I think he can do a lot better if his fitness improves.
His skills is very good already

..erm, he could (because of his age), but imo, i think he's reached his peak..partly of his inconsistent game tactic..he lost to Sho Sasaki in the TC Semis Rd. event>>>my goodness!!..

Yeah simon got may improve..
since 2009..

Simon needs to improve his fitness, as well as having winning spirit bigger than his opponent.
At TC Final, IMO he lost to CJ mainly due to lack of winning spirit, after the referee did not put CJ on foul.

..not only at the TC Final...did you notice his loss vs. Sho Sasaki in the TC Semis??..even Hau-ge shifted from his regular VIP seat to one far away from the action after Simon lost..

**Licin** · 06-04-2010, 10:54 PM

Who is Hau-ge?

Oh yeah, his lost to Sho Sasaki at TC semi's, in my opinion he lacks of patience and i feel that he can't match well the pace of sho sasaki. Furthermore sho sasaki is better in smash's power.
what do you think?
The lost of Simon against sho sasaki is indeed should not happen. Given the pressure is on sho sasaki since INA leads 2-0 already.

Who is Hau-ge?..check out the 2010 BC get-together thread..

As for my opinion on Simon and the match, check out my post #172..

As expected, Simon Santoso won the 2010 Chinese Taipei MS title beating Shon Wan Ho convincingly, 21-14, 21-11, in 39 minutes.
With this win, I think SS is the the best INA men's singles player and is equal in skills to CJ and BCL.
He would be a tad lower than LD and LCW.
I hopes SS continues to do well and bag more titles.

But fortunately there is no any SS or GPG tourney in February. He can rest well. But there is Ina Super League in February. Hopefully the injure is not too serious

I hope Li Mao can impart some winning tips to SS. If Li Mao were in Korea as his coach in his SF clash against LD, who knows what might have happened

How is the prize money like for INA Super League?
I think SS will pocket around Usd15k to 20k for reaching the KO SF.

As i read in the news, Men team winner got RP.350 million, Women team winner got RP.275 million. And i think PB.Tangkas very need Simon to join the squad unless they got any top foreign players to join the squad.
