Dont be sad, TWK/Woon can do better during Taiwan Open Your info fast than site, haha. That means KKK must be pengsan2 tired.
Okey, dokey, Winners of Penang Open, Division 1 : 1) MS : Roslin Hashim (from Nusa M) beat Hafiz, 21-9 18-21 21-12 2) XD : KKK/Hui Lin beat TWK/WKW in 2 sets, 21-15 24-22 3) WS : Julia Wong beat Tee Jing Yi in 2 sets, 21-10 21-10 4) WD : Fong/Mooi (from KLRC) beat CEH/Sook Chin, 15-21 22-20 21-3 5) MD : KKK/TBH beat CCM/CCE (from Victor), 21-18 18-21 21-8 Wow, WD in rubber was 21-3, wonder if CEH or Sook Chin injured. I only managed to watch XD till half of 2nd set, KKK/Hui Lin, though 1st time paired up, showed the difference in tactical & experience (on the part of KKK). Me agree with Samuel that hui lin is suitable partner for KKK in XD compare to Liu Ying (ABC Champs in April). Division 2 MD FInals were on tv court, I'm not familiar with our juniors, they're an interesting watch though. RTM 1 stopped live broadcast when it was MD finals. RTM would normally show the recorded version 3 to 4 weeks later, at midnite.
best effort player(s) ms i give this to liew daren...... ws hmmp...i expect tee jing yi to give some resistance to julia...but then...she lost easily in final...so...no one in ws... wd the winner...fong chew yen/mooi hing yau... xd surely,kkk/nhl...nhl smash much better than khe wei...kkk reserve his energy in the final...and yet...still win it... md...this one is long...... 1st,chan peng soon/ lim khim wah,as expected before the game start...they perform well...upset two senior pairs... 2nd,khoo chung chiat/tan bin shen...upset the favourite of many ppl(zakry/fairuz),and a good fight with the winner... 3rd,chan/chew...manage to safe themself for junior threat...all junior give them hard time...and they manage to go through to final....and finally,lost to koo/tan 4th,mak hee chun/teo kok siang,tan wee kiong/razif...both almost create upset to beat the finalist...... the best of the best in division 1... KOO KIEN KIAT...superbly...8 match in 3 days...and two title in bag...many says they not perform well...but then,kcc/tbs and twk/razif will be the rising star in near future...no shame for won in 3 close sets in both matches...
division 2,best effort player(s) ms, 1st,misbun ramdan...upset two seeded player,but iskandar show him still have space to improve... 2nd,lok bok sheang,beat 2nd seed,kuan kam chung...unexpected win... ws, ng sin er...that beat the clear favourite,florah ng...surprise winner in ws... wd, ong boon hui,she nearly beat top seed,if with a better patner,then she can do it... xd, many 3 close sets match...but...hard to decide...so i left this empty... md, surely the winner,cheah like hou and chin chuan jue...create many upset...and won the title...for someone that just entered bjss after sukma...this acheivement is surely brilliant... overall... maybe we will see the misbuns to beat the world again
again...double department is better than single in this department for back up squad... md squad will be tooooooo large...rexy should be very happy and pening(confusing)... gan teik chai/lin woon fui place in senior squad is very dangerous now... after lee/chong retired the squad will sound like this: koo/tan fairuz/zakry hth/osh(maybe rexy will consider split this pair) tbs/kcc tan wee kiong/razif chan peng soon/lim khim wah gan/lin hopefully chang hun pin is recovering well...maybe can pair with hth oh ya...mak hee chun/teo kok siang will be in this list...2 years time and addition,chan/chew still capable to compete with the world...
Notice the walk over in the Division 2 Vee Vian/Yvonne over Florah Ng/Nurhani. The reason being Florah Ng/Nurhani didn't have the same attire. SUch a waste to get disqualifed just like that
what? they got disqualified for that? i've seen international tournaments where players don't have even remotely similar attire, i don't see how that's a problem. it's not like football where the opponent is going to get confused!
There you go... 29 August 2008 - Quarterfinal Matches 1:KBH v Roslin 2aren (v Yogendran) 3:Rashid Sidek giving tips to Daren 4:Tan Wee Kiong & Chin Eei Hui warming up 5:This pic..who do you see? 6 & 7 :KKK/TBH v Wee Kiong/Razif
Yeah, in fact I heard lots of "Boos" from the supporters. I only heard from my linesmen friend abt the reason after everything has ended. I suspect the same for CCM/CCE too because from my far observation, before their final match, CCM and CCE were at the registration counter for quite some time. And then CCM had to run all the way down to his car (which I assume is to get t shirt). CCE later changed his t shirt as well. Here's a picture of CCE (in green) at the counter while CCM was away.
thanks for the photos and info. if that's the real reason they were disqualified, then it's ridiculous. why weren't they disqualified before? did they run out of matching outfits?
Semi Finals pictures 29 Aug - DIdn't take much pic in the evening sessions cuz the crowd was getting more and more! Pic1&2aren v Hafiz. Salute Daren for giving Hafiz a fight Pic3:Uncles vs Chan Peng Soon/Khim Wah Pic4:KKK/TBH v KCC/TBS
Ok. Final Day. Pic1:MXD FInal. The crowd was entertained by "KKK's show" and fancy playing. Pic2:MS Final - the clash of the brothers Pic3:KKK- the crowd's favourite. The hall was so small that there was not enough place to sit! Pic4ivision II MD. Didn't really watch that match. Ow Yao Han is pretty impressive. Tho they lost in MD, I know he also won in MXD earlier with Ong Boon Hooi (the girl who shouted so much that she pissed the crowd in the quarterfinals against our hometown MXD pair) Pic5:Match of the Day - MD Finals! Pic6:MD on the Podium Ok. I guess that's it. So nice being a student, having so much free time this time around to go almost everyday of Penang Open!!
