Taufik, Liliyana Pull Out of Sudirman Cup Squad

Ami Afriatni | May 18, 2011

The Indonesian Badminton Association on Wednesday said it respected Taufik Hidayat’s decision not to play in next week’s Sudirman Cup after the men’s singles shuttler was called up for the national team to boost its ranking in the tournament.

Hadi Nasri, head of the athletes’ development at the association, also known as PBSI, said Taufik’s name was included in the Indonesia roster to get a better seeding in the tournament, which will be held in Qingdao, China on May 22-30.

“We had an agreement that we would name him to the squad for seeding purposes, while we would let him decide whether to play or not,” Hadi told the Jakarta Globe.

“He decided not to play and we respect his decision.”

Taufik said on Tuesday that he withdrew from the Cup because he believed “a younger shuttler was more deserving of his slot.”

“I think this is the right time for the younger generation to have a bigger role in representing our country in major international tournaments,” he said.

Problem seems, the younger shuttlers are not very eager to take his place!!

with all due respect to taufik, imo its a good decision to withdraw from the tournament. He had criticized PBSI publicly before for not bringing up younger generation players to carry the traditionally strong INA badminton squad. Now that PBSI gathered a bunch of young talents it only fits for him to step down and really give the youngsters chances to gain experience and prove themselves on the international stage.

Yes good decision by TH. I was already wondering why he was still on the list.

Because for the rest, the way things are just now, you may as well just toss a coin...

After watch SS defeated by PG at Sudirman Cup 2011 and then Sony DK still injury, i think a TH still be required in INA squad for OG 2012.
In fact, until now no one is looking or be indication can replace TH even SS. Maybe SS is younger than TH but not into category young player. Be caused Simon Santono is 26 years old now.

I wonder how Li Mao is faring with his coaching job in Indonesia.
I have not seen him at tournaments where Ina players have played, till now.

I asked that question many times too. All we got for an answer is LM is on leave in China
I don't want to speculate but to me thats a bit strange

let's hope the Indonesian Juniors do their best in this year to catch up with Taufik's performance.. otherwise, i think it's still better to just sent him, although it will be difficult if Taufik is against LCW or LD..

Taufik 'upset' over Indonesia badminton slump

AFP, Thu Jun 9, 4:14 am ET

JAKARTA (AFP) – Ex-Olympic badminton champion Taufik Hidayat has slammed Indonesia's men over their dire showing at the Sudirman Cup, with one top official to call for an "urgent" fix, a report said Thursday.

An angry Taufik lashed out after the men managed just one singles win at the world mixed-teams championship held last month in China, only a year away from the 2012 London Olympics.

"The young players did not show the fighting spirit during the Sudirman Cup, and I?m upset," Taufik said, according to the Jakarta Globe.

"Can you tell me which Indonesian is in the top 10 ranking besides me? I really hope somebody can replace me once the Olympics come along."

Taufik skill and game plan is still the best. Look at how the young Chen Yuekun simply had no answer. You have to possess good speed and power to defeat Taufik, not with skills.

hidayat as the no.1 seed in LiNing SO 2011, has been defeated by Wang ZhengMing (non seeded player) .. a bad start before Indonesia Premier SS
really, compared to Gade as another veteran yet even older than him, his consistency is too dissappointing
while he's showing generous support for his junior, I hope he still display a true fighting spirit that'll inspire his junior even further
