Name: Maria Febe Kusumastuti
Birth date: 30 Sep 1989 (21 y.o)
Current ranking: 23

Febe ever beat some big names like Wang Shixian,Yip Pui Yin,Pi Hongyan,Eriko Hirose,Wang Lin.
She also crowned Bitburger Open 2008,Australia GP 2009.

From what i saw..she has improved much in her attacking play,so good and light footwork.

..quite a few amazing rallies; the one at 13-10 was wonderful; they way they play is reminiscent of the Susi Susanti era; i guess both players are not tall thus they have to skirt and cover a lot of grounds..Ratchanok is a delight to watch..

Febe of Djarum defeated Denke (Putri) of Tangkas today... That put Djarum ahead 2-1 in the team competition... Later, Fran-Ahsan finished off Nova-Devin and made Djarum the INA National Champion of 2010...

Maria has good skills but Ratchanok is one hell of a gutsy lady, never say die attitude..many top players esp CHN will find her a tough
player to beat

Febe defeated Susi Susanti 30-26 in the Bulutangkis Peduli Merapi event in Solo last Sunday... Susi led 7-2 or something early on... later on, however... Susi's pristine skills could not compensate for physical training... Susi's face became red and she often took breaks to drink water. She is almost 40 (in 2 months), after all....

from this result,seems like Febe still yoyo-ing,
overall,i think her result in 2009 is still better than 2010..
in 2009 she won Yonex Australian Open Grand Prix,runner up New Zealand Open Grand Prix 2009,and also beat Yippy,Eriko,Pi Hongyan,Cheng Shao Chieh.

hope she will more consistent in 2011
im so sure with her skill,she can do much better than this
