It has again confirmed in the world junior championship that they are going downhill. What can or should they do ? It is time to import the expatriate.
Interesting that also Tomas Kihlström and Stefan Karlsson are on this list. They were doubles specialists. I didn't even know that they used to compete internationally in singles...
Han Ai Ping started early. In late 70's and in her teens. Sometime during her career, heard she got sick and had to stop for a long period of time - 1 to 2 years. Almost gave up badminton, I heard. Resumed playing probably in 83/84 and was one of the top players. Also one of my favorite player.
Checked some info on Han Ai Ping in a HK Invitational '79 - 18 yrs old
- lady singles champion in 1978 - imagine singles champion in China at 17. At that age I was learning how to hold the racquet.
The Chinese qualifier Fu Haifeng/Cai Yun upset world #2 pair Jens Eriksen/Martin Lundgaard in China Open. These two pairs are going to Copenhagen Master.
