AE withdrawal

[huangkwokhau]

I have been informed that Ronald Susilo is not playing so Lu Yi will take up his place...so TH vs Lu Yi ( not confirmed)

[Alaric]

Is TH still playing or has he pulled out too? :p

[huangkwokhau]

:D:D Nope...he will be playing..........I saw him training hard 3 weeks ago in Jakarta

[george@chongwei]

wow, ronald susilo pulled out in this big tournament..
i think he is training very hard at singapore and wants to aim the olyimpics...:p

[winnie]

he still havent recover from his injury yet? he was named for the thomas cup qualifier but then din see him play any matches oso.. i kinda miss him...

I really don't know what's happening to RS! He didn't even play in the TC preliminaries. Can somebody enlighten? I hope he is still training for the Beijing Olympics, but without international matches to fine tune his performance, there is not much hope that he could survive even the first round. Or is he still beset with injuries? :rolleyes:

Or is the SBA earmarking Kendrick for the BO and allow him to collect more ranking points to qualify ahead of RS, since Singapore could only send one player at best?

I'm really disappointed! :(

[Dreamzz]

that doesn't make sense. it's not like SBA doesn't have enough funds to send both players. also, i don't think they'll get in each other's way too much, except by an unlikely coincidence if they are drawn together.

is he injured?

[madbad]

Injury sounds like the most plausible explanation for RS's withdrawal.

[badders7]

Peter Gade has also withdrawn, so Andrew Dabeka gets a spot in the main draw.

Ronald is not 100% recovered yet....he did big operation back in January ( I believe)

[huangkwokhau]

So either Andrew or Lu Yi will play against TH....I am still waiting last min ute withdrawal

[madbad]

So, what is PG's reason for his withdrawal? Andrew Debeka is one lucky Canuck as I did not see him making it out of qualifying.

[badders7]

Peter Gade is still trying to recover from illness which has bothered him ever since Copenhagen Masters.

[huangkwokhau]

But he did participate the TC qualifying though..............

[madbad]

DEN super spy Yannie should find out about PG's status and report back to us;):D

[huangkwokhau]

It is official that Taufik Hidayat vs Andrew Dabeka, not Lu Yi...

[badders7]

But he did participate the TC qualifying though..............Yes so he did. He also took part in Korea Super Series. Both of these events was being played with illness(pneumonia) and a broken rib. He needed the ranking points, but can no longer afford to take chances with his health. Now he needs to recover fully and get into a more stabil period of training as there is a lot of important things comming up. European Championships, Thomas Cup finals, Olympics...

At least that is what the media here in Denmark says!

Apart from that, withdrawing from All England wont mean too much to his ranking as he lost in the 1st round last year. If he chooses not to play Swiss its a different story as he went all the way to the semis last year.

[huangkwokhau]

Also few Thai players also withdrew...They did not tell me the name... Boonsak is still in..........I guess either women single ( qualifying ones) or double players withdrew......

[Dreamzz]

wow, that's too bad.
i don't think it'll be long before PG stops playing.

[badadum]

PG's spot for the Olympic should be safe. I can't fathom Joachim Persson being able to overtakes him in Olympic points.

[madbad]

It always sucks when top players have to withdraw from any tournament let alone an elite one

[george@chongwei]

what??
PG ALSO WITHDREW...
TH 1st ROUND opponent SHUD BE VERY EASY

[abedeng]

Wow, that's bad. Gade is always a top draw in any competition.

[badMania]

I am almost pretty sure that Taufik Hidayat will meet Lee Chong Wei in one of the highly-anticipated match in the QF.

[azabaz_ipoh]

peter is not playing? :crying: i like his playing style. would miss him this AE. hope he gets better though. OG is coming up. wouldn't want to miss him there too.

[ye333]

How can you be so sure? It's not impossible that TH lose to Lu Yi, although less possible that LD lose to PSH. :D
