Look at the WS fields, I doubt if any one can get more than 10 pts against her. Same as Taufik, every match will be 21-3 21-4....
Withdrawals.. ..with abt 1 week to go, here are the latest withdrawals: - Tine Rasmussen (DEN). Apparently she withdrew 2 days before the deadline. Don't know the reason. - Gao Ling & Wei Yili (CHN) citing H1N1 flu scare as the probable "excuse".. - Ashton Chen & Derek Wong (SIN) also citing H1n1 flu scare as the probably "excuse"..
^^U.S. is affected..^^ ..but it is also a big country. However, the percentage affected is probably too small; last heard abt.............20 cases. 20 people out of 300 million+ is only .006% of the population. Oh, sorry, kept thinking of the bird flu. I'm still chowing down on my BBQ Char Siu Pork & Tony Roma's Pork Rib dishes...mmm..
Hey, everyone, Just want to chit-chat, is it only me or are there anybody else thing that US Open is Indonesian badders reunion party? Bcoz I found these players' name are like Indonesians' (but representing USA). [INA] Taufik Hidayat [1] [USA] Ricky Rachmat [USA] Thomas Wijaya [USA] Andrew Susanto [USA] Arnold Setiadi [USA] Nicholas Jinadasa [USA] Nicholas Hardi [DEN] Agus Wiyaja (is it Agus Wijaya????) [USA] Imam Darmawan [USA] Chandra Kowi [USA] Mona Santoso etc
^^Chitty-chat-chat??..^^ - Nick Jinadasa's surname might sound like a Malay/Indo name, but he is neither one of those. - Is Taufik representing USA now?? - Yes, it's Wijaya. Not Wiyaja. - Indonesia badders reunion party?? Hmm, some of them are much younger than others. Some don't even know each other/haven't met each other. - There's also another INA player, Reni Herlina (hopefully she hasn't withdrawn). - You forgot to list the other INA greats: Tony Gunawan, Rudy Gunawan (no relation to Tony), Halim Haryanto. - Other Indonesians you didn't list: Claudia Hardi, Steven Jonatan, Ignatius Rusli (used to coach @ OCBC), Dalery & David Riwu, Hendry Ranawijaya, Tiffany Prajudha (used to play up north in NorCal but now playing for UCI), Jamie Subandhi..
Another withdrawal update.. ..got another confirmation withdrawal: Dicky Palyama will not come because of illness. That leaves Taufik as the sole remaining main draw for this tourney...Hope he won't withdraw at the last minute...
Taufik will definitely come, because it is related to yonex promotion THL against Li Ning Brand Good idea... How about Chong Wei Speed Line?
No Gao Ling, but Jiang Xuelian will be there, she used to be in Chinese national team, retired around 2004, lives in Vancouver and represents Canada. She won 2001 Hong Kong Women's Doubles.
