[samuel882]

Hereis some of the promising star of badminton arena in the coming future. They will be players to watch after 2008 Beijing Olympics..

2. Chan Peng Soon/ Chang Hun Pin
3. Mak Hee Chun/ Lim Khim Wah
4. Kuan Kam Chung/ Teo Kok Siang. (I fink its better for them to concentrate their power's game in the Doubles rather than MS)
5. Ong Jien Guo/ Goh Wei Shern :rolleyes:



INA
MS
1. Tommy sugiarto - Will facing some internal challenge.. But no doubt will be the INA best hopes for the future..
2. Andrea Tedjono Kurniawan - exciting players :p
3. Alamsyah Yunus
4. Indra Bagus
5. Bandar Sigit Pamungkas
6. Fauzi Adnan

MD
1. Rian/Yoke - Hot Picks;)
2. Bohna/ Ahsan
3. Saputra Albert/ Ariffin
4. Lingga/Fitriawan

China
MS
1. Lu yu
2. Qiu Yan Bo
3. Chen Long:eek:
4. Lu QiCHeng
5. Gong Weijie

MD
1. Shen Yen /He Han Bin;)
2. XuChen / Sun JunJie

KOR
MS
1. Hong Ji Hoon:eek:
2. Hwang Jun Woon
3. Han Ki Hoon
4. Park sung Min

MD
1. Han Sang Hoon / Cho Gun Woo:eek::eek:
2. Yoo Yeon Seong / Jeon Jeon Bum ( Not Sure YYS will be paired up with HSH for permanent of temporary) :confused:
3. Kim Dong Hun/ Shin Baek Choel
Hopes Some inputs to edit the above & add any players that i have left up.. Will be interesting to see those names will be shined or just out shadow by the others in the future.. ;)

[badMania]

For INA's MD:
certainly no 1 pick from Team Pelatnas is Bona Septano/Mohd Ahsan. They are both only 19 this year and the future certainly is bright if they maintain current performance. Bona could learn from his older brother, Markis Kido. If PBSI sends this pair to more Gold GP and hopefully SS by mid next year, they should be the one to watch out for in World Championships 2009 and 2010; and definitely for the Asian Games 2010 (22 yo) and Olympics 2012 (24 yo).

Next up will be Fernando Kurniawan/Subakti, although I haven't seen enough of them to make a judgement.

Wiqfi Windarto/Alfiat Yuris Wirawan is also a contender...they are younger than Bona/Ahsan, I think they are only 18. A SF placing in the Indonesia Challenge is a good result for them.

As for Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki, they might be slightly old for the Olympics 2012, since they will be around 27 yo by then. The other complication is the fact that they have quit Pelatnas and whether they can go to the Asian Games or Olympics will be a problem. Nevertheless, I think they have a realistic chance of being a top 10 pair by next year.

I hope we will see stars from Europe... If badminton has no Euro-champs, then it is no fun... :( ...and we will loose our spot in the Olympics... :crying::crying::crying:

Me too.. Hopes there is some stars emerge beside the traditional powerhouse , such as Denmark..

[LIMEY]

Me too.. Hopes there is some stars emerge beside the traditional powerhouse , such as Denmark..
maybe from england. badminton is getting quite famous there after their top XD players robertson/emms and clark/kellogg

[lamlam50254]

yeah! yanjiao jiayuo!!!^V^

[samuel882]

I fink INA should consider sending 1 or 2 Juniors for TC'08... Not to rely too much on TH... And also give the quota to singles instead of doubles players.

So as MAS team. Every MJs should fight for a place since the third singles has been an wide open challenge.

The idea team for filling out the player's quota should be : 5 Singles, 2 doubles pairs & one reserve doubles players

[koo_fan]

Europe countries are not concerating on badminton bcoz their players are not doing well in badminton.
But i hope one day badminton will be widely accepted in the whole world.Thats my only hope for badminton

[badMania]

ENG does have some potential MD and XD pairs. With Tan Kim Her's help, they should remain a threat in these 2 disciplines (plus the WD). They are not exactly young, but, we know that European players are usually late bloomers, like Anthony Clark/Robert Blair and Anthony Clark/Donna Kellogg only show improved performance in the past 2 years only.

MD:
Robert Adcock/Robin Middleton (21/22 yo)

XD:
Robert Adcock/Sarah Bok (21/22 yo)

[Krisna]

That is true!

Paul Eric Hoyer Larsen won the Olympic gold at 30+ years old. Jens Ericksen-Martin Lungaard also became very competitive world-beaters at 30+... Kenneth Jonassen also...

