Tantowi should be a good replacement for Nova widianto

btw, anyone knows if NW 'officially' retire already?

i am afraid u have to wait until maybe after end of next year..

**george@chongwei** · 08-03-2010, 10:35 AM

Why is that so? Then how come i didn't see Nova Widianto plays in international tournament already?

**ctjcad** · 08-04-2010, 05:48 PM

..from what i've read in this forum, Nova's last appearance will be after the AG this yr...but then, knowing the INA squad habit of calling their veteran players back to help the national team, who knows, we might still see him compete til next yr..

Nova Widianto is only playing with Liliyana Natsir in selected SS-level tourneys (4 SS already this year) plus the World Championships and Asian Games. Meanwhile, Liliyana will be partnered with Tantowi Ahmad in GP Gold and hopefully some SS tourneys till end of this year.

for next year i hope tantowi will partner natsir for whole tournament..nova guide some younger player..nova still have the aura of world class player XD

**drquick** · 08-05-2010, 05:47 PM

tantowi/lilyana will face the LYD/LHJ in the QF. The Olympic champion not in their best perform yet but i it won't be easy for the indonesian i think. would be a good test for tanto & lily to become the world class XD in the future. hopefully they can pass the test well

is Nova will definetly quite Pelatnas after AG this year ??? will he be a pro player or he set up for retirement ??

**badMania** · 08-12-2010, 05:52 PM

For that, we just have to wait and see. But I will think Liliyana Natsir will certainly have to move on as the Olympics qualifying period is next year.

Nova can stay and guide the younger players (like what Flandy did for quite some time) before he eventually left Pelatnas.

**Smichz** · 08-13-2010, 01:29 PM

I know tantowi will be doing good internationally after i saw him played the first time in surabaya.He is just outclassed the other pelatnas pairs.Hopefully natsir will do her best with him.Just felt that natsir made so many unforced errors in the past couple of matches when she was still pairing with nova..
