and if I am not mistaken , he matched ardy's record last year, and if he win this year, he will surpass ardy
i think lcw is already very strong in mental, maybe he is just lack of experience he is so young give him some time
I do not think lcw is so young that he hasn't much experience.The truth is his nerves got on to him when facing taufik during the semi final match in the recent world championship.Malaysian players sometimes tend to freeze when meeting players of better reputation.When we talk about experience being the factor influencing the outcome of the game,t hen there should be some kind of a hard fought game.But lcw lost meekly to taufik not because he wasa medicore player.His mental capacity to believe that he could defeat taufik wasn't there at all.This Ibelieve is the bane of all the Malaysian players.If this aspect is not corrected from young,then malaysians dream of producing an olympic champion in badminton will forever be only an illussion.
Djarum Indonesian Open Lee Chong Wei i bet. I'll be in Jakarta on the starts from 1/4 finals to give moral support.
Lee Chong Wei i hope... my only worry is his stamina n sometimes lack of concentration. it kills to c him keep making unforced error when he played taufik in the WC semi... About stamina... remember last year's Singapore Open when he thrashed Kenneth Johannson in the first game, lead the 2nd with big margin before succumbed to lack of fitness... that skinny boy! but i still hope he'll win... bring it on taufik!!!
Taufik Hidayat!!! i believe indo open05 is one of his target too...winning in his home infront of all the indo fans... and taufik had been indo open MS champion for many years, if im not wrong he did not took part in one year (which mainaky won) if not he would have a VERY long record of indo open... anyone with any info??
well, if you mean that, i think it is 2001 he took 99,00,02,03,04 titles almost 6 consecutive champion
If Taufik wins this year he will only tie Ardy Wiranata's record of winning 6 Indonesian Open titles.
Yup, I just re-checked and Ardy indeed won it 6 times (1990-1992, 1994-1995, 1997). Taufik has to win 2 more titles to beat this record!
I agree, whithout China players ,well Taufik is the best For This IO, But If he is in Good Cond.and don't forget the audience here... well sometimes Taufik is moody. too
Taufik lost Looks like he got a hang over from disneyland. Simon is under pressure to perform now. Chong Wei looks good so far. Very open. So, any second thoughts about who will be champion? Nevemind, I'll get the free ticket from Hariyanto Arbi. His office is just next to Hotel Mulia at the smaller senayan hall. See, if you ask for it, you'll get it. No free tshirt lah, but can sell you cheap lah (you still gain rite?). Tment tickets can get free lah. rgds
I hope there will be a ALL MALAYSIAN FINAL : Chong Wei vs Choon Han. And Chong Wei will win the title !
If no more upset in the coming matches, then we will see Lee Chong Wei and Kenneth in the final. As for Simon, I am not exactly convinced on what happened between him and Taufik but Taufik would have a better chance to be in the final than Simon.