[Krisna]

INA
WS
Maria Febe Kusumastuti; she already floats like a butterfly, just haven't sting like a bee... :p She needs more power than today. She may very well be the next INA #1 WS after Maria Kristin and Firdasari retires... Febe and Pia are the top contenders to replace Maria and Firda...

[ants]

True also. We also have our very own CTF/LWW. However i dont think they can last as long as Jens and Martin do. But at least they can still play at the highest level until now.

In terms Indonesian players. I can see that what the private sector does to the players is a good thing. The jrs need good support and management. Unfortunately PBSI can't do much.. they need to have a revamp. I'm sure Indonesia will be back on track as consistent world beaters like those old days. At least they have more players than us the Msians.

We still need alot of young players. Not enough.

[samuel882]

According to some of my frans from Euro, Most European family would encourage their kids to learn & enhanced their football skills over others sports. The PRO football players could earn at least 5000-8000 euro dollar weekly minus tax. While PRO from badminton earning is very damn poor !
If they discovered that they doesn't have enough talent in Football, then only they will considered switch their attention to other sports.. Mayb badminton.
I believe this is the main keys which affected Most of the Euro badminton to become late - bloomers in international badminton arena.

[badMania]

Maria Febe Kusumastuti; she already floats like a butterfly, just haven't sting like a bee... :p She needs more power than today. She may very well be the next INA #1 WS after Maria Kristin and Firdasari retires... Febe and Pia are the top contenders to replace Maria and Firda...

Haha...you keep "promoting" Febe :p
I thought Slyvinna Kurniawan might be a better prospect than her :cool:

[ants]

Both players are good also. Febe footwork is much better than Slyvinna, but Slyvinna shots execution is better than Febe IMO.

KOR

1. Hong Ji Hoon:eek:

MD
1. Han Sang Hoon / Cho Gun Woo:eek::eek:
2. Yoo Yeon Seong / Jeon Jeon Bum ( Not Sure YYS will be paired up with HSH for permanent of temporary) :confused:
3. Kim Dong Hun/ Shin Baek ChoelShin Baek Cheol is still a power in singles. He won the German Junior Open; however, you are right in that you never can tell with Koreans. So many switch to doubles after their junior years are up and Shin has already had some success in mixed. Kim Dong Hun is no longer on the national team. Jeon has been plagued by injuries ever since the Korea Open 2007. In doubles, some of the juniors may have a future. Lee Jung-hwan and Kim Ki-jung, for example, or Lee Dong-geun, Jung Eui-seok, and Kim Young-sun. It is a little early to tell what the partnerships will be.

It is fascinating that somehow Korea can produce many good MD or WD...eventhough they keep changing the pairs until getting the right ones...still young ones are the one to watch...Korea needs another back-up pair after LYD/JJS and LJJ/HJM...in a year or two, we will see the stronger Korean MD....

[CLELY]

The current top-4 bdm stars of MS sector : LD-TH-LCW-PG and who will replace them? Difficult to decide but for TH, almost certainly must be Tommy as the successor.

WS -- Seems Wang Yihan is CHN's upcoming star. She had grabbed World Junior/06, Invitational World Cup 2006 title and Individual Gold of Universiade/07 thus far. Meanwhile INA, still struggling to produce next Susi Susanti, maybe Pia/Sylvinna/Maria?!

Yeah.. The KOREAN always unpredictable with their doubles formation. Especially in team events..
LYD will be growth as the next PJB.. who can win with partnering any of their Doubles players.. ;)

[Krisna]

Haha...you keep "promoting" Febe :p
I thought Slyvinna Kurniawan might be a better prospect than her :cool:

So sue me! :p I like them both, but Febe has more spunk! ;) Both have good footwork [in the INA Junior level]. However, it is more fun to watch Febe. She has a lot more shot-variety arsenal. She screams and yells after exciting points.

Sylvi is like a poker-faced ice-queen... :) although she has a never-say-die attitude, she has shorter legs and limited power... Very difficult in the long run when playing against the tall-slender Chinese WS... Sylvi has a shot to become a top 20-30 player one day... I heard Sylvi has played Wang Yihan 3 times before... won the 1st time, lost the last 2 times... :p In last year's World Junior Championship, Sylvi stretched Saina Nehwal to the limit in rubber sets before eventually loosing. Saina was more powerful.

Febe... will reach WMC level... ;) I dare not say she can be INA's next Susi Susanti... [even though many people said Febe floats on the court like Susi]... :p Note: Febe got annihilated by Wang Yihan in the World Junior Championshp last year... :p

For WS, Christian said last year that INA needs 3 to5 yrs.....hm..I want it sooner....:D:D Hopefully PIA/Febe can catch up soon...

