When was the last time a top chinese player actually turned up at the Indonesian Open? Why should they change now?
Cheung, the same exact thought came across when i saw the draws. however, i think this time they might actually show up as it will give them the preparation for the Asian Games. but we will just have to wait and see.
Hmm... security reasons?? I still remembered last year's incident where Lee Tsuen Seng admitted that he played in the final against Marleve with fear. The stadium's atmosphere was simply unbearable.
