Wow, Taufik won ! His form must be fully recovered and he is now the unbeatable world #1 singles player again.....today.
One swallow doesn't make a summer. On this basis then everyone is unbeatable until they lose? He struggled against a second or third rate player to win. Not World No. 1 Performance IMHO.
I think Taufik is back to normal~ Lets hope hes on fire and get into his game straight away... If not... his chances are slim BRING BACK OLYMPIC FORM TAUFIK!!!

Taufik's coach is rumored to have considered resigning and Taufik admitted that his performance was affected by that... [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Isu Mundurnya Pelatih Ganggu Taufik[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Kamis, 01 Juni 2006 | 03:17 WIB [/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]TEMPO Interaktif, Surabayai tengah mengikuti turnamen Djarum Indonesia Open 2006, konsentrasi Taufik Hidayat terganggu oleh rencana mundurnya sang pelatih, Mulyo Handoyo. Juara Dunia 2005 itu tidak menampik penampilannya yang kurang meyakinkan pada partai pertama kemarin tak lepas dari meruapnya isu rencana hengkangnya Mulyo. Taufik menyayangkan sikap PBSI yang terkesan cuek dengan rencana Mulyo tersebut. "Jerih payah pelatih saya tidak dihargai," kata Taufik seusai mengalahkan Agus Hariyanto (Hongkong) 21-18, 23-21 di GOR Kertajaya Surabaya, kemarin. Taufik mengaku akan mempertimbangkan posisinya sebagai atlet pelatnas PBSI jika Mulyo benar-benar angkat kaki dari organisasi tersebut. Namun Taufik tidak tertarik hijrah ke luar negeri dengan alasan berat meninggalkan isteri dan keluarganya. "Kalau dia (Mulyo) mundur pada tanggal 5 Juni besok, saya akan mempertimbangkan masih tetap di PBSI apa tidak," kata Taufik. Taufik pada 2002 pernah keluar dari Pelatnas dan bermain di Singapura, setelah kontrak Mulyo tidak diperpanjang PBSI dan pelatih ini pindah ke negera pulau itu. Kukuh S Wibowo [/FONT]

Deja vu??.. apontoh, thx for the info...actually there are a bit more to the news.. wow, another threat by Taufik again...deja vu all over..but don't you guys agree, even if Taufik is married, and even if he decides to leave PBSI and follow his coach again, his wife will have to follow him...hmm, which brings up a whole different topic.. here's my brief translation of the article to those interested.. Coach's resignation issue bothered Taufik Thursday, June 1st, Tempo Interactive, Surabaya In the middle of competition of the 2006 Djarum Indonesian Open, Taufik Hidayat's concentration level was bothered with the resignation plan of his coach, Mulyo Handoyo. The 2005 World Champion performance on the 1st day reflected the big issue over Mulyo's plan to leave. Taufik regretted PBSI's lackadaisical and care-less attitude with Mulyo's plan. "All the hard work of my coach is unappreciated", said Taufik after defeating Agus Hariyanto (Hongkong) 21-18, 23-21 yesterday at Kertajaya Sporth Hall in Surabaya. Taufik admitted that he will reconsider his position as an athlete in Pelatnas PBSI if Mulyo indeed will leave from that organization. But Taufik wasn't interested in going overseas with a difficult resason of living his wife and family. "If he(Mulyo) leave tomorrow on June 5th, i will reconsider if i will stay @ PBSI or not", said Taufik. In 2002, Taufik actually left Pelatnas and played in S'pore after Mulyo's contract wasn't extended by PBSI and the coach moved to the island country. Kukuh S Wibowo
