RP Open badminton pinuri ni Hidayat

-
Pinuri ni reigning Olympic at world champion Taufik Hi-dayat ang unang pagtatang-hal ng Philippine Open Bad-minton Championships, at si-nabi nitong ang naturang event ay makakatulong sa pagsu-long ng antas ng kompetisyon at mapaunlad ng mga players ang kanilang playing skills sa tulong ng mga world-class cali-ber players.

"From what I’ve seen, the physique of Filipinos is identi-cal to most of the world cham-pions whom I have played with. The only ele-ment needed for major success by Filipino pla-yers is more international com-petitions," ani Hidayat.

Inaasahan ang Indon ace, na naging unang player na nanalo ng Olympic at world singles crown, na manguna sa hamon ng mga foreigners na kabibilangan nina Nathan Ro-bertson, Gail Emms, Lin Dan, Pi Hongyan, Mia Audina Tjipta-wan sa upcoming Philippine Open na nakatakda sa March 1-5 sa PhilSports Arena sa Pa-sig City.

Inimbitahan si Hidayat, kinikilalang isa sa best singles players ng naturang sport, sa paglulunsad ng $120,000 event noong nakaraang linggo bila chief endorser, ngunit hindi nakarating ang five-time Indo-nesia Open winner dahil sa injury.

Ang RP Open na spon-sored ng Bingo Bonanza, ay isang four-star tournament, na ngayon lamang itatanghal ng IBF (International Badminton Federation) sa bansa para big-yan ng tsansa ang mga local players na maka-ani ng world-ranking points.

Ito ay inorganisa ng IMG katulong ang JVC, na inaa-sahang lalahukan ng 200 pla-yers mula sa 25 bansang inim-bitahan dahil magsisilbi itong preparasyon para sa China Masters, isang six-star tourna-ment na gaganapin, isang ling-go pagkatapos ng RP Open.
