Ya, this is so funny. Playing in MO will like playing in KL Open. What's the difference? No, right. Stupid draw. Should rearrange the draw.
Then make sure you beat your opponent, to play with different people loh !! If you decide to lose, then you can't blame anybody for going all the way there to play a "practice match".
Looks like another re-draw for the Korean Open.. ..has been conducted for the QF round...hmm, it says the main reason is "irregularities in the randomisation of players"?? what does that mean??.. http://www.internationalbadminton.org/newscontent.asp?pageid={A929DE7E-DCC5-4056-A6D2-1962064B5076}
looking at the draw it seem like if KKK/TBH in the usual match it will easily get into quarter and meet the same Malaysian play Lww/Ctf ..... SIGN...
It was announced even before the draws were done for Malaysia or Korea that Taufik would play in KL but not Seoul. Hence, we can be sure that the decision has absolutely nothing to do with his showing in Malaysia. As far as I know, he is not on record as having given any reason for skipping the Korea Open. Notes to that effect on this thread seem to be based on personal opinion. While it is true that after the 2002 Asian Games in Busan, Taufik swore never to play in Korea again, he has been here twice since: in 2004 and 2006. Note also that Simon Santoso is skipping the Korea Open as well.
Too bad!!!.. Rian/Eng Hian going to Korea today, dunno if the rest of INA team go with them.. I think China is going tomorrow. As far as I know, Taufik will fly back to to Indonesia tomorrow. Simon again? So next time he will hopefully attend All England and Swiss Open.
Off topic-Speaking of announcing.. ..event, just curious, will you be helping out with the PA task again @ the Korea Open??..
