The 4 GRAND PRIX GOLD tournaments contested so far in 2009 have been won by 4 different players in the mens' singles: India by TH, Malaysia by LCW, Philippines by CL and Thailand by NTM. This is indeed good for badminton and it just shows that there are other players around who are ever ready to give the established players a run for their money. I was most impressed with the performances of CL and NTM.
