he he, I can't estimate better Looking the current BWF Ranking, we can't see MS Top-10 players with small physical. If he can reach Top-25 is very good. We can see Top-10 in WS but didn't see them as BWF#1 after 21 rally point's era, no "Justine Henin" in badminton.
Agree, CYK & Alamsyah have same style I watched & compared them when IO09, they have fast smash return, good defence but the different is CYK's smash harder than Alamsyah's (his physical also a few bigger).
YES! It's an all-INA Final between Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka and Alamsyah Yunus in the Australia Open GP! INA has a chance to win 2 titles too as Maria Febe Kusumastuti will entertain Yip Pui Yin tomorrow.
I don't think Alamsyah can beat Hayom. It will be 50-50 for MariaFebe and YipPY. Both have different style. Will be very interesting to watch. I got a feeling the MD and XD are going to be a one sided match, going to MAS and HK. Match of the day will be the WD. GO AUSSIE!!! GO AUNTIE ROSIE(aka Tang)!! There are going to be full house of supporters for Rosie tomorrow.
In Jakarta Open this year...Alamsyah beat Hayom in 2 set....Hayom was not patience enough to play Alam's style..even Chan yan Kit did not like to play Alam...
Yes...Chan's smash are harder but Alam has better stamina...Chan Yan Kit dislike playing against Alam due to long rallies...( in Macau Open 2008)
No no... Alam can beat Hayom... the result depends a lot on both player's execution on the particular match... Both have their own unique tools to defeat the other... Yes, Hayom was not patient enough last month. Let's see if he has learned a lesson from their last encounter... Actually, I don't know the shuttlecock speed in Australia GP. If the standard Yonex shuttlecock is used, then Hayom will have an extra edge. 'Slow shuttlecocks' will give Alam an advantage, while 'fast shuttlecocks' will benefit Hayom's power game...
I am still skeptical, due to Alamsyah's build. Actually I was quite suprised that Alamsyah beat Adit in the SF. Adit is very tall and has a lethal jump smash that he execute once in a while to gain easy point. I would have PAWed Adit to win this tourny. Not sure about the shuttlecock speed. If I am the organizer, I would use the faster speed to help the Aussie players. The two aunties cannot last 3rd set.
Maria Febe beat Yip Pui Yin in straight sets....21-18 21-19 Yeaaah..Two titles for Indonesia....:crying::crying:
Once again, players from PB Djarum return home with something, this time 2 titles in the Australian Open GP Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka wins his first GP title and hopefully this will motivate him to win bigger titles in the future! Maria Febe Kusumastuti also wins another GP title, after the Bitburger Open GP 2008. All the Djarum players will continue their journey to the New Zealand Open GP next week.
Yesss, 2 for INA!!! After New Zealand, Hayom, Febe etc. will also continue in INA Challenge... [except Andre]... Andre will play in Macau and Taipei, I heard... Bronze medal in which Olympics? Enlighten me...
