Men's Singles Last year's Champion,
Sun Jun, has been laid up with injuries this year and has dropped completely out of the top ten in the JVC Asian Rankings. Although he did not play for China in the recent Thomas Cup, he is planning to compete at
the upcoming Indonesia and Malaysia in order to increase his Olympic seeding points, so he'll likely appear back on the JVC Rankings soon. Fung Permadi of Chinese Taipei is in a similar position having
dropped from the #2 spot to #10. However, the new #1 in the Men's Singles category is Malaysian Wong Choong Hann. He's still riding high on last year's Malaysiavictory and a good showing at the 1999
World Grand Prix Finals. The Chinese newcomer contingent consists of Xia Xuanze (3), Ji Xipeng (4) and Luo Yigang (7). Xia has won two events already this year (All England/Swiss and he leads a strong
group of young Chinese competitors. |
