It´s more like 2,5 years almost since LCW won the KOR and MAS SS in January 2013.For more than a year, no MS has won back-to-back SS tourneys, it's getting harder apparently, and Chen Long had won the AUS Open just a week or so after the Sudirman Cup. Can Chen Long do it? Quite a challenge requiring mental toughness,the ability to stay focused throughout and be on top of his game in addition to the physical demands.
I've no doubt about his physicality and athleticism but not too sure of his mental attitude, the will to win match after match over a long period of time without break (sort of), esp when the going gets tough for whatever reason. The answer will be known soon.
@ dwinski, i just don't think you will ever run out of tickets at the ticketing boothjust go to the stadium (take a reputable cab, ask the hotel), bring cash in IDR, and watch out the pocket pickers as every where a crowded place like this poses increased risk. Have fun watching live at the stadium...you're a lucky man
The ticket prices for semi finals (Sat) and finals (Sun) are the same:
VIP = IDR 500,000; Class 1 = IDR 200,000; Class 2 = IDR 75,000
Exc.rate: USD 1 = IDR 13,200++

Is this pic from this year or last year? I really liked when the courts at INA open were surrounded by all red colors unlike last year when the arena looked so boring and uncharacteristic..

Agree, I'm sad that Tommy won't reach the second round,he's my favorite MS player from Indonesia.
