To summarise, the Proton Open did not disclose anything we did not know : Singles: 1. LCW is still the Malaysian Jaguh 2. Hafiz is ahead of Choong Han (2nd and 3rd) 3. KBH, YKB, James Chua are still wanderers (not contenders) 4. Project 2010-2012 players are still far behind (lacking mental strength) Doubles: 1. KKK-TBH are clearly the Malaysian Jaguh 2. Chong Ming-Thien Hoon play good sometimes 3. OSH-TBS - still a 'bit' team but capable of growing up 4. Farizuzuan-Lin - now become 'so so' combination Only LCW and KKK-TBH will give Malaysia a possibility of titles this year. The rest will just make up the numbers.
I agree it will be hard on LCW but the guy is capable on his day, if he wants it real bad. At the end of the day, there is a lot of motivation with the big dollars - one win and it is worth anywhere from US$15,000 to US$24,000 (a year's pay for some Malaysians). KKK-TBHs' bank accounts would expand this year for sure. I think it was very clever of RExy to split KKK from Chong Ming to team with Boon Heong. This is the 'DREAM TEAM' for Malaysian doubles. To be successful, one must 'want it badly'. One has to be so dedicated. Hafiz had it for a while and lost it (so easy to lose it when your bank account is full). LCW had it and is still hanging on but I think he also got sloppy after being successful early last year.
yea we can depend on LCW n KKK/TBH for titiles this year but both still need to imporve especially their mental strength. hope that they n others too will deliver after this, all players can rest well n may those who are sick and injured recover quickly for AE
yeah..i'm from terengganu.even i just stay nearby ,still cannot go to watch 'em..examination is killing me!!huhu
be poor n win..... yeah, i agree that the price money is the main target for most of the player to win the competition except for AE or WC, where for some, honour is more important than price money. TH wanted to win Asiad so badly even though the price money is very little or none. for me i'll go for the money......and when i have had enough, i'll go for the honour.
