    wow..I am glad that Mel/Shendy won....very critical to win as they need confident as they have not played well in last 6 months...Shendy is actually more talented than Mel but she is not focus and no fight during matches....being in final in XD and WD , Shendy has proved her better attitude of winning....

    Deni Kantono [a.k.a. Chen Yuming] has returned to PB. Djarum after an absence of 2 years from coaching [to help grow his trading business]. Deni now was charged with all the WD squad since early this year, I think... Mel-Shendy are his top elite pupils, of course... ;)

    I remembered I first saw her play was during the Cheers Asian Satellite, when she was still in Pelatnas, partnering Devi Tika Permatasari. She's really tall for an INA gal :eek::eek:

    Yes, Antonius is directly in charge of the adult MD [Rian-Yoke-Fran-Rendra-Wifqi-Alfiat-Rizky-Albert] From what I heard, Sigit Budiarto is doing a good job teaching the under-19 and under-16 MD team... :D I heard people say that when Sigit teaches, he reminds them of Phil Jackson of the LA Lakers....:eek: I don't know whether those stories are true. Could be just some fans blowing things out of proportion... Hopefully, one of these days, his pupils will give him titles he can be proud about... ;) Not yet, though. :eek:

    COngrats to Marc, He's a brilliant player, very consistent among the top 20 to 40 players.....lets look forward to good results from him in coming SS and big tournaments.......I hope he can perform like anup somewhere soon :).....There should be some upsets in SS men's singles by european singles players not only Kenneth and PG......

    sure...basically in each tournament, eaither you will have 28 picks or 32 picks..( Sandy will detremine that)..so you pick single players in MS and WS who will win...since it si about the points...sometimes..we PAW big points...lets say LD vs Marc , based on the ranking, sandy has a formula so lets say LD vs Marc ( 5-25)..so if you choose LD is winner then youget 5 points but you choose Marc and he beats LD then you get 25 points...
    For Double ( MD,WD and XD), we start PAWing from Quarter final onward...
