Well everybody knows that Taufik Hidayat (TH) is a best friend to Datuk Lee Chong Wei (DLCW) in badminton world. The question is why TH? What so special about TH that makes DLCW close to him? I personally never have known these two great players but often following their update from media, internet and magazine.
Taufik Hidayat
------------------
If I may recall, TH was turn to professional since last 5 years ago. Prior to that he was playing with PBSI and been in the Indonesia elite squad since he was 16. He really impressed the world on his 1st appearance in Thomas Cup as a third single player. What a young talented and bright future player.It was early Y2K year. Was it?
His powerful backhands smash really scaring his opponents. Sometimes they prefer to place the shuttlecock on his forehand rather than on the backhand side. To me, he is the legend and the world of badminton would be different without this great Indonesian player.
TH Characters
-------------------
These are only my personal observation and they might be right and even wrong.
- Very sincere type of person
- Was hot tempered kind of player. But now even cool.
- Friendly
- Always give positive comment to press
And perhaps DLCW find that TH has similar characters with him. DLCW is very humble and friendly type of person. Love to greet people and always try to make a joke. We often have seen these on TV when press interviewing him. Indonesia is a neighbor to Malaysia anyway! :p
Really wish all the best for these 2 great players.
