I can`t believe this guy was not already in the top ten. I guess he doesn`t get out of Taiwan/China much. Phenomenal player.

He's been a monster since he was a junior. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ko_Pin-yi
there's three actually. the youngest brother is on the scene now.

All the Ko Brothers are very talented and feed off of each other to improve. That's really the best motivator, to one up your siblings. LOL

i'm sure it hits like his beloved SW or he wouldn't have switched.
