Any idea why gopichand is missing from both the dutch and the denmark open ?

Is he injured again?

 

gopichand injured...

I heard he was hurting most of the year and looks like he had some kinda surgery after the singapore open and hopes to be back Feb-March 2003 - shoot thats a long layoff - wonder if hes gonna play in World championships in Birmingham ?

without him Indian Badminton is in a really sorry state, internationally
