Other information that could be of interest to the media
Competed in my first international competition last summer in the US Open. In the second round of men's doubles, played Tony Gunawan (2006 World's Champion) and Halim Haryaranto. We were tied 5 all at the beginning of the match, the crowd was going wild, and, of course, we lost.