INA's most talented WS of the future are still around 15-16 today... The rest of the world have not heard of them yet. They are around the same age as Ayu Pratiwi, Gebby, and Rischa who represented INA in the Under-16 Asian Championship last month. But their record has not been spectacular.

They are still like Eagle chicks who are still learning to fly... Still clumsy, cannot flap their wings too well. But once they get their act together, they shall spread their strong wings wide, and they shall soar to the sky! ;)

Christian is right. INA shall need 5 years for another Susi Susanti... :o Febe, Pia will be around the same or slightly tougher than Maria & Firda [today]. They are the pre-cursor of what's to come... ;)

I agree with the 1st one on this list. ;) They are awesome for their young age. We shall see them again in the World Junior Championship eh? :)

[ants]

I like the way Tan Wee Kiong and Woon Khe Wei play. I hope they can go far in their badminton career. They have gone thru hard times. Both players are young and willing to listen. Woon is much stable compare to Tan.

Tan WK will be featuring in this year WJS.. But WKW would not..

U probably is the gratest Indonesian Fan and u luv Maria Febe,
Seen her played. She is pretty good, How old is she? Do i think she can match our Malaysian Lydia Cheah?

Krisna falls in love with this girl....:D:D she is 18 now....if I am not wrong...she did beat Lydia Cheah this year...or Maria elfira did..

[Sandy]

She is 17 y.o. born in 1990
She has beaten some big name like Jun Jae Youn, Salakjit Ponsana in Thailand also forced 3 sets to Zhu Lin in Philippine, almost beat WYH in Milo 2005, Cheng Sao Chieh in INA Open 2007.

I disagree. :o taufik-ist, Indra, Sandy, badMania, ctjcad, and Huangkwokhau are bigger INA fans than me... :D They know all the statistical facts. I only know the general picture. But I think I know about Indonesian Badminton politics and domestic badminton issues better than most fans. Many people from various roles in INA's badminton world volunteer information to me... :p

Febe defeated Fransisca Ratnasari in the 2007 Indonesian Open Superseries, then went on to play 3 games against Cheng Shao-Chieh of Taiwan in the next round but eventually lost... :p

Cheng Shao-Chieh defeated Xie Xinfang decisively in a lop-sided straight sets in the next round. [I admit Xie Xinfang played terribly in this year's Indonesian Open Superseries]... If Febe had a little more experience [and muscle-power], it could have been Febe who defeated an off-form Xie-Xinfang the next day... :p

Maria Febe vs. Lydia Cheah... hmm... They might meet each other in this year's World Junior Championship. ;) We shall shall see...

[tjl_vanguard]

i think MAS can only rely on TCS and CKB in the future.... hehe :D

True...hehe...Hau-Ge is a bigger badminton fan than me :D

However, being able to know the inside of Indonesia Badminton is only possible if u are in the game, let alone if someone want to volunteer these info to u :p Krisna, u should run for PBSI president in the near future...I will support u :D

I put the place of tournament wrongly, it should be

Tan WK will be featuring in this year WJS.. But WKW would not..do u mean world junior championships..? y wkw will not be featuring in WJ..? if not how r they going to play mixed doubles.. they r d hot favourite for the title..

At this time, I know enough people inside of PBSI... ;) The result of years of socializing and networking... ;) It is true that people won't volunteer information to someone whom they think intend to harm them. I think they willingly volunteer information to help enlighten those who are really curious and genuinely want to improve things... :)

I won't be running PBSI anytime soon... :p Too many tasks I have to finish... Among others, I still plan get Wang Yihan, Wang Lin, Jiang Yanjiao, and one more "still-undiscovered-by-LYB" future WS star from China to become Indonesian. I think these 4 future stars should be enough to make INA badminton WS shine after they convert their citizenship to INA [in 2 years according to BWF rule]. ;)

I only concentrate on fixing INA's big weakness in WS. In WD, I am not worried anymore, our INA tomboys can compete and defeat the Chinese... ;)

[tommy_bun]

I hope we will see stars from Europe... If badminton has no Euro-champs, then it is no fun... :( ...and we will loose our spot in the Olympics... :crying::crying::crying:

Pay attention to Jenny Wallwork,She's still young and she beat flandy/vita rite???She will be the next big thing to replace emms or kellog in MX

I think Pia has bigger chance than febe.Febe's peak time was in Ina SS after that she didnt perform well,she even lost to Liu Jie N lost to Uchida Shizuka in terrible rubber set.
This is just my personal opinion

I plan to marry all four of them. ;) Thus, I shall use up my maximum-four-wives quota in INA... :cool: I don't think I need any help in this patriotic act. :p

tommy-bun?!? Er... are we rivals in this matter? No, right? :D

Rival????of course not kris,As samuel 882 said "Im here not to look for enemies":p:p...Although we are not on the same boat,we still respect each other lahh,we are Frens...
Btw,If I hear ur name I will remember ANAND KRISHNA,do you know him??

