Can TS or Hayom handle Tanongsak Saensomboonsuk. This THA player is super aggressive, so-so stamina, he won't last a rubber-set.
Tanongsak was injured and he retired in THA vs. SINGAPORE match today. If he is not a go, can Ihsan play MS3 replacing Simon vs. Suppanyu? Berry Angriawan and Ricky Karanda should also play MD2 vs. Sudket/Patiphat. Angga/Ryan should slide to MD1 vs. Maneepong/Nipitphon. I am sure INA can take at least 2 Singles and all 2 Doubles vs. THA with Ihsan and Berry Angriawan/Ricky Karanda
Don't underestimate Thailand even without Tanongsak, they can give close fight. If INA players are nervous, they can find themselves behind. The doubles players are also good individually but they just don't seem to have consistent doubles pair.
How INA will perform against KOREA in elimination round? We must take all 3 MS to comfortably move on to the next round.
The real test for INA Thomas Cup began today. INA got a relatively easy group. But for the knock out draw they got the toughest route. France and Thailand are easier than Denmark and Korea. If INA enters semifinal, they will face either MAS or DEN which are also tough.
this boils down who can handle the nerves and pressure better and the strategy. I pick indonesia to have the upper hand because Malaysians could be a bundle of nerves and that Rexy is on the other side and he is a good motivator for the Indonesians.
when will Reony Mainaky come back and start coaching the WD? I saw him next to Park Joo Bong today. He is in charged of both MD and WD of Japan. Look at how JPN has improved under Park Joo Bong.
It's a shame that after Taufik retired, there is no ace Single player from Indonesia men or women. Though their doubles pair are good but they don't have a single singles player in top ten.
Yes, he is in top ten but he only won one tournament this year and that was a miracle and apart from that he never reached a final. Tommy is about the same age as LCW, LD and Taufik, but the new youngsters from Indonesia now are their best hope.
