[MENTION=104048]scorpion1[/MENTION] as i replied u in another thread ratchanok already beat li xuerui,lol.
Smoking for everyone! Free Djarum t-shirts all around "" (I was trying to drag the thumbs up, not clicking the thing )
Hendra/Ahsan played consistent and agressive against KOR pair, 1 SS and 1 SSP title in this year, hopefully they will continue positive trend towards World Championships next August China bags 3, Malaysia and host Indonesia share 1 title each. The most thrilling final match should be Juliane Schenk v Li Xuerui. Danish XD practically can't do too much in third game...
congratulations to all the winner, esp Hendra Setiawan/Mohammad Ahsan 2nd SS title after their pair together last year! Keep it up in the WC!! they succeed to keep the host / INA badminton dignity... Good bye Djarum.. we will miss you, thanks for all these years supports thanks to the Djarum Indonesia Open Super Series Premier organizer to display wonderful tournament.. such a Best Host and thanks to such an interactive, spirit and high enthusiasm crowd.. The Best Badminton Spectator in the world Hope next year Bibli will continue the high quality tournament...
Congratz to Li Xuerui for her first title in Indonesia and also China's first SS / SSP title in 2013. Now China has 3 more WS titles compare to host Ina
Everyone has their moment of glory. In the men's side, even if china wins the IO MS and MD every year, it'll take them to 2030+ to match INA titles.
The right decision is to sack the BAM Exco ..... but that was never going to happen even with the hugely embarrassing Sudirman Cup show. Malaysia has had a long list of top foreign and local coaches (Morten Frost, Professor Park, Han Jian/Yang Yang combo, Yoo Yong Sung, Rexy, Misbun Sidek) being sacked or forced to leave, why not do it to another local one so that the Exco could keep their job. That was why I told clawhammers that I wished for LCW to follow his good buddy Taufik and retire quickly..... he has done enough and has nothing more to prove. I can respect his consistency and achievements, without him trying to do another Olympics/World title challenge. This way, Malaysia will have no silverware for years, and then maybe, things are going to happen properly and the right people will come to head the BAM exco. Just like the mid-70s after Punch Gunalan's retirement ........
