Justin, Its good to see that CBA has entered many juniors in the mens singles category for the Thaihot open.Is this a new strategy? I doubt it as its a home tournament. There are so many tournaments this month with no chinese participants but ROW are there. Apart from lack of funds I can only think that there is a lack of concern for the future of Chinas MS and WS category. The Indonesian Bibli tournament is for U15 and U17 players are fully represented by the ROW but why is the CBA not there?? It seems to me that interest is only centered on the Olympics. BTW I am impressed with the coach for the recent WD winners in Thailand. Congratulations to him as that combination has been cleverly selected for their strong points ie attacking, Flair and combination and they are juniors. They beat a number of senior WDs. Come on CBA, develop a group of coaches like this fellow and let them take the juniors all over the world; whats up with you guys?? Sorry for banging on about this but I really would like to see the juniors as they are the future of the game.
I'm afraid not, the juniors get to play here only because it's held on home soil, as is usually the case in the past. But I remember reading somewhere some time ago that LYB is going to do more to develop the junior players, maybe he's looking into the selection process which takes a bit of time. Even Zhao Jianhua the other day expressed the need to inject new blood, find younger talents and not rely too much and too long on the senior players.
