Watched 2001 WC Hendrawan - Gade again, Hendrawan's net play is just out of this world. I am wondering did he and Taufik ever met? Who won?
Yes, Taufik and Hendrawan met in the match before Hendrawan played Peter Gade. Taufik was ahead something like 7-1 in the third game against hendrawan when Taufik pulled a groin muscle and hendrawan went on to the final.
The video I have is the DVD I bought from Han. I think it is kind of unfair to Han if I make a file and upload... If I can find the video from some other sources, I will upload.
Oh... Did you watch that game? I am just wondering how would Taufik deal with Hendrawan's deceptions. Gade looked like a fool for so many times, especially in the 1st game.
http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNDkzODkwODA=.html Taufik was destroying Hendrawan!!! 7-1 up in the 3rd set... then got injured.... so sad!! What an amazing player he was... Taufik... unbelievable... really sad... he was crying after the match
before the 2001 WC Semi Final, taufik met Hendrawan at 1999 Indonesia Open SF in Bali...on his way to win his very first or many Indonesia Open titles.....taufik outclassed hendrawan....when playing taufik..hendrawan played different game...he played so fast..and his nets shots are not impressive...probably that was because of taufik's age which determine his speed...not sure..but certainly he was outclassed by taufik (straight sets)..and taufik beat Budi Santoso in the final also straight sets..i have the video in VHS format...not sure how to upload them.. In 2001 WC SF, taufik played so well...if he was not injured...taufik will surely be in the final ..taufik injured his hamstring at that time....he was so upset and could see him crying..when he shook hand with hendrawan...hendrawan even helped him to carry his rackets bag.....i have also the video in VHS format...not sure how to convert them... I have also videos of Indonesia Open 1999 MDF between Tony Gunawan/Candra Wijaya vs Ricky/Rexy....good match...ricky/rexy won 2001 WC MDSF ..tony/halim vs chan chong ming/chew choon eng...i have all of them but they are all in vhs.....
