Wooohooo congratulations Rajiv. I am luckily enought to know Rajiv and he his a good friend. Well good friend and he coaches me . And I am very happy for him. Also he who is current world rank only number 50 , beat Carl Baxter quite easily who is world number 35. He is an amazing upcoming player - loosing to Taufik Hidayat 21-18 , 21-16 , and loosing to Peter Gade 21-19 23-21 I think Andrew Smith never plays in the nationals. Since Last year he didn't play aswell. Where last year Rajiv beat Aamir Ghaffar. I think Andrew has a problem with badminton england. But he is training in malaysia , training for the all england. Good luck to both of themm
