Currently, in both the Thomas Cup squad even want to Uber, more empty slots to be filled before Malaysia could form lines that really sound when we host from 9 to May 15 next year. Challenges in the Thomas Cup, only Datuk Lee Chong Wei and Muhammad Hafiz Hashim has been confirmed tickets, meaning there is still two or three more men's singles slot is not the owner. Two of the three doubles events in the quota is almost certainly owned by Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong and Mohd. Fairuzizuan Tazari-Mohd. Zakry Abdul Latif. (so,fuzzy get to go again,well done bam/nsc) "When this place is Lee Chong Wei and Muhammad Hafiz Hashim has been assured, that means we still have vacancies for two or three places in men's singles. "It is still open to any player, whether young players or players outside the national squad as Wong Choong Hann. After the end of the SEA Games, Malaysia Open is now the first field evaluation. "If players really want to get a place in the Thomas Cup and Uber Cup squad, then it must be motivation for them to find the best results in the Malaysian Open,''said head coach individual countries, Rashid Sidek. Since players do not support wide players have the opportunity to compete in the senior class Super Series tournament, then played in the Open Malaysia opportunity should be used maximum possible.

Meanwhile, in the men's doubles, Kien Keat-Boon Heong bear the responsibility to seize the championship was won again in 2007 with Fairuzizuan Tazari-Zakry Latif. Veteran pair, Choong Tan Fook-Lee Wan Wah also viewed still relevant to strengthen the Thomas Cup challenge. As young as doubles Mak Hee Chun-Tan Wee Kiong, Hoon Thien How-Ong Soon Hock, Lim Khim Wah-Chan Peng Soon or Hong Chien Hun-Chow Pak Chuu (hong/chow is no longer with bam) need to work hard if you want to convince BAM coaching ranks. While the squad for the Uber Cup, the team selection was simplified by this success Pakistan won the SEA Games women's team title was the first time in 34 years in Laos, two weeks ago. The most senior player, Wong Mew Choo and doubles Wong Pei Tty-Chin Eei Hui will certainly be the cornerstone of the team while Julia Wong began se return from injury could strengthen long challenge Malaysia. Line of young players such as Lydia Cheah, Ng Hui Lin, Goh liu ying, Woon Khe Wei and Chong Sook Chin could they be expected with conditions more exposure. Each of them played at the Malaysian Open will, just with different partners.

Big names to grace Putra Stadium http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/articles/badds/Article/index_html China, which has been treating the Malaysia Open as a secnd class event in recent years, will come in full force. This is for their players to get used to the conditions at the Putra Stadium where the Thomas and Uber Cup Finals will be held. Mouth watering battles are on the cards in the men's singles where all the top players have confirmed their berths and this should ensure a sizzling battle for the title between World No 1 Lee Chong Wei and Olympic champion Lin Dan of China.
Limsy, no correction for this one meh......see above those in purple ! Shd be her sister...right..? hehehe
Hiyaa Jason, in malay it was 'adik' (sibling, ccan be bro or sis), dunno how google translate it all male. Yeah it's sister, Ng Hui Ern(heard she's prettier than NHL)
NHL is slimming down these days,....looks prettier now, hope her sister is a cuttie, the first Mas baddy player cuttie.....
I dont mind who wins in the final but firstly I wish both LD and LCW will reach the finals ! Please I love to see a tough good match and not something that is lop sided.
Lin Dan out to end Chong Wei's reign http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/articles/38citizenmuru/Article/index_html THE reigns of Lee Chong Wei and Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong as badminton's World No 1 in their respective events will be severely tested in the season-opening Korea Open (Jan 12-17) and Malaysia Open (Jan 19-24). Things will be difficult for Kien Keat-Boon Heong who have 74779.26 pts. As they will not compete in the Korea Open, South Korea's World No 2 Jung Jae Sung-Lee Yong Dae, with 69077.47, have the opportunity to close the gap. Jae Sung-Yong Dae are the favourites for the title in Korea and if they can achieve a double by successfully defending the Malaysia Open, the pressure will be on Kien Keat-Boon Heong.
yeah for the last sentence of this post oowhh, now we know jason's taste is how...wakaka yes, calm down 1st
The Jae Sung-Yong Dae combination remains the favourites . My bet is that the Jae Sung-Yong Dae combination would win both the Korean and Malaysian Opens (in 2010). IMHO, the Kien Keat-Boon Heong combination is still not as sharp as before. .
