Wow, what a huge upset and surprise, look like Malaysia have new hope in MD.
only if they go all the way and win Macau Open title...
furthermore this is just the beginning...
Yes Malaysia now have a new hope in MD. The main reason is Tan Kian Ming. He is a very good and versatile player. I remembered he is a good MS player and won before medals in MS. Then this year he is told to switch over to play in XD recently and stop playing in MS. Now he is told to double duty and play in MD and he played well too.
only if they go all the way and win Macau Open title...

Bro, you need to have more faith in them, they are young but managed to beat no.1 seeded pair from Greater China (current world rank no.9 & runner-up in 2015 World Championship) and that was a big milestone in their badminton career. FYI, LOW Juan Shen (22 yrs old) & TAN Kian Meng (21 yrs old).
Yes that is why I say both have good future. Congratulations.
Indeed bro
Tan Kian Ming achievement thus far
1. played XD with Peck Yen Wei 3 times but already won 1 silver and 1 bronze medal.
2. played XD with Lai Pei Jing first time won bronze medal. Played XD with Lai Pei Jing again in this tournament.
3. Played MD with Teo Ei Yi for the first time won bronze medal.
4. Played MD with Low Juan Shen for the first time in this tournament.
Point 2 - I dont think he ever got a bronze / semi-finalist with Lai Pei Jing yet. They played together for the first time in Jeonju Korea Masters in early November and got knocked out in the 1st round. They played together for the second time in Maybank International and got knocked out in the quarterfinals.
Point 3 - I dont think so either. They played together for the first time in Jeonju Korea Masters did not get past the qualifying rounds. They played together for the second time in Maybank International and got defeated in last 8 as well.