[Krisna]

I think Pia has bigger chance than febe.Febe's peak time was in Ina SS after that she didnt perform well,she even lost to Liu Jie N lost to Uchida Shizuka in terrible rubber set.
This is just my personal opinion

Pia is 20. Febe is 18... ;) I have never seen a well-supported full-time badminton athlete (like Febe) peak at 18. If Pia appear to be better now [which she argueably is, I admit], we should not be too surprised.

If we want to compare an 18 year old Febe with an 18 year old Pia, then compare Pia's abilities and accomplishments in 2005 with Febe's abilities and accomplishments in 2007. In my opinion, that is more fair. I

n my observation, Pia have always excelled more in power. ...and Pia can surely play better doubles than Febe. :D Other than that, in terms of fluid footwork, shot-making technique, gameplay variations, Febe is better... [this is an amateurish observation by a non-pro like me]

Note: PBSI just found that Pia cheated on her age. So she can't play at the Asian Junior, Milo Junior, and World Junior this year. Febe still can.

[Krisna]

Rival????of course not kris,As samuel 882 said "Im here not to look for enemies":p:p...Although we are not on the same boat,we still respect each other lahh,we are Frens...

Good to hear that tommy... ;)

I don't know Anand Krishna... :confused: Krisna is a name from the Hindu-epic Mahabharata Wayang story. Krisna in that story is a beacon of knowledge and wisdom. Something I aspire to be, but (of course) I know I am not right now... :p

..looking at past and recent posts, i would say badMania, Sandy and Krisna (esp. from Djarum perspective) are the biggest and most informed/up-to-date BCers of INA badminton (as they follow real close, know & can get faster infos than the rest of us, even of those junior and unheralded INA players);):):cool:...The rest of us are just mere supporters with loud voices..:p:rolleyes::D;)

Hey, you guys from LA can't quote each other like that. That's so unoriginal... :p:D

But seriously, who do you think will be the next biggest star in MS of the world after Taufik, Lin Dan, Peter Gade, an LCW retires...?

From China, we can see Chen Jin... From Malaysia, I only see Tan Chun Seang... From Denmark... er... I have no idea... From Indonesia, it is too tough to call... among the known players, people will say Tommy Sugiarto. But I personally think Hayom Rumbaka will exceed Tommy's abilities...

Tommy is in the pelatnas......honestly INA should replace at least 2 or 3 with new blood....

There is an article today ( bulutangkis.com) that Christian hadinata will fight to get the Pratama progam back, the problem it was dismissed due to lack of fund ( I think it was almost 5 or 6 yrs now...May be Sandy/Krisna can help with this info)...Pratama is like transistion between junior to senior....if I am not wrong...

[ants]

It will be good for ina to hva the programe back. If not the jrs will stay stagnant..

Thats right...they can see that Pelatnas failed in recent Indonesia/Surabaya Challenge with 1 titles, the rest of 2 gone to Djarum....From Rian, Ade Lukas, now Rendra Widjaya are out of Pelatnas as Djarum gives them more chance to compete more tournaments....due to lack of fund, Pelatnas could not send many pairs out at the same time....so I think it is good that let Djarum groom other players until they are ready to enter Pelatnas and but for some I doubt it if they earn good enough money...they may not want to come back to Pelatnas...like Rian,Rendra,Ade Lukas, etc

[Kkamshi]

Hey, you guys from LA can't quote each other like that. That's so unoriginal... :p:D

But seriously, who do you think will be the next biggest star in MS of the world after Taufik, Lin Dan, Peter Gade, an LCW retires...?

From China, we can see Chen Jin... From Malaysia, I only see Tan Chun Seang... From Denmark... er... I have no idea... From Indonesia, it is too tough to call... among the known players, people will say Tommy Sugiarto. But I personally think Hayom Rumbaka will exceed Tommy's abilities...

I think the next Badminton supper star in MS is from China represent by Chen Jin and Lu Qicheng

[Krisna]

I fink CJ is not the same generation as TCS/HR :rolleyes:

Isn't Chen Jin 22 and TCS 20? :confused: That's approximately the same laaah. Plus-minus 3 years old means that they will face each other many times like Taufik and Lin Dan... [even the slightly older Peter Gade]... ;)

How about Gong Wei Jie? I am quite impressed with this guy..

