TCS is also banned from competition in Asia, he is playing in the German league, I presume training with a German team as well...
Long story..............................................................................................................................................................................................
If Showman Sasaki can display the same form he showed against Lin Dan twice previously, in the Thomas Cup and the Olympics, I think he will outplay anybody here except Lee CW.
Tan chun seang was banned from participating in Asian games, thus making his ranking slightly below cwf, daren lire, hafiz and arif an understatement... if he could join all tournament, he Shd be only behind lcw in Malaysia.Reason for his ban is because of leaving bam, in which he is against the idea of sending second string players to ss tournaments, iirc. That's a practice that is still going on in bam...Since then tan cs has participate in different level of tournaments and won quite a number of ic and is, while going into semi final of US gpg.Tan currently play in the Austrian n German league... he is also working as an assistant coach. To me, tan is the best hope of proving bam wrong
Now-chubby Simon can't afford to maintain his pace. Cost him rubber against CWF yesterday, and can't stand TCS today. He also lost to Alamsyah straight game in INA GPG.
His ban in Asia is not just because he quit BAM, other players also quit but allowed to play Internationally like Hafiz, Fuzzy, OSH. So far, TCS only one who got this...penalty.
Bedtime for me. Got to wake up early to catch the last match involving KKK/TBH. Meanwhile DL leading SS 11-4 during towel break. What happen to SS? Injured?
Ahsan/Hendra should have won the match by now...instead, a rubber-set is played as they lost the first set 21-23, despite leading 19-16.
