They can play well against the unseeded pair,but once they face the ranked top 5 pairs,they're playing like juniors...Es when they play with FHF/CY.I prefer Kido/Hendra more..
yeah, no doubt MK/HS are a better pair, but i don't think there are too many second pairs in the world who can beat them consistently. they will have a major contribution in INA's TC campaign this year, mark my words.
I was quite surprised with the pairing as well, we should wait and see how they do in ABC, I think they (IBA) are doing this so that they can keep their options open, however I think it would not be a good idea splitting Kido/Setiwan pairing........
I believe Sigit is a better doubles partner to chandra than Flandy(no offense to Flandy). Since they have done wonders before, they might perform better against other opponents in the lower rank players. Does anybody know why Sigit was not invited?
He became a coach for Jarum since last year....he was invited for thomascup simulation but after PBSI found out that he had been coaching for Jarum , he was no longer part of the team.....
What's wrong with a coach trying to play again in the international events?Last time i remember,he's still playing in for the djarum.Well..the question here would be whether he is willing to play again in the international championships or not..
The question is whether he is good enough...and whether PBSI want to pick him. I am willing to play for INA
After retiring, he went to Djarum and paired with Frans ....then he made commitment of being a coach Djarum instead of playing international....occasionally, he did sparring or played a bit for Japanese club like he did last year...