I think Gong Weijie will not make it for Men's Singles. He's also now playing the doubles...

[ants]

Tan Chun Seang needs more fire if he wants to make it big in the tour. He does need some fine tuning and some added spices. He has to turn into a different player or monster once he step in the court. Mental tuning. He has to make his opponent scared of him.

TCS will likely be groomed and given the opportunity to be a MAS MS star in future...whereas GWJ happens to play MS baddy in the wrong nation which has so many future hopefuls lining up, that if a player does not seize the opportunity to perform, he is discarded...if GWJ is from another country, even INA, KOR or MAS, that will be a different story.

[rwchen]

I think Gong Weijie will not make it for Men's Singles. He's also now playing the doubles...

Gong Wei Jie was in the MD department for one year but he is now back in the single's department. He is in the same batch of juniors as Chen Jin, Tan Chun Seang, Lim Kenn. I find his name in the main draw of Taiwan Open

I think Mohd Arif and Lim Fang Yang performed better than their seniors in junior tourneys. Notably, Mohd Arif and Lim Fang Yang beat a number of top juniors players from China ,Indonesia and Japan in this year's Asian Juniors.
I will vote them as the future stars of Malaysia.

No Doubt. The development program by BAM on BJSS bear fruits nowadays.. They just needs a good coach to groom them into success.

Ok, can any of the BC members from Europe add the list of future badminton stars from Europe? Poland? Russia? Germany? Sweden? France? Spain? Italy?

How about from Africa or Australia or America? Anybody knows?

Tiger could hit decent golf shots as a 3-year-old... ;) By 5, Tiger could already beat amateur adults, they said... :cool:

Maybe kwun's kids..... can be the next US child prodigy... in badminton... ;) But the sponsorship money and prize money has to go up first, otherwise, the future of US citizens going pro in badminton is pretty bleak... :o

Hmm... some of the famous Indians are interestingly affiliated with Indonesia. Mittal, the steel billionaire from India, worked for years in Surabaya and can still speak Indonesian/Javanese. I heard he is now funding some Indian badminton players who have a bright future, like Saina Nehwal... :) She and Anup Sridhar are bringing excitement back to Indian Badminton... Even an INA fan like me appreciate the Indian Badminton emergence...

Never heard of Olga yet...how about LarisaGariga ? she is in final now against Elizabeth Cann ( Belgian tourney)

[Syaoran_Style]

yeah Larisa Griga from Ukrainiaccan be the next European challeging the asian girl. She's a former Junior european champion, and she's beginning to shine on the international stages ! Wish her good luck =)

I Just watched the last Junior asian final between Arif and Chen Long, and eventhough Arif lost, i found him stronger than his opponent. Chen Long was just smashing and smashing over and over again, it made it really really boring, but Arif showed his skills and how talented he was. I won't say here Chen Long is a talented guy, mainly because i've always preferred players with skills and techniques.
I think malaysia can count on this young guy to shine in few years, and maybe after the OG 2008 .. =p

You are right ! Arif is probably the greatest talent that MAS badminton ever own.. I am not sure about EUROpean MS player at his generations. But, Arif will be the main title contender for 2012 Olympics if he been given the proper training to excel.

I agree, Arif has the talent, but he need to start to believe.

Thanks for all the input so far from fellow BCers..:)
I might be too subjective coz i only know most of the names for MAS Juniors. I wish to get more input on many others players from various countries.. :)
I still needs more info about rising women badminton players (includes XD pair too) to make this list more prefect :)

[huangkwokhau]

For INa MD:

Albert saputro/Rizky Krenayadi.....

[yannie]

MAS MS:
Also Tan Aik Quan, Kuan Kam Chung, Teo Kok Siang.. but they're younger. Maybe too early to say whether they'll shine as future badminton stars..

MAS WS:
Julia Wong, Lydia Cheah.. and some players of the younger batch..

(Project squads' players: http://www.bam.org.my/about.php)

INA MD:
I'm not sure whether Yoke is 21 or 22.. Rian for sure is 22, turning 23 in November..

Fitriawan?? Is that Devin Lahardi..

Fernando Kurniawan is Fran Kurniawan's younger brother.

China MS:
There's also Chen Tianyu.

DEN MS:
Jan Ø. Jørgensen is not that old, he played Arif before in some junior tournament.. I think it's German juniors..

Rune Ulsing (24 y.o.) (photos: http://www.fjerbolden.dk/spillerne/ulsing.htm)
Michael Christensen (photos: http://www.fjerbolden.dk/spillerne/christensen.htm)

ENG MS:
Raj Popat from Wales.. Hehe, he had been to INA to train in Tangkas before..

