It is difficult to match top pairs without the backing of the National Association. My advise is that they should concentrate on Grand Prix level tournaments, that way they could earn some bucks and improve their ranking.

After a few more wins then maybe they could try for the higher level. It is difficult since they have to find their on funding. So they should play mostly around Asia.

They still have at least 3 years of good badminton in them.

Agreed! I really hope they focus on winning GP Gold more frequently. So we can see how consistent are they. If they can only win, say, 3 GP Gold in a year, maybe then they should think about SS. IMO, they should focus on consistency now.

On the personal front, it's been reported in the press that Zakry just got married, one day after LCW's wedding. Zakry said he & his wife already decided on that date sometime ago, before LCW announced his, so happen they chose the same weekend- could be because that's the weekend there's a break from tournaments. As I recall Zakry been engaged to the girl for 2 to 3 years
He is taking a short break from badminton, perhaps for honeymoon. I saw in the Macau Open list Fairuz will be partnering Vountus

Ha ha ha - Just name how many professional Badminton players happen to have their wedding days on the same day of the year.

I would say that: "It's a 1-in-52 chance".

Why? Because there are only 52 weekends in a year.
