Oh did he....?? There is a myth (i dont know if we can believe this or not) saying that for top a MS player once they get married or have children they will go down the hill in terms of baddy medals. Is it true???

Maybe not a myth at all!

I suppose a subtle shift in priorities is bound to occur.

Its not myth, just some factor(s)
Because most of them who already married would focus more on their family then their career
Unlike who not getting marriage yet, they would switch partner everyday -.-

**pBmMalaysia** · 09-28-2010, 08:59 AM

not true for every married men.

once you are married you can be busy with only her

once you are not married you could be very3x busy with many hers

as for taufik maybe its a change of life style, more obligations and ties..

In the 60s and 70s, a person fooling around is called a stud. Today, we call them fools...Ohhhhh, that is dangerous

Maybe sour grapes talk, eh?

With the withdrawal of PHG due to injury, I just hope that TH wins his first MS SS title by winning the Denmark Super Series 2010 tournament. This first SS win is overdue for player of his calibre and I just wish him all the best. Go for it TH.

Tonite he'll play KT, is not an easy meat. I hope TH can win his 1st SS (well... since it was called SS)

**Babyface** · 10-29-2010, 01:00 AM

very good chance for him to get his first ss! hope he performs well

Last time taufik manage to beat tago quite easily in the thomas cup last May.

..Taufik SS title drought continues...losing in straight games to the young JO Jorgensen..

..on a good news, he will have another shot in the upcoming French Open SS..

**Yoppy** · 10-31-2010, 07:42 PM

I did not watch the match, but DAMN from the graph TH lost 6 straight points while leading the points on both sets????

**skchen** · 10-31-2010, 08:06 PM

I was very sorry to note that TH lost the 2010 Dmk SS MSF match to JOJ as he had the mid-game leads in both the 2 games but somehow he surrendered the leads to the aggresive JOJ who went on to win 21-19, 21-19. It was a good match indeed.
The commentator said that somehow, TH seemed to have a 'mental block' with regards to winning a SS MS title and I just hope that the wait would not be prolonged. Come on TH, you can do it.

**miksss** · 10-31-2010, 08:11 PM

TH is runner up specialist

Haha.. if he reaches runner up for every event he takes part in, he will probably have more points than LCW. Too bad he's not that consistent.

I did not watch the match but was also disappointed at the scoreline. The 1+hr 3-setter in SF might have its toll on TH. What to do, TH is getting older while his younger competitors are getting better.

**Babyface** · 10-31-2010, 09:45 PM

dissapointing result... i was really hoping TH would get his first SS .. however, like the someone said above, i think there's a mental block... oh well...