[ctjcad]

I think Michael is too old to be star, dont you think? as he is 26 yrs old....he may have a good 3 to 5 yrs to perform...

Elizabeth Alice Cann

Age: 26
..if Mr. Christensen is "too old", then Ms. Cann would be considered as "old" also..?!?!..:confused::rolleyes:;)

I think Emma Mason is pretty too.. Here's her profile. Another rising star from Europe.
...another one of those gal which has your "girl-next-door" look..:)
In a way, i'm waiting for a European/non-Asian WD pair or pairs to rise to the top and start challenging the Asian WDs..It's been a very long while since professional badminton witness a non-Asian WD pair at or near the top of the WD world ranking (anyone knows/remembers when was the last time this happened?)..:confused::p

Zulkifli 3rd from left with father,mom and his bro also badminton player.But this is not recent pic.Can't find a new one.

[badMania]

INA MD:
I'm not sure whether Yoke is 21 or 22.. Rian for sure is 22, turning 23 in November..

Fitriawan?? Is that Devin Lahardi..

Fernando Kurniawan is Fran Kurniawan's younger brother.


Yup. It's Devin Lahardi Fitriawan, although I won't consider him as a future badminton "star" since he's turning 24. I don't think his partnership with Lingga Lie is going to be a top 10 pair. He has more chance in the XD with Lita Nurlita.

You are right, Rian Sukmawan is 22 going on 23, while Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki should be about the same age or 1 year younger. His former partner Yoga Ukikasah is 21 this year. Yes, I do hope Rian/Yoke do rise up the ranking table and hopefully be at least a semi-finalist in the 2009 World Championships :cool: The same goes for Bona Septano/Mohd Ahsan.

Indeed, Fernando Kurniawan is Fran's younger brother and currently in Pelatnas.

I also won't include Fauzi Adnan into the list :cool:

(thanks for the pic)..he looks quite tall, almost as tall as his dad..:cool:
..they should come back to the U.S. and strengthen the U.S. Junior squad:p:rolleyes:;)...MAS already has a whole barn full of talented young players..:p

[badMania]

For MAS XD, I can easily think of:
Tan Wee Kiong/Woon Khe Wei (obvious isn't it) :D
Lim Khim Wah/Ng Hui Lin (runner-up at Kedah Open winner)

MAD WD:
Goh Liu Ying/Ng Hui Lin

[badMania]

INA XD
Mohd Rijal/Greysia Polii
Tantowi Ahmad/Yulianti

INA WD
Yulianti/Richi Puspita Dili

[CLELY]

WoW, so many candidates in that above list but who has really potential to become badminton STAR for future? Well, wait and see who will regularly set the headline of this sport next.

[smartie1980]

The danish MD & MX Rasmus Bonde... 20 or 21 years old... secure a future star!

Hugs!

[Krisna]

..if she hasn't been mentioned/added, the young Saina Newhal from India to the list..;):cool:

I agree completely! Saina Nehwal has to be on the 'future stars' list! :cool: She already said that she wants to become the 2012 London Olympics WS Champ. She will be in her early 20s then... maybe 23... :) Saina have to beat Jiang Yanjiao, Wang Yihan, Wang Lin, and other future Chinese stars for that title.... Hopefully Maria Febe will be in contention too... :p [That's just my hope laaaah] But by 2012, INA shall have some other exciting WS, I can't say for sure Febe can compete against her younger rivals at that time.... :o :o

Hey, nobody put Dyonisius Hayom Rumbaka for MS... :p Well, ok... I guess he hasn't won anything big internationally until today... :p He just won the MS Kalimantan Circuit... :cool: He is 19 [I think] and already the number 10-12 MS in Indonesia by now [if PBSI actually updates their INA rankings :mad:]... By 2012, Hayom will be 23. Good age to be a contender... :D

[Krisna]

DEN MS:
Jan Ø. Jørgensen is not that old, he played Arif before in some junior tournament.. I think it's German juniors..

Raj Popat from Wales.. Hehe, he had been to INA to train in Tangkas before..

