Honestly I'm shocked with Hayom, he was so promising last year and who knows what happened this year. Looks like Angga/Rian are still better
KOR still struggle to find XD after LHJ was leaving. At least until now, even I am still not completely sure that LYD/HJE will progress into top World 16 by next year.
As expected, Hayom lost yet again to Yoyo Hafiz in the first round. His prospect looks bleak as he's expected to exit in the first round against Du Pengyu in his next tourney (Japan SS). As for Firda, her prospect of getting a spot in the London Olympics looks bleak too as she will again face Tai Tzu Ying in Japan SS.
To be blunt, you are too optimistic. Very disappointed in Iskandar, seems like he has never improved and is slowly falling to the back of the backup.
no worry, chou tien chen is very good and quite talented. they play in 3 sets. it can be said that they are equally good. chou 1990, iskandar 1991... both can be player to watch in 3-4 years i think....
