Taufik to play Shon Seung Mo first round at Hong Kong open :D! Taufik's recent poor showings and Shon Seung Mo making a semi last week... could be interesting! I don't think Taufik has had enough time to recover from his injury and to get back on top of his game.

But the Korean was playing at home last week. It is a very even match. Shon has some advantage in term of stamina, but overall skills and finesse, Taufik is better. I hope Taufik will win, but logically I think Shon will win. Taufik will lose if they go to a rubber set.
