Hendrawan

Hendrawan (born Malang, East Java, Indonesia; June 27, 1972) was an Indonesian badminton player.

Hendrawan began playing internationally in the early 1990s but at first was overshadowed by a number of his countrymen who rated among the world's elite players. His results gradually improved, peaking at the end of the century with a silver medal in men's singles at the 2000 Summer Olympics and the gold medal at the 2001 IBF World Championships over Denmark's Peter Gade. Hendrawan was an outstanding Thomas Cup (men's world team) performer for Indonesia, winning each of his championship round singles matches in the 1998, 2000, 2002 editions won by Indonesia. In the last of these his final match victory over Malaysia's Roslin Hashim broke a 2–2 tie.

His specialty was his deceptive net play that frequently confused and wrong-footed his opponents.
