[ina_for_china]

not a threat to the chinesse.....
i can say that they're 3 level below the chinesse no 4 pair DU/YU,,,,and cannot compare at all to chinesse top wd

[blazingchaos]

they are quite a new pair and still young. ina for china i hope that even though you may be from china (As what it seems) or you like the chinese team... pls stop insulting players from the other countries. i dare say that yes china's dominance is great in badminton but this is a game of mental toughness and sportsmanship.. im sure all the china players have that and respect their compatriots from all over the world. so please. no offence. but i hope that you would also respect the players from the other countries.

[Dreamzz]

yup agreed, he or she is getting annoying ... being supportive is one thing, but trashing other players is another.

dont forget they did give some trouble to GL/HS in Asian Games 06 before losing 20-22,17-21. i believe they can improve more and be on par with the top pairs. yea i agree with blazingchaos and dreamzz. we as supporters must respect others and be careful with our words.:cool:

[JaCk™]

yup agreed, he or she is getting annoying ... being supportive is one thing, but trashing other players is another.

agree. sooner or later, let's see someone getting banned..

[emmsfan]

They are not one of the best, true.
But they try their best, that's what's important.
They made up for the 2 first round exits in the Malaysian and Korean Opens by making history to get into the AE semis by beating a pair they haven't beaten for a couple of years.............
And they tried their best to beat Yang Wei-Zhang Jiewen too.
THEY ARE DA BEST!!!!!

agree.i like their fighting spirit.i have watch a few of their videos including the one against YW/ZJW. they really gave their best. and i think that they are very hardworking too.they requested personally to rexy to spar with the men after their lost in MO and KO.and they had improved after that as shown in AE. i was impressed that they beat TPE though eei hui was injured. all the best to them :)

[JaCk™]

Cheah Soon Kit needs to produce more woman's doubles. We cannot always rely on CEH/WPY everytime. they will feel the pressure and lack of quality sparring partners for them.

Injuries make Eei Hui-Pei Tty doubtful starters for ABC
By LIM TEIK HUAT
KUALA LUMPUR: A day after the draws were made, the Malaysian women’s pair of Chin Eei Hui-Wong Pei Tty have emerged as doubtful starters for the Asian Badminton Championships (ABC), which will be held in Johor Baru from April 10-15.
Eei Hui is nursing an ankle injury she suffered in the Swiss Open in Basel last month while Pei Tty is undergoing treatment for pain in her thigh muscles.
In the Swiss Open, the world number six pair conceded a walkover to the Swiss combination of Elin Bergblom-Johanna Persson in the second round.
National doubles coach Cheah Soon Kit said that Eei Hui had been undergoing treatment for the last two weeks.


Despite their current condition, the duo still attend training at the Gymnasium II in Bukit Jalil.
“They have consulted the doctor at the National Sports Institute (NSI). Eei Hui’s movement at the ankle is still restricted. And now, Pei Tty is also having problems with her thigh. The chances of them taking part in ABC is not that good,” said Soon Kit.
However, he will wait until the weekend to decide on whether to withdraw the pair from the tournament. The Malaysian players will begin leaving for Johor Baru on Saturday.
“I will get a final opinion from the doctor and also have to talk with the other coaches,” said Soon Kit.
Pei Tty is also down to play in the mixed doubles, partnering Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazary.
In the doubles, Eei Hui-Pei Tty are the second seeds behind Taiwan’s Cheng Wen-hsing-Chien Yu-chin. But it will not be easy for them to live up to the billing.
In their half of the draw are the unseeded Chinese scratch pair of Yang Wei-Zhaotingting, who won the Swiss Open title, and two Japanese combinations – Ogura Kumiko-Shiota Reiko and Matsuda Tomomi-Akao Aki.
Eei Hui-Pei Tty became the first Malaysian women’s pair to reach the semi-finals of the All-England last month.
If Eei Hui-Pei Tty are unable to play in the ABC, they will have to wait for the Super Series to resume next month with the Singapore Open followed by the round in Indonesia.

