Germany: Xu Huai Wen Indonesia WS: Maria Kristin Firdasari Pia zebadiah Fransisca ratnasari Aprilia MS: Sony Simon Tommy Alamsyah Indra Bagus Not sure about TH and Aditya MD: Joko/Hendra Ahsan/Bona Lingga/Fernando No confirmation yet about Markis/Hendra, Rian/Yoke and Luluk/Alvent WD and XD Still needs some confirmation . Djarum does not send any players to taipeh. Malaysia Been told in MD, MAS will send young pairs only.... Singapore Eng Hian confirms that they may not send WD,MD and XD to Taipeh, again it will depend on the budget ...
Isn't TH going to retire after the Beijing Olympics 2008 ? . Correct me if I am wrong... Didn't TH say that he would retire after the Beijing Olympics 2008 ? .
Do you believe what he said?...he has a contract with Yonex...I do not know how many tournaments keft he has to attend but I am sure he may go to Japan. TH has a good contract from Yonex.... Since TH and Aditya are coached by Mulyono,thats why I do not know their schedule.....
INA WD: All new combination, cant wait to see their actions: Greys/Nitya Jo Novita/Rani Lita/Endang Nathalia/Nadia INA XD: Anggun/Endang Lita/Devin Tantowi/Yulianti Greys/Rizal (?) Vita/Lyliana is not going to Taipeh Open, more likely to Japan and China Open.
Ow, I see. Thank you. Now let's see what kind of obstacles are awaiting them all. China, Korea, Malaysia, ROC, Europe countries, all send their strongest team?
Malaysia may send youn ger MD pairs to Taipeh. Will be less Europeans after OG as well as lack of funding... I know a ,lot of Europeans prefer to play Bulgarian GP, Dutch GP, Luxemburg GP and Begium Challenge.....
Lack of available girls to pick, perhaps? I mean, do you have any better idea of who'll be paired with who?
well..not really...as Lita is a bit " tanggung" in my opinion...she does not smash well and cant defend well either... For sure..Yulianti/Nathalia is not as good as before....Nadia is good double player but pairing with Nathalia remains to be seen... They should have registered those new combo to Indonesia Challenge but PBSI did not do that...at least to see how lethal new combo will be...Meiliana/Shendy will be in Surabaya Challenge...I guess only Junior pairs will be there.
Was thinking this myself- cant wait. Hmmm. and just curious, I don't think robertson will be attending jap/tai open (usual) but does anyone have any info on his new partner?
Entries from Denmark: MS: Hans-Kristian Vittinghus MD: Boe/Mogensen MX: Fischer/Pedersen Noone in WS and WD.
I hope Malaysia will send the younger players to the tournament...it will be exciting to see their progress
And they will meet our players, unfortunately. Yes, Joko/Hendra are not that young anymore, but the rests are our 2012 hope!
hihi.. is there any latest news of the entry list? the chinese taipei badminton association's website seems doesn't work will china come?
I think most of the top players will take a break and skip TO,.....they will take part in coming JO instead...
