    Just because he won the WC & The Olympics? No way, it should go to Lin Dan for consistancy, he's been at least in the semi-finals of all the opens this year.

    I Dont think Lin will win, he hasnt won a major tournament, and that is what the title is about, being the best in the best tournaments.

    No prizes for consistency, I could lose every game and say I was consistent!

    I would say US MD in with a shout, simply because Taufik was expected to do well, if not win, whereas no one would have thought a US team could win a Title.

    I definitely support Taufik. One because I am an Indonesian and two because it seems they take winning 7* tournaments as an important criteria for winning this award. Even though Hidayat wasn't no. 1 last year, he won the Olympics and became player of the year. He won WC this year with top-class net-play and backhand and there seems no reason why he should be denied the award.

    Disagree. It's like saying it's good enough to finish 3rd or 4th - let's reward you with player of the year. Like in any pro sports, it's about winning, and winning the "majors" more so. Tiger Woods would never be voted player of the year for consistently finishing in the top 5. He's player of the year for winning majors!

    Definitely Taufik for MS. He comes up big in tournaments that matter.

    I'm a Chinese, and I don't like Taufik's personalities. But I definitely think Taufik should be the player of the year even if Lin Dan wins all the tournments the rest of the year.

    Well.. i think Lin Dan still has quite a bit to go as he always seems to crash out (mentally/emotionally) on major events like Olympics n WC, losing to Ronald Susilo n Taufik.. He's juz not prepared mentally/psychologically for major events.. EXCEPT maybe for AE2005?

    nobody want to know if you're chinese or not. i think you're talking about the past taufik. the taufik now is a different person, a more mature player on and off court.:cool:

    Well, if the player of the year award always go to the World champ or Olympic champ, we don't need the player of the year award, do we? Just winning the 7* tournaments will do. The award comes automatically with it. So, we may as well crown Gunawan/Bach as the MD pair of the year now...

    However, I do agree that Taufik has been the best so far this year.

    definetly for Taufik,
    Wining for OC & WC (this is the most important wining the major tournamets)
    This year he's beat mostly top players, ; Lin Dan, Kenneth Jonasson,Chen Hong, Lee chon way, but I don't know if see Bao Cun Lay or Peter Gade.

    For Lind Dan (he still no. 1 world rank) but he's lost in the last 3 tournaments, SO beat by Taufik, MO beat by LCW, WC beat by Taufik

    I agree. She deserves the player of the year more than Taufik, too bad there should be a male player of the year and a female player of the year instead of just one.
