Bravo TienMinh, Tien Minh is N1 player in vietnam, comeon TienMinh
I think Taufik always has trouble with small and agile opponents when he is not trying to play his best -- which he usually is in earlier rounds. It seems he never really prepares for early round opponents, and just tries to find out a winning strategy during the match. And when the opponent is very agile and can return all his shots no matter how good the placements are, he is in trouble.
Remember how Taufik in 05 almost lost to Boonsak?

No wonder....you are OFF from radar.....who won the matches? sarwendah? Rosiana tendean??Ratih Komala Dewi?
No Sarwendah, no Rosi, no Ratih... Too few participants in the Veteran WD...
They organizers decided not to play that category. Bobby Ertanto-Heryanto were seeded 1st, Iie Sumirat-[Major General] Sabar Yudo was seeded 2nd. I also saw Hermawan Susanto, Hastomo Arbi, Eddy Hartono, Eddy Kurniawan competing...
I heard they want to play in KL for the Senior's World Championship soon... Want to beat old opponents...One day, Taufik, Sony, Simon, and Andre will play in these tournaments...
Ha ha ha...Good to see the veterans still active, had a lot of respect for their talents ....
Anyway, when it comes to players like Tien Minh, Boonsak, Tago, Wacha even, I think that had they been playing in countries that take badminton really seriously, they would be even better players than they are now. Who knows, Tien Minh could have been another Taufik/LCW had he been born Indonesian or Malaysian.
Definitely talent and great coaching is already there, but without top quality sparring, it's really hard to develop your game to the fullest. Probably the reason why CHN can maintain it's consistency in almost all disciplines.

Taufik Hidayat bowed out and shocked the crowd as he lost to Nguyen Tien Minh of Vietnam in 2 sets 21-18 / 21-12 in the second round. “I was surprised that I won the match. In a way I felt that Taufik was not playing his best”, said Tien Minh.
“I found it hard to control the shuttle, it was too slow. I was frustrated that it went this way. However Tien Minh played well and he deserved to win”, said Taufik Hidayat.
When Taufik played against Tien, he had a lot of baseline shots that went "long". I give due credit to Tien for his tenacity and very good conditioning against the very unpredictable shots of TH, but TH was very intimidated with the shuttle cock that is being used report says. It's a Victor (green)! Obviously, many players complain on the behaviour of the Victor shuttles! Even Bao Chunlai had a miserable time with this feather, spectators reported. Most of the players, if not all, keep on requesting for feather replacement during the games. Some Victor representatives in the event claim that it's the airconditioning that affects the overall speed and "flight" pattern of their feather. The Victor courts did not get a "thumbs up" from majority of the players as well. Some players had some "weird" falls due to the slippery conditions of the courts. I do hope Victor can improve their product line soon.
He he he...
Eerrr.... there was a woman who claimed that her son was Taufik's... but we don't talk about that anymore in Jakarta... Taufik's father in law, the General Agum Gumelar, made sure the rumors 'dissapear'... [just kidding]

[just kidding]these excuses like wind draft, shuttles speed/quality, lighting, etc are just excuses because each player subject the same conditions.Source: badzine.info

his characteristic is when he dun feel happy, he will giv up...
I already left Tegal when the finals happened, but my friend who was still there told me:
WS: Rosaria "Pipin" Pungkasari [Djarum] defeated Rhanny Sanusi [Djarum]
GS Taruna: Lindaweni [Ragunan] defeated Jenna Gozali [Djarum]
GS Remaja: Rischa [Djarum] defeated Gabby [I think Jaya Raya]...
I pay more attention to the Women's game... He he he...
MS: ...I am not sure whether Budi won the final... But in the semis Ahmad Rivai defeated Nugroho Andi Saputro [a.k.a. Gepeng], and... maybe Budi won over Sartono Eko [a.k.a. Kiki]