Yannie, you are the "badMania & Sandy" of Euro-badminton.... :cool: I admire your knowledge of the Euro world... :) Thanks a lot for the info. :) I hope to see Europe producing more top stars... and I hope the news that Danish badminton won't see more stars after Peter Gade will not be true... Who said that... er, was it Svend Pri [or was in Erland Kopp]... :confused:

Actually when I went to watch this junior tournament, I heard many people saying that a boy called Victor from OBK (Odense Badminton Klub) will be the next Peter Gade.. But maybe too early to predict as he's only around 14. :D

Emms-Robertson have not been fabulous this year... :o Btw, they just lost today in the 2nd round of Japan Open... :p

But Euro will always produce good XD... It is one of the showcase/glamor event for them... I also wonder who will be their next stars in this category... :confused:

I think Zulfaldi is the brightest talent from the Malaysian Juniors. At age 14, he emerged as the Division 2 singles champion(recent Kedah Open) , beating all the Malaysian U-18 juniors and perhaps some of the National backup players.

I never see him play before but remember reading somewhere in Junior player blog when he compete in Malacca circuit early this year..he was left behind 12-20 in rubber set and caught up to win 24-22,he fell on the ground after finished the matched and collapse outside the hall and almost sent to hospital but he refused to go coz he still wanna play in semis and the next 2 days he won the final.:eek:..

I forgot to add. As an unseeded player, Zulfaldi demolished 7 much older opponents, all in straight sets, to win the Division 2 singles. Imagine when he get bigger and stronger in a few years time...

There sure to be lot of distraction after he reach his teenage years where girls, “extra-curriculum” comes in and when pressure and expectation started to pill up and not to miss oout the mother of all destruction "INJURIES"… lot of young athlete drop from this point onwards.

[tommy_bun]

I thot zHU weilun is a senior player

[irishshuttler]

From Europe maybe look out for HK Vittinghus of Denmark. He got as high as 47 in world until a horrible knee injury stopped him in his tracks in Aug 07. He is number 2 to Kenneth Jonasson as Greve in their premier division and is a lovely player.
Already has 2 EBU wins under his belt and is making a return to court this Feb 08. www.hkvittinghus.blogspot.com (http://www.hkvittinghus.blogspot.com)
Oh keep an eye out for Scott Evans of Irleland too. Best prospect from this neck of the woods in a long long time and is being personally trained by the great Jim Laugesen of Denmark. www.scottevansirl.com (http://www.scottevansirl.com)

[Rubinjo]

ENG :
MS Rajiv Ouseph
Look at this :http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/draw.aspx?id=6732&draw=1
He is 1 big future star for sure!

[Smichz]

HOw about China's Chen jin?

[Antiiies]

Ok, can any of the BC members from Europe add the list of future badminton stars from Europe? Poland? Russia? Germany? Sweden? France? Spain? Italy?

How about from Africa or Australia or America? Anybody knows?

We have one big hope, who has the abillity to become a big champ. gabriel ulldahl (19years old) is he's name.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_European_Junior_Badminton_Championships

[babystar]

wow...we will have many shuttlers from europe then
that sounds good...hope they will give the big challenge

[aeida]

Saensomboonsuk Tanongsak of Thailand..
big applause to him for his effort in today's match against WCH..

[twobeer]

wow...we will have many shuttlers from europe then
that sounds good...hope they will give the big challenge

nahh.. Gabriel Ulldahl of Sweden is unlikely to be a ever reaching top 20 I would say (I hope I am wrong, but I donn't see a big potential in him)

Chen Long, China and Kenichi Tago, Japan are the biggest hope of world no.1 later as I see it.. But not all juniors can sustain the development curve.. But these two stand out as I see it!

Tago has proven that even the top players have to work hard to beat him..

Just for team Japan to hire Li Mao, to get him the last push on the senior scene :-D

i also see the potential in these 2 juniors ;)
but then long time din hear abt chen long, since last WJC

[Oldhand]

We seem to be seeing a lot of Ji Xinpeng (Gold - Sydney OG 2000) these days.
He was last seen at courtside during the infamous Korea Open MS Final

He is also high up in Li Yongbo's good books.
Wonder what that means for Chen Long who is training under Ji Xinpeng :rolleyes:

[koo_fan]

Nobody is talking about TANongsak??
that boy is something.his lost to wch is just based on experience.nothing more.

Trivia about this little guy - he brought at least 7 rackets for the game againts wch.n exchanged the rackets 3 times for 3 sets.
is he nervous or what??

No.. Lee Hock Lai was dropped a long time ago.. About one year ago..
As for rising stars, you forgot to mention:

- Daren Liew
- Chong Li Qun
- Beryno Wong
Yes , Beryno is the good one :)

[huangkwokhau]

We may see Chen Long soon....Andi Nugroho too

[koo_fan]

We may see Chen Long soon....Andi Nugroho too
Chen Long.that put my memory back to Chen Hong.