[cheeyf]

i think they better skip ABC if not yet fully recovered.
the more important thing is get well and be fully fit for singapore and indonesia open as olympic qualification begin there.hope they get well soon. they are so hardworking. still train despite their condition. all the best to them

a podium finish...^^...

[abedeng]

Good result in Thailand, but Chin Eei Hui, whether thru injury or not, still commits a lot of errors. She really has smashing power, but not the staying power when the game goes to rubber ......

If we had a pair made up of 2 Wong Pei Ttys, then the pair would have been really solid and equal to TPE, INA and KOR best pair, if not CHN. Right now, the only really challengers to CHN pairs are those 3 TPE/INA/KOR pairs.

[Jo-ann]

Congrats to them !! they won Denmark Open 2008 yday !! hoo hooo !! Congrats girls..

[abedeng]

Our top WD pair has done pretty well since Chin returned from injury. 3 finals and 1 title in 4 months of competition is pretty good form.

Although my personal opinion is that they should have won 2 of the finals instead of just 1, they missed the Japan SS title due to bad starts in the 1st and 3rd games.

But we are still too overly dependent on them in WD. Unlike WS (where we have Julia Wong and Lydia Cheah backing up Wong Mew Choo), there is no credible 2nd pair yet after 6 years although Woon Khe Wei/Ng Hui Lin are being groomed in that direction, assuming that these youngsters do not specialize in XD only.

agree with abedeng, indeed wpt/ceh has improved a lot since OG.. very sayang that they missed winning JO just by 2 points. anyway it is good that they have won DO now n have created history for MAS WD. hope that this success is the beginning of more success to come. wong/chin proved that they still have what it takes to beat top players like vita/natsir and also can compete with upcoming youngsters fr CHN n Indo. really hope that they will play together untill OG maybe if can.hehe. hope that WKW, NHL,Sabrina will close the gap to ease their burden. so proud of Wong/Chin.

i though today will see their success reported on news but 4got that is deepavali today. have to wait for tomorrow then.:cool: Congrats Wong/Chin

Who would expect WMC won the Chinese Open with chopped down CHN top women players at their homeground?

Btw, they manage to beat the lower level of INA pair.:D:D

[eaglehelang]

Btw, they manage to beat the lower level of INA pair.:D:D

Dato', you forgot, they beat INA's no 1 WD, Lilyana/Marissa during this yr's Japan SS. ;):p:p And I agree with Abedeng, they could have taken the Japan title if not due to all those unforced erors they gifted the young China WD.

Badminton: Eei Hui-Pei Tty get rid of chokers’ tag with Danish Open crown


By RAJES PAUL
KUALA LUMPUR: The top national women’s doubles pair of Chin Eei Hui-Wong Pei Tty neither rolled on the floor nor jumped high for joy after winning the Danish Open title on Sunday. But the smile on their faces said it all.

They had finally nailed their first Open title in six years with a 23-21, 21-12 victory in 32 minutes over a scratch Indonesian pair, Rani Mundiasti-Jo Novita, in the final in Odense.
http://thestar.com.my/archives/2008/10/28/sports/s_58chin.jpg Huge relief: Chin Eei Hui (right) and Wong Pei Tty defeated Indonesia’s Rani Mundiasti and Jo Novita to clinch the women’s doubles title in Denmark.

It was a big achievement, considering that their previous best were only runner-up finishes €” at the Dutch and Indonesian Opens in 2005 and the Thailand and Japan Opens this year.

Pei Tty was glad that they had finally got rid of the chokers’ tag but said that they were not overcome by emotions of joy after ending their chase for an elusive Open title.

“I think we have lost so often that we did not how to celebrate,” said Pei Tty in jest in a telephone interview from Odense.

“We did not show much emotion but it was one of the most happiest days for us. Finally, we won our first Open title after coming close a few times over the last six years.”

The effort was worth US$16,800 for the duo and it was the biggest prize money won by them since forging a partnership to play in Open tournaments in 2002. Their previous wins were in multi-sport Games €” at the 2005 Manila SEA Games and 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games.