Hopefully Hafiz will step up his game, and Wishing for mouthwatering finals. Omg, the QF's and on could be very interesting to watch if all players attend. Good test for MAS players
... a sizzling battle between LD and LCW would only be possible if it comes to the real business... the Thomas Cup. ... so don't think LD would win MO this time, he just care to be familiar with the venue...
Wednesday January 6, 2010 Chong Wei and Koo-Tan will find the going tough By LIM TEIK HUAT SHAH ALAM: The reigns of Lee Chong Wei and Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong as the men’s singles and doubles world No. 1 respectively will be put under test when they compete at the Malaysian Open badminton championships, which will be held at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil from Jan 19-24. All the top 30 singles players, including Olympic and world champion Lin Dan, have confirmed participation as the championships serve the opportunity to test the conditions at a venue, which will also stage the Thomas Cup Finals in May. And the presence of the top Chinese shuttlers, who were absent from the last two editions, will make it tough for Chong Wei to win a sixth Malaysian Open title. He can only expect an easy match against Rajiv Ouseph of England in the first round. In the draw made yesterday for the second Super Series event of the year, Chong Wei is in the same quarter as South Korean Park Sung-hwan, whom he beat in the final last year, and fifth seed Chen Jin of China. The other quarter in the same half has Indonesia’s former Olympic champion Taufik Hidayat, China’s Bao Chunlai and Copenhagen Masters winner Jan Jorgensen of Denmark. The other half of the draw together with Lin Dan are top Dane Peter-Gade Christensen and Indonesians Sony Dwi Kuncoro and Simon Santoso. “The return of the Chinese players makes it much tougher for Chong Wei to live up to the expectations of the home fans,” said national singles chief coach Rashid Sidek. “However, the good news is he has fully recovered from a knee injury and he is coping well in training. He has always done well on home ground and I hope he can reach the final again.” Wong Choong Hann and Mohd Hafiz Hashim are the two other Malaysians in the men’s singles main draw but they will be hard-pressed to get past the early rounds. Choong Hann will play against Wacha Przemyslaw of Poland in the first round and the winner will get a probable second round match against Simon, who won the gold medal in the Laos SEA Games. Hafiz has drawn Hsieh Yu-hsin of Taiwan in the opening round and a second-round match will likely be against 2007 champion Christensen. National elite back-up shuttler Liew Daren, a quarter-finalist last year, will have to play in the qualifying rounds along with Kuan Beng Hong, Chong Wei Feng, Tan Chun Seang, Lee Tsuen Seng and Sairul Amar Ayob. Top seeds Kien Keat-Boon Heong will find it tough to regain the Malaysian Open title they last won in 2007 as they have been drawn in the same half as Olympic champions Markis Kido-Hendra Setiawan. The Indonesians were the winners over Kien Keat-Boon Heong in the final of the SEA Games in Vientiane last month. Kien Keat-Boon Heong open their campaign against another Indonesian pair, Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki-Rian Suk*ma*wan. “We normally play better in our second tournament back-to-back but we are skipping the Korea Open next week, so we have to see how things goes. We will aim to get into at least the semi-finals,” said Kien Keat. National No. 2 Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif-Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari are heading for a second round battle with former top national pair Choong Tan Fook-Lee Wan Wah unless they lose to 2005 world champions Howard Bach-Tony Gunawan of the United States. Super Series Masters Finals women’s singles champion Wong Mew Choo also has a tough draw as the unseeded Malaysian can expect to play against world champion Lu Lan of China in the second round. Lydia Cheah opens against second seed Wang Lin of China while Julia Wong, making a return after a six-month layoff because of a torn knee ligament, has an opening match against SEA Games gold medallist Salakjit Ponsana of Thailand.
