Ya,there are many tournaments recently.Coming week is the Macau Open which your favourite LD also will participing. After that is Thailand open.There are two more tournaments before WC which are 6*Korea and Hong Hong Open. All the players will be busy before the WC.
Have a question to ask?!as i know there will be only top16 ranked players in the world are qualified to play in WC 2006....Taufik Hidayat is currently in 23 spot!if he keep on that place....will i meet him in madrid?!
So he will compete in the Macau tournament and maybe other tournaments like the 6* Korea Open and hope to win some title to make sure he can be in the top 16.I think this maybe is the reason but anyway i am just guessing.
KaSoon .... based on the IBF website, it will be from 7-19 of August 2007. I'm planning to go .... it would be my first time in Malaysia.
wow, that's quite a long schedule-12 days?!?!.. ...even this yr's World Championship in Madrid only lasts for at max. 7 days(not incl. arriving and practicing extra days)..
