Any special deal for this? Is there any discount if I were to buy tickets for the whole week's matches. What about BF members or senior citizens? Any Malaysians here who can check if the Ministry of Tourism in Malaysia is launching any tourism Thomas/Uber cup 'Visit Malaysia Special'?

[ants]

Lee Hyun Il / Seong Mo played doubles.. meaning is that Korea really have confidence that they can beat Macau. And at the same time can let their new singles player get some exposure.

refresh my memory, i remember Kim seriously injured her knee (torn a ligament) during the WC? looks like she is recovered.

[seven]

Yes, Kim Kyeung Ran seems to be back to competition :
She is also down for the Swiss Open in march and probably for the All England Open though I haven't seen the list of entries yet...

She really needs to race for points if she wants to secure her place in the olympics...

HK versus Thailand should be a very interesting matchup.

But I'm very interested in knowing who Zheng Yu Min is. Does anybody have any info on him? Is he HK's rising star? According to worldbadminton.net, has hasn't played any international competition in the last year and a half. What is the reason why it's he, and not the more experienced player like Tam Lok Tin or Lam Hoi Tak who always get pencilled in to play HK's 2nd doubles with Yohan Wiratama.

BTW, has Yau Kwun Yuen retired? (sorry I mean Yau Tsz Yuk. I'm just so used to calling him Yau Kwun Yuen) .

Zheng Yu Min is the former Chinese double players.I think he is more than 30 years old now.Zheng Yu Min/Huang Zhan Zhong ever were the chinese top double players.But he is serious injured in his top form and retired too premature.

Do Indonesia automatically make it to the finals coz they won last year or because they are hosting?

[wl2172]

Yes Matt, Indonesia are automatic qualifiers by virtue of being host.

That's another big win for Wong Mew Choo!!! (probably the biggest she ever achieved up to now)

[wl2172]

That's not entirely correct, she beat Kanako once before as well. 2 - 1 in favour for Mew Choo, but she has yet tp prove herself with the girls from China.

Anyway, well done to her.

Not quite correct.

Indonesia qualifiy for Thomas Cup as they are 2002 winners and 2004 hosts.

Indonesia qualifiy for Uber Cup as they are 2004 hosts.

China qualify for Uber as they are 2002 winners.

Zheng Yu Min (Fujian provience) has been Hong Kong's Men's Doubles coach for the last few years. He is a former International Doubles player for China.
He immigrated to Australia at one stage. He suffered a heart attack during one Thomas Cup in Hong Kong.

[edwin]

Who won between HK and Thailand? Was Zheng Yu Min required to play 2nd Doubles in that match up?
