Hope to read Taufik's thoughts (after his match against Simon Santoso) in his blog . Hope to read Taufik's thoughts (after this match against Simon Santoso) in his blog soon. .
^^I'd like to read that..^^ ..and find out his "real" reason(s) for losing the match (maybe he'll say, "i lost interest because LD withdrew and wanted to have another rematch against him")..From looking @ the scoreboard (vs. SS in the 2009 HK Open tourney), i thought he had lost to LinDan by only gaining 13 & 6 pts?!?!?!.. ..Taufik decided that it's probably better for him to spend his time & energy doing more exciting stuff in HK...Follow in LD's footsteps..
Not a good thing to say about both Taufik Hidayat and Lin Dan . WOW... This is not a good thing to say about both TH and LD. .
^^Off topic-WOW??..So, looking @ the scoreboard..^^ ..what excuse(s) or reason(s) or explanation(s) do you think Taufik will give in his blog for his 21-13, 21-6 loss to Simon Santoso in this yr's HK Open?? a) i couldn't deal w/the draft as it was just too strong? b) i wanted to give Simon Santoso a chance to go further and win another SS? c) i didn't get enough rest & training time prior to coming to HK? d) i want to rest up for next week's CHN Open? e) Simon was just too good for me? f) i got up on the wrong side of the bed in the morning?
LD have beaten taufik more and overall he was better but taufik defeated LD when it hurted most . 2005 WC and 2006 Asian gold .
