PROFILE:
Taufik
is considered the most talented men’s
singles player in the game at the
moment. The current holder of both
the Olympic Gold Medal and World Championship
title. He recently won the Indonesia
Open title for the 6th time and is
nursing a back injury which could
affect his play here at the MVP Cup.
His inactivity due to the injury has
seen his ranking drop, but he is now
on the road to recovery and is now
preparing for his title defense at
the World Championships this September.
Along
with Lin Dan, Taufik is making his
second straight appearance at the
MVP Cup. Last year, he beat Anders
Boesen in straight sets to win a point
for the Asian team. He has defeated
Kenneth Jonassen 3 times—most recently
at the Indonesia Open—and has never
played Niels Christian Kaldau.
