my, my, quite an attitude you have eh? Ever heard of the search function? Or just too lazy to use it?
Nowadays the best strategy against TH is ... Run Run Run. Try your best to return everything and TH will get tired.
I also think he (Taufik) is too nice especially against lower ranked opponents and in matches he is expected to win. That is he lacks the killer instinct, unlike Lee Chong Wei, Lin Dan, who while nice off the court, are absolutely ruthless on the court. Or maybe that's just part and parcel of his style of play (laid back)? Always good to watch tho. Joe P.
Luluk???? Do u mean Alvent Yulianto or Hendra A. Gunawan? Looking at the remaining players/pairs left in the draw, I am hoping that INA will win 2 events: 1. Men's Singles -- Taufik Hidayat (his opponents are likely to be Wong Choong Hann in the SF and either Nguyen Tien-Minh, Tommy Sugiarto, Andre Kurniawan Tedjono or Mohd Hafiz Hashim in the Final....all are manageable opponents.) 2. Mixed Doubles -- Mohd Rijal/Liliyana Natsir (SF opponent: V. Diju/Jwalla Gutta or Shin Baek Cheol/Yoo Hyun Young; Final opponent: Hendra A.G./Vita Marissa or Yohan Hadikusumo Wiratama/Chau Hoi Wah or Tontowi Ahmad/Richi Puspita Dili or Han Sang Hoon/Jang Ye Na) to repeat last year's achievements. INA can also win: 3. Men's Doubles -- Hendra A. Gunawan/Alvent Yulianto Chandra (but, it's very much dependent upon AG...if he's not nervous as in previous matches esp when it comes to SF and F, the duo might just nail down their first GP Gold title!)
Sorry Hau-Ge, I don't consider them as INA players as Mona is from the US Moreover, Mona has ben so long away from INA. I doubt they will beat the in-form Zhang Dan/Zhang Zhibo.
Actually Luluk already lost in the 1st round ... This time, pelatnas only sent their back-up players Sadly, most of them are qual. and early rounds casualties At QF stage, from pelatnas there's only Ri/But, Towi/Richi and Tommy left Maybe only Ri/But who have biggest chance to win title here Aside than that, there's still ex pelatnas and PB Djarum's players around Yeah it would be nice if INA can grab some titles here, after some kind of failure from previous tourneys Oh btw i guess Andre is no longer in Pelatnas, rite? So unless PBSI recruit him (again), probably the 3rd singles for the upcoming Thomas Cup would be that *cough, cough* Tommy CMIIW
