Huh? What's you talking about? A player nobody ever heard of will not be able to become number 1 as that player would not advance far anyway. This ranking is still based on number of tournaments won or advanced. You either enter less tournaments but win more or enter more tournaments if you didn't win all the time. This system is definitely better than the old one.
I would say that the new ranking now favors the Malaysian pairs (in MD). Rexy has his wishes fulfilled when all his pairs are in the top 8, with CCM/KKK and Mohd Tazari/Lin in no 3 and 4 respectively. Indonesian pairs are now put at a disadvantage because only Luluk/Alvent are in the top 8 and Kido/Hendra are now out of the top 25. It's even more surprising to see that Hendra/Joko is now ranked above Kido/Hendra at no 23. I think PBSI will still send Luluk/Alvent to the WC, but unsure about Kido/Hendra or Hendra/Joko. They might send Flandy/Sigit to the 4 remaining tournaments before the WC to boost up their rankings to the top 20 (if it's not too late). As for MS, none of the singles are in the top 10, with Taufik at no 24, Simon at no 33, and Sony at no 41 . Definitely bad news and I don't think Taufik will even be in the top 8 seeds by the time WC comes. As for XD, don't worry...Nova/Butet will once again be ranked no 1 if they win today. This bodes well for the World Championship, where I believe they will be either the no 1 or no 2 seed. They are also the only pair (other than Luluk/Alvent) that is guaranteed to be sent by PSBI to the WC this year.
Lin Dan lost the top spot! Whew!!! what happen, i check out internationalbadminton.org and i saw that lin dan was the no. 3 in the world!!! he captured the top spot in the last March of 2004 but what happen??? :crying: huh??/ Peter Gade make it again! even taufik hidayat! hes only world no. 24 now!!!!!!! if possible, maybe im wrong or the website!!! xie xing fang was only on the 5th and the newest world no. 1 is Xu Huaiwen!!!!! huh!!! but the good thing is that, Asuncions made it back again to the no. 22!!!!!!! Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah yup ur right how come taufik become world no. 24 though he won the indonesia open,a 6* tournament??? i was really surprise by the rankings, really really surprise!!!!!!!!!! i couldnt imagine it!!!!
did you even try to *understand* how the ranking system work before you ask this question? if you had gone through and try to understand it, it will be all clear.
Unbelieveable!This new WR system doesn't represent shuttler's quality.How come PG and XHW get the title world number one?Because both of them participated in a lot of bdm tourney compare than others although totally they didn't book impressive achievements in last 12 months.Negative impact for TH that dumped at no.24, he only compete in few tourneys so far (the new system doesn't care about TH's title WorldChamp' and OGMedalist).Bad news for INA's shuttlers whose rare to join many tourneys because PBSI's reward and punishment system plus fund limitation.Basically, world rank affect to(--) seeding--drawing--result and finally result affect to world rank...this is a chain reaction!Like or dislike bdm-fans must accept it...
not true. i don't think that can be blamed on the new ranking system. the same can happen in the prior system as well. in the old system, if you only participate in 4 tournaments, you will be ranked lower. the magic number is 8. this is the same for the new system. so if one don't participate enough tournaments and you get a low ranking, there is no one else to blame.
TH does'nt 'pursue' ranking, he's just interesting with a pretigous tournament title, the only impact to taufik is he will meet a top ranking player in early round, or he may play in qualifying round
taufik ranking will be in 50 or above in next WC , indonesia can only send 2 player becos none are in top ten, PSBI must send sony and taufik, its too bad for simon wake up PBSI, send your players to many tournament, find some sponsors