U know,malaysia press did mention Chen Hong as unknown player from china.
I know hes getting his bad time now.but to recognise this player as 'unknown'.thats quite rude.

Anw,hope Chen Long will shine.n keep shine.

[george@chongwei]

i would say the 17 years old thailand teenager Saensomboonsuk Tanongsak!!!

[tommy_bun]

my feeling says Huan Gao

[jug8man]

Jan Jorgensen of Denmark is very promising. Tanongsak, Arif, Tago and the Chinese new squad will have problems facing this guy.

[Xinguy]

I think arif will make n impact infuture...

[Kardel]

I also believe Arif will be big once he plays in the big tournaments.

[dato bun]

they are another upcoming player from finland.his name is kasper lehikoinen.16 years old.

[jhirata]

nahh.. Gabriel Ulldahl of Sweden is unlikely to be a ever reaching top 20 I would say (I hope I am wrong, but I donn't see a big potential in him)

He doesn't look like LD imop :-) .. But as I mentioned in my previous thread he is most likely a future star on the senior tour.

fully agree with twobeer ;)

Haha you know what, my friends met him before at the KLRC WJC 2007 and they're bragging about how they had a dinner with him and Tago and all that..
Not only that, but some of them even tried to be 'best friends' with Tago..
Now I can see why. :D...

im actually very surprised and shocked that u say tago is not as good as chen long and tanongsak:rolleyes::o
tago was the spore open ss 2008 quater finalist and have done quite a good archievement in many international tournament and got upsets many top players too while chen long i`ve not heard his archievement in international tournament b4:rolleyes::eek:
but i still thinks that tago is better than tanongsak.:)

hmm...china squad is full with quality player...if play in international tournament...sure is the very best player...chen jin is a proof(he is way ahead of many that same age or even older than him....)...tago need a good enviroment...he can be more better...but just not now...considering song age..he is better than tago...

anyway...just personal opinion...^^...

Kok Siang wants to be like his brother by winning a major junior tournament
By RAJES PAUL
KUALA LUMPUR: Shuttler Teo Kok Siang is determined to emulate his brother in his final year as a junior.
Ten years ago, Kok Seng partnered Chan Chong Ming to win the world junior boys' doubles title.
For Kok Siang, he has failed to land a title in his last two campaigns in major junior tournaments at the Asian and world levels.
http://thestar.com.my/archives/2008/7/18/sports/s_pg65siang.jpg Last chance: Teo Kok Siang (front) in action with Mak Hee Chun during the Asian Junior Championships yesterday.
This year, the 18-year-old Kok Siang is hoping to make a mark with his new and experienced partner Mak Hee Chun in the ongoing Asian Juniors at the Juara Stadium in Bukit Kiara here.
They are the top seeds and began their campaign yesterday with a 21-4, 21-12 win over Iraq's Mustfa Mohd-Haider Mahdi Bashah.
Kok Siang-Hee Chun have an easy path to the quarter-finals where they are expected to play against South Koreans Kim Dae-eun-Kim Ki-eung.
Kok Siang said that he switched from singles play to the doubles this year.
“I was eight when my brother won the world junior title. His win inspired me to take up the game seriously,” said the Johorean.
“I started off as a singles player and joined the BAM (Badminton Association of Malaysia) four years ago. I did not win any major junior singles titles and the coaches decided that I should try my luck in the doubles.”
He has done well thus far with Hee Chun, winning the Dutch and German junior titles.
“The challenges from the Chinese, Koreans and Indonesian pairs will be stiffer in this Asian meet. Hee Chun is a very experienced player and I will try my best to complement him,” said Kok Siang.
“This is my last chance to do well in an Asian junior tournament and I hope to go as far as possible. Hopefully, a good showing will put me on track to become a national player.”
The other Malaysian boys' doubles pair also cleared the first round yesterday. Ow Yao Han-Pang Zheng Lin beat Michiharu Kido-Ryo Takiuchi of Japan 21-19, 16-21, 21-19.

Both of this name had became elite player -- Wang Yihan & Wang Lin.
Promising star -- Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka, Ratchanok Inthanon.
Still in process to be top player someday -- Chen Long, Jan O Jorgensen.

[12dyong]

i think arif has slowed down yet chen long has been improving as well as jorgensen... I see some future in china's Wang Zhengming from guangdong. He seems to have good attacking play in terms of steepness in his smash and fast drops and his quickness to follow his smash to the net. What he has to improve is his stamina cuz he seems to get exhausted faster than his opponents. This guy is probably unknown but he was world junior champion a year ago i think and had really good chances of beating park sun hwan in the china masters. Hope he can join china national team to improve much more.

by the way how old is jorgensen?