On Sunday, though, the world number 10 almost blew it in the first game and Pei Tty attributed it to nerves.

“The top Chinese and South Koreans did not compete and everyone had a shot of winning it. We had a good chance but we made so many mistakes in the first game. I think there was fear of letting the title slip through our fingers again,” she said.

“We were trailing 17-20. Fort*u*nate*ly, we did not give up and fought our way back to win it. We played more confidently in the second game.”

Pei Tty thanked the team of coaches under the charge of Rexy Mainaky. Since a first-round defeat at the Beijing Olympics in August, Pei Tty and Eei Hui have been training full-time with the men’s doubles players.

“We want to thank the coaches for the guidance and continued faith in us. We also do not want to forget our former coach, (Cheah) Soon Kit, for guiding us for the most part of our careers.

“The win is worth all the sacrifices that we have put in,” she said.

On their chances in the French Open, which begins tomorrow in Paris, Pei Tty said: “China have their top pairs but we do not know whether they will show up in Paris. But we will try to be consistent.”

Pei Tty-Eei Hui are the fourth seeds and they are likely to meet Rani-Jo again in the second round. In their half of the draw are second seeds Vita Marissa-Lilyana Natsir of Indonesia, China’s Zhang Yawen-Zhao Tingting and Japanese Aki Akao-Tomomi Matsuda.

Rexy gave Eei Hui-Pei Tty a big pat on the back for their breakthrough performance in Denmark.

“This win is important for Eei Hui and Pei Tty. It will give them a lot more confidence to continue with their efforts to win honours for the country,” said Rexy.

“It will also motivate the other women players. I am also happy to note that the coaches in the men’s doubles department are working together as a team to help these players.”

The coaches in the team are Pang Cheh Chang, Rosman Razak, Chang Kim Wai and Jeremy Gan.

wow i think is funny pei tty say that “I think we have lost so often that we did not how to celebrate,” said Pei Tty in jest in a telephone interview from Odense. hehe. i tot they will jump in joy but they didnt. anway of course they fell very happy with that win and so do we mas fans. hehe.

glad to know that wong/chin still remember to thank their old coach, Cheah though he is not coaching them anymore. so sweet. i think Cheah is proud of them too. good that they train full time with MD now n the time under Rexy and Pang is beginning to show results. hope for more good news from them.

honestly lucky that wong/chin won the DO title after KKK/TBH n others failed to live up to expectation. save mas from d blushes

[abedeng]

I glanced thru their last 3 finals video, the highest quality match was the Thai Open Final. Wong/Chin were competitive until at 11-12 in the rubber game, when their game collapsed suddenly (or maybe the former Olympic Champs went to overdrive).

Yup, agree with Sealman, they should smile more often. Wong Pei Tty almost always looks tense .....

[cheeyf]

ya agree with both of u. they seldom smile.maybe cos too concentrating in their game. nway they r nice. if u take pic with them sure they giv a big smile.haha.

they dont dare to smile la..they ever won the sea game gold medal?hmm..gud luck to them also..everyday read newspaper to see their current result..rtm1 nowadays dun wan to show the matches le..last time every matches will have..ee..hate la..

they've been playing well this pair....better than ever....perhaps finally winning a major title has boosted their confidence...

I think WPT/CEH will be ranked #6 after the French Open.

Their runners-up @ French Open will earn them 7800 which will replace one of those 3600 pts.

Great match yesterday, even better than Thai Open final. I didn't expect Wong/Chin to be able to play that well and almost upset the World No 1 pair, but in the end fate and lower fitness levels decide that it was not to be. Can't complain though, in terms of skills, mental preparation and determination, our girls did not lose out to the Olympic Champs.

Hopefully they can play even better in China and HK.

Yeah. They should have won the 2nd game when leading 19-17. Well, they were just too tentative and the Olympic Champions were just too tough.

I suppose you could say that, but then they should have lost the 1st game and didn't ..... Tentative or not, getting 2 pts out of the Olympic Champs is much tougher than getting double that no of pts out of other pairs ......

