On Peter Gade's site, petergade.net, there is a section where he rates the other top-class MS players in areas such as skill, mental, stamina, speed, etc. Kind of interesting to read his descriptions of how he plays against them.
I'm not surprised that he rates 5 for Hendrawan's net play. This net play was the one that defeated Peter Gade in World Championship final. There were more than 10 occassions during the final match where the shuttle hits the top of the net and flip over Peter's side.
You can tell from the statistics: 3-2 against Hendrawan, 3-1 vs. Taufik, 4-1 vs. Ji Xinpeng, 2-1 vs. Chen Hong, 4-3 vs. Roslin, 2-2 vs. Xia. He rates himself the best I guess
ji beats him at least twice. where did you get the statistics? i know for sure ji xinpeng beat him at least twice already, one time is the all england 2000 in the quarter final but lost to his teamate xia in the semi final, another time is the olympic 2000. the only person would know the record best is petergade himself, so it would be nice if he posts his wins and losts against the top 10 players in present and past.
Re: ji beats him at least twice. go to www.petergade.net and click on players. and then click on individual player. In the table, you'll see the score that shows the statistics.
