**Gladius** · 10-01-2001, 04:44 AM

Well I have, though I have never watched them before with the exception of Yang Yang that is.

MS: Peter Gade has everything but not best in one. I like the way Hendrawan play, however, I feel that he needed more power, even that since he was younger. Now I like Xia,remind me of Michael Jordan,when I saw his FADE AWAY SMASH.

MD: Tony and Jandra are the best. Have you seen Pramote from Thailand, the way he place the shuttle.

LS: Ruina if more consistency.

This has nothing to do with fav players but I juz wanna say that Tony Gunawan's decision to quit is depressing. The term in US starts in Fall (August or September) so I hope he'll at least play his last Thomas Cup for INA next year, although it doesn't seem very viable from the looks of it.

What a depressing way to end two depressing days. And I was just thinking tt things may be looking up a bit. I'm so sad.

The best single player - Zhao Jian Hua
The best double player - Park Joo Bong

Very powerful, but somehow need to control his temper in the game.

For me, Yang yang and Gong Zhichao are the best.

basically everything indonesian! =P

**Yogi** · 10-26-2002, 10:52 PM

MS - Peter gader for his style and intensity, Hendrawan adn Obviously Gopi as i have had the oppurtunity to see him in action straight! So my view abt gopi would be very biased but still...

MD Tony Gunawan

LS Susi and Gong..

Gong is just the prefect example for someone who wants to learn how to move in court! she does it like iceskating... Susi and gong are pretty small but yet...

"Best things come in small packages" is so true in Ladies Singles...

**marshall** · 10-26-2002, 11:53 PM

MS Peter Gade, Hendrawan
LS Susi, GZC Susi make it look so easy, Gong shows it's hard, but she plays 120%
MD Tony Gunawan, Candra, Sigit, Ha Tae Kwon (becasue he's such a wild man), Yap Kim Hock
LD Ge Fei/Gu Jun
XD Kim Dong Moon/ Ra Kyun Min

**Phil** · 10-27-2002, 05:55 PM

MD: Lee Dong Soo & Yoo Yung Sung (KOR) - These two are hilarious to watch on court.

My all-time favourite (styles):-

MS: (Strong control players)
(1) Icuk Sugiarto
(2) Luis Ponggoh
(3) Xiong Guobao
(4) Hendrawan

MD: (Intelligent pairs)
(1) Rexy Mainaky*/Ricky Subagiah
(2) Cheah Soon Kit*/Soo Beng Kiang
(3) Tony Gunawan*/Candra Wijaya

(*) denote the "brains" in the pairing.

**Loh** · 10-27-2002, 10:17 PM

I suppose I'm of Bbn's era as I have seen all the players he's mentioned and I agree with all his choices, especially the great Rudy Hartono , Tjun Tjun and Li Ling Wei. However, I would like to add Peter Gade for MS and Park Joo Bong for MD and XD to the list. Ge Fei should make it for LD.

**Tezta.com** · 10-27-2002, 10:42 PM

MS:Taufik(new) Zhao Jian Hua(old)
WS: Susi
MD:Tri Kush Haryanto (he should work in the circus with all those acrobatic movements) or Tony G
WD: I love womens doubles so much i don't know who to choose

MXD: Kim dong moon. One of the smartest Mixed player i have ever seen.

***Mag*** · 10-28-2002, 02:58 AM

Not only results count I think, but also style, character, charisma etc. A lot of people seem to have confused "favourite players" for "best players" which I think isn't the same thing at all.

MS: Peter Rasmussen (for the beautiful footwork, the amazing jump smashes, and for his calm attitude on court)

LS: Camilla (for being the John McEnroe of badminton), Mia Audina (for beating both Mother Nature and gravity)

MD: Jens Eriksen (for being such a bad-ass), Sigit Budiarto (for never playing safe), Ha Tae Kwon (for being such an entertainer)

LD: Helene Kirkegaard (for showing that the LD can be every bit as fast and hard as MD)

MX: Michael Søgaard (for aiming for a WC title at 34)