Amazing fitness, the CHN WD squad has. Something that their WS counterparts do not share ..... :p

[cheeyf]

ya they should have won g2.what a waste. so near yet so far. but then wasy 4 us to day hard for them who play. hmm. nway i am proud of them though they lost but they gave their best. they really improve a lot. hope they do well in CHN n HKG.want them to be consistent and climb the world ranking

Eei Hui-Pei Tty hailed for ability to think outside of the box

KUALA LUMPUR: It has been an extraordinary two weeks in Europe for the top national women’s doubles pair of Chin Eei Hui-Wong Pei Tty (pic).


And national coach Rexy Mainaky attributed their achievements in winning the Danish Open followed by a runners-up finish in the French Open to their ability to think outside of the box.

In Paris last Sunday, the world number eight showed plenty of variety in their game plan and they came close to beating Olympic champions and world number one Du Jing-Yu Yang of China in the final. They went down fighting 22-20, 19-21, 11-21 in a one-hour battle.

A week ago, they won the Danish Open title in Odense and it was their first success in an international Open tournament.

Their performances brought renewed respect of their status as a top 10 pair in the world.

Rexy was happy that Eei Hui-Pei Tty had improved on the way they map out strategies to trap their opponents.

“I did not do much on their skills. Their techniques and skills had been honed by (Cheah) Soon Kit (their previous coach). I helped them to be more open in their approaches,” said Rexy.

“There have been a lot more discussions after training sessions. They are not rigid with the way they play like before. But the notable difference that I see is that both are really enjoying the game. It shows in their face and body movements.”

Rexy plans to give the duo a break from competition by withdrawing them from the Johor Open from Nov 11-14. Instead, he will continue to work on their game in preparation for the Opens in China (Nov 18-23) and Hong Kong (Nov 25-20).

On the performances of the men’s pairs of Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong and Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari-Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif in the Danish and French Opens, Rexy said: “They did not win the titles but Koo and Tan showed some positive signs in the way they played.

“I will be talking to Fairuzizuan-Zakry on their inconsistent performances.”

Pei Tty-Eei Hui lambang kebangkitan wanita
Oleh Ahmad Khawari Isa
ahmadkhawari@bharian.com.my

'KUASA' wanita sudah ketara menjelma dan Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM) bingkas mahu melakukan segala yang terdaya untuk terus menjulangnya.

Jika pemain lelaki jadi sandaran sejak sekian lama, situasi tampak mula berubah dengan dua Siri Super terakhir - Terbuka Denmark dan Perancis - menyaksikan hanya beregu wanita negara berjaya ke perlawanan akhir.

“Apa dilakukan Wong Pei Tty dan Chin Eei Hui adalah antara langkah mula untuk kita menyaksikan lebih ramai pemain wanita negara memberi cabaran bermakna di peringkat saingan tertinggi.

“Semuanya bermula apabila Wong Mew Choo memenangi Terbuka China, tahun lalu. Ia memberi keyakinan bahawa pemain-pemain China yang sekian lama jadi kuasa utama, bukannya tidak dapat ditundukkan,” kata Setiausaha Kehormat BAM, Ganga Rao.

Pei Tty-Eei Hui jadi lambang terbaik terhadap meningkatnya keyakinan itu apabila menundukkan pasangan berpengalaman, Zhang Yawen-Zhao Tingting untuk mara ke final Terbuka Perancis.

Malah pada aksi final, kelmarin, kedua-duanya sudah di ambang kemenangan ketika bertemu juara Olimpik, Du Jing-Yu Yang tetapi dipaksa akur kecundang dalam saingan tiga set yang sengit.

Pei Tty-Eei Hui juga sudah menamatkan kemarau gelaran utama apabila memenangi Terbuka Denmark, seminggu sebelumnya.

Selain Mew Choo dan gandingan Pei Tty-Eei Hui, turut mula mencipta hormat lawan di pentas antarabangsa ialah Julia Wong Pei Xian yang tahun ini berjaya mara hingga ke final Terbuka Macau.

