Indonesia famous athletes, 1986 China open women's doubles champion. But i can't tell them who is who .Who is IVANA LIE,who is VERESWATI ?
^^Hmm, must be...^^ ..(just a very wild guess, as i have no clue whatsoever) a couple of the young up and coming INA junior pairs??..hehe Btw, the guy on the right(white t-shirt), in the bottom pic, at least to me, looks a bit like Gresyia Polii, with those eyebrows and glance..
Yannie, The first photo is of Fran Kurniawan and Rendra Wijaya. The second one is of Yoga and Yoke Suryatama... All four are around 20 - 22 years old. Talent wise... they are as talented as the top 10 players... but they are not there yet... Still need a lot to improve in terms of gamesmanship... Maybe they will mature later like Luluk and Alven, who matured as good top players when they're 23 - 25...
anybody have Denny Kantono/Budi Ariantho Antonius 's foto? Denny Kantono/Budi Ariantho Antonius won 1998 WORLD GRAND PRIX MD champion.
Thank you thank you... In the coming months we will see the youngsters in action. Hopefully their career can take off... Talented Malaysians of their generation [KKK-TBH] have already made their mark. Lee Yong Dae of Korea is even younger. He impressed many people here in Indonesia. We respect his talent too. Anyway, the four Indonesian youngsters that we saw in the pictures have Olympic potential. Yoga, Yoke will have to do better than being ranked in the 30s [like today]. Fran will partner with Sigit under the PB Djarum banner and will appear in the international scene again soon. Surely Sigit is a better player than Rendra, so we shall see their results. I don't know exactly what they will do with Rendra. The National Team have to pair him up with someone... Bona or Septano or Subakti or Fernando or Tantowi or Lingga... somebody...
Oh I see. Yup their rankings are quite low, but Yoga/Yoke is number 5 MD pair in Indonesia, right? Which club did Rendra come from? And are Bona/Septano/Subakti/Fernando/Tantowi/Lingga in the same age group 20-22 y.o.? Heard some of their names before.. How about Titon Gustaman? Still in the national team?
According to their world ranking, yes. Yoga and Yoke are the number 5 MD pair from Indonesia. After Kido-Hendra, Luluk-Alven, Rian-Eng Hian, Joko-Hendra AG, then Yoga-Yoke. Well... number 6 if you include Tony-Chandra... =p Ha ha ha... If they are not careful, they might be number 7 once Sigit - Fran start gaining some world ranking points... Rendra, Bona, and Septano are from PB Jaya Raya. Bona and Septano are 19-20... [I think] Subakti - Fernando [18-19 years old], Tantowi - Lingga [20-21 years old], and Titon are all from PB Djarum. Titon is not in the National Team anymore. He is practicing with PB Djarum again.
The MD competition in Indonesia is quite tough eh? We surely still rival China, Malaysia, and Denmark in terms of numbers of tough pairs...
Thanks Krisna for the infos. MD rival is tough in Malaysia and Indonesia. But China? Beside Cai/Fu, the only youngster pair who has potential is Shen Ye/He Hanbin - currently ranked #23. Don't know if Zhang Wei is still playing with Xu Chen, but both players are not sent to that many tournaments. Now it seems that China wants a new partnership between Zheng Bo and Guo Zhendong, hope they will show good results at the upcoming European touranments - Austrian International etc.
Yeah it is true that China only have Cai-Fu right now [and even THEY are not performing so well in the past 3 months]... But I am sure Li Yongbo will think of something soon. I fully expect China to have at least 3 competitive MD this year...
Woow, Krisna, you know a lot.. Thanks.. Hahaha.. Yeaah, Rendra should be in Pb Jaya Raya, since his bro's there... And Frans will be plyg with Mas Sigit ltr on, their first 'debut' may be the Aviva Open, Mas Sigit told me.. But, still no confirmed yet.. Haha.. Let's pray for their performance.. ^O^
