Men's Singles As Indonesia's brightest rising star, Hidajat is carrying the mantle well. Victories at the 5 star Indonesia and Malaysiaevents has catapulted him into the world's #1
spot for the first time. He moved ahead of compatriot, Hendrawan, who now occupies the second spots on this week's JVC Rankings. The middle positions remain largely unchanged, however, strong play from
Malaydia's Ong Ewe Hock, who made it to the finals at the Indonesiaand semi's at the Malaysiahas moved up to the 7th spot this week. The biggest story of all is India's Puella Gopichand who's best
performance came at last week's Malaysiawhere he lost in the semi's to eventual champion, Taufik Hidajat. However, Gopichand, who is in Asia's elite 10 for the first time, is playing at his peak going into
the Olympics. |