“Sebelum ini, mungkin penekanan terhadap pemain wanita nampak kurang kerana jumlahnya yang terhad. Tetapi sejak kebelakangan ini, penekanannya sama, dengan BAM juga memberi tumpuan khusus kepada peningkatan pemain-pemain wanita,” kata Ganga.

Ia terbukti apabila BAM menyenaraikan 18 pemain wanita buat program Sukan Olimpik 2012 - dengan sasaran pingat daripada mereka tertumpu kepada acara beregu wanita dan campuran.

Top pair skip Johor Open to allow Eei Hui’s injury to heal

By RAJES PAUL


KUALA LUMPUR: Women’s doubles top seeds Chin Eei Hui-Wong Pei Tty have decided to skip the Johor Open, which begins tomorrow in Johor Baru.


And Eei Hui will use the one-week break from competition to allow a painful ankle to heal.


After enjoying a great two weeks in Europe, Eei Hui-Pei Tty are looking at continuing their good run in international tournaments at the China Open in Shanghai from Nov 18-23.


Eei Hui-Pei Tty nailed their first Open title in Odense, Denmark, two weeks ago. And in the French Open in Paris last week, they went down fighting to Olympic champions Du Jing-Yu Yang of China in the final.


Their good performances in Europe saw them moving three rungs to the fifth spot in the latest world rankings.


Eei Hui said that a short break would do them good ahead of the China Open.
http://thestar.com.my/archives/2008/11/10/sports/s_pg62eehui.jpg Great run: Chin Eei Hui and Wong Pei Tty won the Danish Open two weeks ago and were the beaten finalists in the French Open last week.


“I twisted my ankle during training before the trip to Europe. I had to take a lot of painkillers and fortunately, it did not affect my game too badly,” she said.


“My ankle is now swollen. It is not serious but it is best to stay home to polish up on our game rather than pushing ourselves in the Johor Open.”


Eei Hui is happy that national doubles chief coach Rexy Mainaky would be staying back too to spend more time preparing them for the China Open in which they hope to reach at least the semi-finals.


“We have several new Chinese pairs in our path to the semis. We cannot underestimate them because new talent from China are certainly no pushovers,” she said.


Eei Hui-Pei Tty are the second seeds in the tournament and there are five unknown Chinese pairs in their half of the draw — Chen Zhuo-Wang Yan, Deng Yuting-Tang Jinhua, Xie Jing-Zhong Qianxin, Wang Siyun-Zhang Jinkang, Hu Minyu-Ying Chun Liu.


Skipping the Johor Open will mean that Eei Hui-Pei Tty will not have sufficient points to qualify for the National Grand Prix Finals in Alor Star. And it will be the third consecutive year that they will not feature in the premier domestic championships.


In their absence, two new combinations — Ng Hui Lin-Goh Liu Ying and Woon Khe Wei-Sabrina Chong — will have a chance to nail their first local women’s doubles title.

But who are LHJ/LKJ or the Chn 'top' pairs?They are already showing signs they are on the decline.
CEH/WPT have always been solid.Their main problem was the lack of self belief.Also, they have changed to a safer if longer 3G strategy;take the G1,'rest' to conserve energy while draining opponent energy during G2 and go all out in G3.In the past when they couldn't win in 2, they usually had nothing left for G3 so they lost.It's a safer strategy against strong WD but unnecessary for weaker WDs.

No, not really. For the 3 game strategy to work, they must always win the 1st game.

In Japan, they lost the 1st game and eventually the final. In the French Open, they almost made it in 2. So I don't quite agree with it being strategy.

