Hendra Setiawan and Tony Gunawan Prepare for Thailand Badminton Competition
Indonesian badminton player Hendra Setiawan stated that he and his partner are still in the training phase as they prepare for a competition in Thailand.While training is ongoing, opportunities for joint practice have been limited, including for Tony Gunawan who is currently training in the United States.
Training Progress and Challenges
Hendra acknowledged that training is currently focused on individual development. he mentioned a recent solo “tampel” (thin exercise) session but expressed hope for joint training before departing for Thailand. “[Not yet]. Yesterday had a chance to do a tampel (thin exercise) but alone. Not just using a coach. Maybe before leaving there will be training together first, then go there (Thailand),” Hendra said [source: Based on provided text].
The limited opportunities for paired training, particularly wiht Tony Gunawan based in the US, present a challenge as they gear up for the upcoming competition. The focus remains on individual skill refinement until they can resume collaborative practice.
Looking Ahead
Hendra and his partner are aiming to maximize their preparation time before heading to Thailand. Further updates on their training schedule and joint practice sessions are expected as the competition date approaches.
