Men's Singles Hendrawan has proven that he is still Indonesia's best performer under pressure. His victories at the Thomas Cup and strong showing in the Olympic Games have proven that this
veteran is peaking and leads his country in this category. Taufik Hidajat, who is the "heir apparent" to Hendrawan, has shown flashes of brilliance, but will need to mature mentally before he is able to
claim to be the best of the best. Gold Medallist, Ji Xipeng of China, drew near to the top position after his great showing in Sydney and moved into the third position this week ahead of compatriot, Xia
Xuangxe. Gopichand, of India remains a bright, new face on the Asian badminton scene in eighth position after the Indonesian, Marleve Mainaky, and Chinese #3, Luo Yigang. Fung Permadi is back in the top ten
in the 10th position this week. |
