not always last year AE08, Taufik had to face LCW in the quarter... TH really wanted to win that match but his condition is not good as this period of time. after MO'08 Taufik really become different player... and he is more motivated.... and of course he got confidence since he played to final before and even got a first place once last year.... Old TH is hardly get to QF and because of that you can see his play on Thomas Cup'08 when he had to play...eh,,, I forgot in the semi when Indonesia lost he should be the one who save Indonesia because at that time the score is 2-0.... he played totally bad , nervous and etc... this is because he do not play that high after AG'06 and never feel the pressure until he got one in TC'08 I'm sorry if you guys can't understand this.... TH now is different... let's hope he shows us who he is actually !!!
Still waiting.. ..for indra to make his formal prognostication on how Taufik will do in this week's AE.. ..hmm, is that a presumption??..any source to back up that claim??..
Taufik himself good enough for you? http://www.taufik-hidayat.com/blog/index.php?blogid=WEB-09-000043
^^That's what we're looking for..^^ ..thanks for the link/info! We shall wait & see whether he's been "concentrating fully on training and keeping fit to ensure maximum game"..
Where is Taufik Hidayat staying while at the 2009 All England Open? . Without Taufik's permission, we dare not disclose. .
He...he...he...You all will see a totally different TH in just two days... Round 32, you will see the power TH had when he was only 13 years Round 16, you will see the style of his play when he was only 14 years Round 8, you will see his techniques he employed when he was only 15 Round 4, you will him play with half of his real power Final: You will FINALLY see the real TH with his 7 newly acquired techniques I mentioned earlier in another thread. I will not reveal the other 6 secret techniques that he will demonstrate until he reaches the Final Round
if TH can make it to the final without using his 7 lifelines, he shouldn't needed in the final either. However, i think TH has to start his secrets just to get to the final, if he gets to the final. TH is lucky this time too, he wont face any chinese until the final.
If it doesn't rain in Birmingham during the 2009 AE tournament, Taufik should be OK . As long as it doesn't rain in Birmingham during the 2009 AE tournament, Taufik should be OK. Taufik told us "I hate rain, rain makes me lazy and I just want to go to sleep". .
I would love to see how TH beat LD....if they both entered Final.........Olympic Champion Vs Olympic Champion......
yes.....but LD always fail to do it.......in 2005 they met in WC .....LD lost. A year later.....they met again in Asia Game Final.....LD ...lost again...... so.....this AE.....Final.......is a chance again..........if they play in Final.....
Remembering past 'Taufik Hidayat vs Lin Dan' matches . Our historians here at BC are really something... remembering past TH vs LD matches. But at this 2009 AE, they can only meet at the Finals. So... Let's hope that both of them can make it there. .
