"During my heyday, my main rival was Svend Pri of Denmark. He ended my winning streak in the All-England. The biggest disappointment was at the 1973 Thomas Cup on home ground. Indonesia defeated Denmark 8-1. Unfortunately, the only defeat was mine. I lost to Svend. It was heart-wrenching,” he recalled.
Pri juga layak ke akhir kejohanan dunia 1977 tetapi tewas kepada rakannya yang lebih muda Flemming Delfs. Svend Pri turut mengetuai Denmark dalam Piala Thomas 1979 tapi tewas kepada Indonesia di final.
