Andre Kurniawan Tedjono

**kidosetiawan** · 05-10-2007, 09:19 AM

Anyone has heard of Andre Kurniawan Tedjono??? I looked at this guy in Indo open...he came all the way from qualifiers!......first came Roman Spitko.....I thought this guy won't be able to handle it...then to my surprise he beat Roman Spitko....then comes Andrew Smith...this is wat makes me so happy!! I mean Andre Kurniawan is not even regarded as the Indo 4th singles cos the spot belongs to Tommy while ANdrew Smith is England no 1 and again this guy beat him.......then comes Kenneth Jonassen Danish second singles....again this guy beat him....now he is playing Chen Hong if he can beat Chen Hong and LCW then Indonesia has a bright future!!! I mean Simon Santoso is fast improving......being a 3rd single.....SOny is gaining his touch back and Taufik is unquestionable............so who is this guy?? Anyone knows about this guy???

**yannie** · 05-10-2007, 10:21 AM

He's 20 years old, from PB Djarum.

**yannie** · 05-10-2007, 10:31 AM

**kidosetiawan** · 05-10-2007, 10:50 AM

So he is younger than Simon?????? or are they the same age....can anyone tell me about his technical artibute.......who is this guy?? I mean wats his speacility?? is he capable to play in World level?? who is better him or Tomy Sugiarto?? based on performance I think he is better cos he beat more senior players like Andrew SMith, Kenneth Jonassen and Roman SPitko

..wow, seriously?!?!?!...hmm, gotta catch up with the IO thread...that's a pretty good upset there..

...maybe this tournament, Indonesian National championships, 2 yrs ago...I assume that's him, but now with the added last name...It's still early, but looks like he's pretty legit as he won over Fauzi Adnan, another Pelatnas player, in MS...

...he's not young anymore, well, at least he's most likely over 20 yrs. old...That was 5 yrs ago and he hasn't made much marks yet, internationally, if at all..

He is 20 years old now..
But yeah, maybe this year is Andre's break-through year.. or maybe this tournament (Indo Open)..

**kidosetiawan** · 05-10-2007, 12:34 PM

YES. I am sure he is twenty years old. His birthday on December 7th 1986.

**kidosetiawan** · 05-10-2007, 12:42 PM

Thanx for the info...Yes Indonesia now has hope...imagine

Taufik
Sony (getting there)
Simon (fastly Improving)
Tomy (doubtful but steady)
Andre (Giant Killer)

I hope this will lead us back to the era of Alan Budikusuma, Heryanto Arbi and all

If Andre, SImon and Sony keeps improving I think Indo has the chance to win the Thomas Cup next yr and with home crowd.....

Indonesia Iya Sih!!!!!

..1 upset doesn't give Andre K. a nickname of "Andre the Giant Killer"..

Don't get me wrong, it's a very good win, but reality is, the only MS player which INA have, that they can rely on, is Taufik...Until any of those other players(2 of them are pretty much veterans) start to win consistently, even start winning over Taufik, i personally would reserve any "long term" hope of them being the next ABKusuma, HArbi etc...

**volcom** · 05-10-2007, 01:18 PM

He does kind of look like Chen Hong

Giant Killer? it is overrated...if he can beat Chen Hong tonight then LCW....then we call him " pembunuh raksasa"...not now...
