He need more exposure to international tourneys. He was relatively late to start his SS and GP level journey, but I still put my hope on him
I also still put my hope on him i dont know, my mind always said that he will be the next star. I hope he can prove that my mind is right
Despite having lost to Tommy in the selection, Hayom is selected in the TC team 2010. This shows that INA national coaches think highly of Hayom, there must be some potential.
in selection, it's just for TC qualification.after selection, of course, pbsi chose tommy as 4th MS in TC qualification. after that, Hayom shows that he is better than Tommy espescially in training. because of that, Coach Agus choose Hayom for TC final
i dont think he will play double.the coach said it just fullfil one of BWF's rule.i forget where i read this.but i'm sure what i say
Note: around 3 weeks after the TC qualification selection, Hayom defeated Tommy in the INA National Championships in 2 straight games... Techically, physically, etc. Hayom is superior over Tommy.... That will only happen in order to confuse the opponents... Hayom-Alvent maybe?!? Heck, even INA fans will be confused if Hayom plays doubles...
Sunday May 2, 2010 Dionysius is the player to watch in Finals, says Choong Hann KUALA LUMPUR: Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka’s name may be quite a tongue twister. But according to veteran Wong Choong Hann, badminton fans had better get used to pronouncing it because the Indonesian youngster is set to be one of the bright stars to watch out for at this year’s Thomas Cup Finals, which will be held at Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil from May 9-16. Dionysius, the world number 26, is the reserve player in the Indonesian squad. The others are regulars Taufik Hidayat, Sony Dwi Kuncoro and Simon Santoso. He was selected ahead of Tommy Sugiarto and it could be due to his fighting performance against Chen Jin of China before bowing out 16-21, 21-19, 20-22 in the opening round of the All-England in Birmingham in March. Tommy, who is son of the legendary Icuk, did not make the cut despite having had the experience of being the reserve in the squad at the last edition in Jakarta two years ago. Choong Hann, who will play in the second singles for Malaysia, said that Dionysius had all the qualities needed to go far in the game. “Having played so long, players like me can spot those with talent and I am convinced that there is something special about Dionysius. He is skilful and I have not seen one like him for some time,” said Choong Hann. “He has a certain quality in him that sets him apart from several youngsters who have come through the pipeline in Indonesia.” Besides Dionysius, Choong Hann also expects Japan’s Kenichi Tago, Denmark’s Jan O Jorgensen and Shon Wan-ho of South Korea and China’s Chen Long to take over the mantle from the seasoned campaigners. “Some of the senior players have been recalled to play for their respective countries in the Finals. But this does not mean the current youngsters are not good enough but they are just going through a transition process now,” he said. “The 21-point rally scoring format has allowed players like me to stay longer than we ought to. But I am confident a new era of players is just waiting to take over.”
Interesting that WCH thinks it is the scoring system that has enabled older players to keep going longer. I think he is being polite, if the older players weren't any good the young player would have already took over. Anyway I agree with him on Rumbaka & shon wan-ho (how old is shon?)
I dont know Everytime when i saw Hayom play he is a talented and charismatic at court. Keep your spirit Hayom!
Hayom next tournaments, SIN & INA SS. In Singapore, he has tough draw. Barring any upsets, he will take on top-seed Lee Chong Wei at R/16.
Gambateh hayom..! INA have good regeneration at MS,since the bad form of taufik,INA produce sony and simon,and hayom is the third generation.. INA not only depend to 1 MS. haha..
