Taufik Hidayat is my favorite single player, The reason that i like him is because i enjoy seeing him, because of his excellent skills, especially of his back hand smash which can clock a speed at 260 km/h. His game often make me feel that he can read the shot of his opponent and did a anticipation that opponent unexpected.

Almost forgot, he is extremely good in controlling netting. I watched the game of his, world championship 2005 against Lin Dan in he final, Lin Dan was unable to return most of his net shot.
