i think its Zhang Ning and Mia Audina too.... both great rivalries.... they'll be competing again here in MVP CUP in manila....
Mens doubles: Park JB and Kim MS vs Li YB and Tian BY. All due respect to the Malaysians and Indos of the time but these were the two pairs who would always win when it counted. I think the koreans had the edge in overall head to head matches but in big games it was pretty even. Mens singles: Ardy Wiranata vs Zhou Jian Hua... I miss watching them play. Early on in their careers Zhou won many of their encounters but as time went by it seemed Ardy won more and more but Zhou won it at the WC and went on to become WC. Or more recently: Taufik vs Gade vs Lin Taufik and Lin haven't played all that much but both have healthy rivalries against Gade (both in fact have the edge against Gade in important matches).
firstly, they did not lose badly. badly means under 5. the score was 18-13. secondly, you must have mistaken with Soo Beng Kiang and Yap Kim Hock. Rexy/Ricky lost to Cheah Soon Kiat/soo Beng Kiang in the 1992 Thomas cup final. this was the critical point which Indonesia eventually lost the thomas cup. after that Soo Beng Kiang stopped his partnership with CSK coz of some personal issues. CSK then Partnered with Yap Kim Hock. If i'm not mistaken, theese 2 pairs (R/R & Chech/Soo) didn't meet anymore after that.
Ardy still talks about playing Zhou sometimes. He says that if Zhou was on he had no chance b/c of his amazing jump smash. Ardy showed us his ready position if he lifted (he exaggerated) but he was squatting so low... it was pretty funny. Ardy also said that Zhou would get tired and he would let it affect his gameplay. Zhou would win like 5 points then let Ardy get 3 while he rested.
here's for WS li lingwei vs han aiping tang jiuhong vs huang hua ye zhaoying vs susy susanti ( susy told on metrotv(kick andy program)that YE was her arch rival,the must difficult player to beat Dai yun vs camilla martin zhang ning vs mia audina gong ruina vs zhou mi enough yet????
In WS: Susi Susanti-Tang Jiu Hong- Huang Hua-Bang Shu Hyun I know that Susi always beats Huang Hua and Susi is evenly with Tang Jiu Hong....
Possibly the Lin Dan fans vs the LCW fans vs Taufik fans. Sorry, you meant... ? Oh, I definitely agree with the matches up below as already mentioned: MS : Yang Yang vs Morten Frost MD : ParkJB/KimMS vs Li YB/TianBY vs Eddy Hartono/Rudy Gunawan
Wow.. ..never expected there will be a Ball X also..I thought X Ball might've been banned or changed his screen-name (like bananaboy to bananakid).... I can imagine already, IF there would be a debate between X Ball and Ball X, it's going to be quite amusing.. Btw, welcome to BCBF, Ball X, i assume you're Indonesian?? (looking @ your profile)
zhang ning vs mia audina LD and taufik (crowd pleaser) susi s. vs ye zhao ying (and other chinese gals) i think lady players make great rivalry. They dont call them cat fights for nothing
