The Evolution of Taufik Hidayat part 1...
It was during this time that Taufik had just burst onto the scene playing badminton men's singles for Indonesia (you can tell how young he was from his baby face).
Previously a runner up to Peter Gade at the 1999 All England men's singles final, Taufik got his first ever win over Peter at this tournament in Singapore.
Taufik was known for playing a 'doubles' style of singles and in this match you could see hints of the flat style of play that he would later become known for.
Taufik changed the game and will be legend forever...
Enjoy this match!!
