Thanks for posting, I was wondering where to find the results... By the looks of it, the level was very good, with many of the best asian junior players! Did you get to watch the matches live?
So, do you have any thoughts on who are the most talented upcoming youngsters? Which were the best matches? Globally, it seems like China dominated the debates...
Gong wei Jie, of course... , most Indonesian top seeded players were beaten by him, he's a great player.. He is very fast, and has a lot of power, very calm, very tall (the net is a bit lower than his shoulders). Among all Indonesians, Tomy Sugiarto was the most talented one, he is just 16!!, but he was still nothing, compared to the chinese, no offense.. He is very good in defense, but he doesnt have that much power on smashing. btw, he really looks like his father . Greisya Polii was pretty good too, she is very good on positioning the shutlle. I think all Chinese are good..
Indonesian talent for the future To me the best indonesian talent is not Tommy but well Achmad Rivai. He plays incredibly relaxed and deceptive. His semifinal against Tommy was a strange match. Rivai made unusual unforced errors, and showed no motivation. Maybe the players had decided before who would be the winner... And anyway, Tomy had no difficulties in the draw to reach the final, only playing against Indonesians, while Rivai had to play against Koreans for example, or the other indonesian top seeds against Chinese players or other top seeds... Corruption? Dunno what happened anyway...
Hey...... I think you're right... ! My friend once told me that Rivai has ever beaten Tomy.. Anyway, did you compete in this tournament? you are 18 - 19, just wondering if you are the one with the blue eyes...
Hehehe Well, that's right, Rivai has just beaten Tommy in an easily way last week in Sudirman tournament in Jakarta!!! And, uhm, yes I am the one with blue eyes, actually the only white player there ;-) I would just add that my single match against Stenny Kusuma was horrible.. I can do better, but u know... Pressure, so much crowd, so hot... Hehehe Okay maybe I remember U if I see ur photo boy Maybe by email?
Woww... Well, hellooo Mr.. I remeberred that Stenly enter the court late, you should've won by WO.. I hate indonesian spectators when they yell... so irritating.. I also remember to see another white player, with dark hair, is it your brother? I'll send you pv msgs.
