. It is a good experience to play against a top player like him, it is my honor...too bad i didn't capture on video...anyone out there recorded our game...please let me know...i would like to see how i play ...
It will be my dream to get a match with Tony in any competition.. Regardless it is a friendly games or whatsoever.. Really glad that we have a member here who has this kinda chance. You should be proud of yourself
