Who's the best player at the net?

**narnia** · 10-08-2008, 05:03 AM

LYD got his first Gold Medal in Olympics at the age 19!
Thant proves all if you understand the man's role in XD.

This year, Kido/Setiawan lost all(two times) to JJS/LYD in very important games, AE and TC, so Kido/Setiawan must know how they are strong.

Unfortunately, if the rumours that Jung Jae Sung is called up to the army is true, then Lee Yong Dae might have a new partner

But, the good news and the facts are: Kido/Hendra are the reigning World Champion, Olympics Gold Medallist, and the World No 1 in Men's Doubles

It reminds me of Korean saying - "Where the tiger is away from the forest, a fox prevails..."

Unfortunately, JJS will be in with LYD. From October 11th, they participate in the National Sports Festival representing their hometowns respectively(LYD with his old-partner Cho Gun Woo, JJS with another guy, Huh Hoon Hoi). So you can't yet see them in Europe.

sorry cooler, but for amazing shots, check this out.....

i have no doubt that sigit has best ability to make trickshots but this thread is about best frontman in MD. To add, trickshots r just eye candy but often not effective. Tony G. make money shots and shots that turn the table around, ex. like from being defensive back to offensive, this is much more important in a rally than trickshot. One off trickshots here and there are cool looking but often don't have the payback.

Today's Best Frontman is LYD, Definate, Approved!

Hendra is following right behind him...
The others including Tony Gunawan are quite old uncles.

That's messed up analogy. LYD/JJS got beat twice by BC Resident double specialist (JR/LP) in TC and OG. Which in turn got beat by MK/HS in OG. So what does that tell you then?

correction, MK/HS lost in swiss open not all england
i think its too early to say that LYD is the best front man player...he hasnt won anything major yet...sure he's won AE but i personally think all england's prestige has dropped since it became a super series tournament...
Tony Gunawan has proven himself to be the best doubles player in the world...even rexy says so...the current LYD cannot be compared to TG in mens doubles, but in mixed LYD's got the edge

**ctjcad** · 10-22-2008, 01:41 PM

...

.. But since this thread is all about and encompassing only the Men's Doubles field, then yeah, Tony has the (big) edge over LYD, in terms of major accomplishments..