Against strong opponents, CEH/WPT have a better chance winning using the 3G strategy. If you look at the stats of their 3G matches in CO2,they took G1, hibernated for G2 and stormed for G3.For this to work, they have to use 60% energy for G1, 10% for G2 and 30% for G3.
Today, they looked like they underestimated CHN WD and decided they could take them out in 2, paying the price for it.
Whoever takes G1 always have one more option: let go G2 if cannot match opponent for 3 games in stamina. CEH/WPT has stamina to deliver their shots for 2.5 games. So they can rout weaker(meaning less skilled) opponents in 2 but they 'd be more successful to use 3G for stronger opponents.
Even LHJ/LYD used 3G against HHB/YY yesterday but more to conserve energy for LYD's MD match against MAS.

hmm.i dont agree with the 3g strategy 2.if they win g1, they are safer n hv at least 2 chance(g2 n g3) to win d match,if they purposely lose g2, they will oni have one chance 2 win d match which is in g3

been reading some interesting things here.. this is the first time i've heard of the 3g strategy...why bother to let the games reach the 3rd set on purpose. any athlete would be crazy to do that... win the 1st set... tire the opponents on the 2nd then lose/ or conserve energy (?) on the second set then take the 3rd set by storm

and against strong opponents? come on.. if the opponents are really strong..what makes them sure that they will get the first match..and if the opponents are really strong ( China, Korea wd) i bet their stamina is as good as the two Malaysian girls..

the only strategy/ option they should have is to give it their all and be consistent. Win it as fast and as hard as they can..fight for every point.

Wong/Chin just made too many unforced errors and lost to a more determined pair named ZYW/ZTT. Furthermore, it's always not easy to beat a Chinese pair/player in China.

Hmmm, this result shouldn't be surprising at all, C/W beat Z/Z very narrowly in French semis (11-21, 21-16, 18-21) and Pei Tty said it was the first time they were playing against the new Z/Z partnership which gave them the edge to squeeze past them.

So this is only their second encounter, which will make it a very open match still and I doubt either pair is more confident than the other. If there is anything certain, it should be celebrating C/W's consistency for getting into 3 back-to-back SS' finals. :)

Badminton: Gloomy days ahead when top shuttlers call it a day
By : K.M. BOOPATHY
Email to friend Print article


Women’s doubles Wong Pei Tty (right) and Chin Eei Hui are probably the most consistent Malaysians at the moment.



AS China's back-up players were embarrassing several big names in the just concluded China Open Super Series in Shanghai, our second liners were resigned to do battle in the lesser known international challenger event in Kota Kinabalu.

Arif Latif has yet to sparkle.

Malaysia did win three out of the five titles at stake but the sorry state of our future prospects explains Malaysia's predicament and gloomy days when the current crop of top shuttlers call it a day.

Kuan Beng Hong started his career in the junior ranks with World No 1 Lee Chong Wei and Hafiz Hashim but to see him winning his first international title at a satellite event is baffling.

What is more disturbing is that younger players like Chong Wei Feng, Tan Chun Seang, Arif Latif and Chan Kwong Beng are hardly in the same class as Beng Hong which means the BA of Malaysia (BAM) must treat this issue seriously.

BAM received a major boost when the government approved a RM24 million proposal to build a national training academy in Cheras but more importantly, the national body must look at the talent pool and plan ahead to fill the vacuum which will be left when the current batch are through.
China used to be in a similar predicament with only Lin Dan their true match winner while the likes of Bao Chunlai and Chen Jin regularly caved in due to pressure.

But now China have their young legion waiting in the wings and some have already started making an impact. This group have been impressive in all but the men's doubles.

Qiu Yanbo, Du Pengyu, Wen Kai, Gong Weijie and Zhou Wenlong competed in the recent China Open and there are other back-up players including Chen Long and world junior champion Wang Zhengming at China's disposal in the men's singles.

Yanbo has taken Chong Wei to three games twice this year while Pengyu upset Indonesia's Taufik Hidayat to reach the last eight in Shanghai.

Wen Kai upset Denmark's No 3 Joachim Persson on his way to the semi-finals.

Chong Wei himself has said that Zhengming, Lin Dan's training partner, is a player for the future.

China's women's singles have been boosted further by the presence of Wang Lin, Wang Yihan and Zhu Jingjing who are regularly beating their seniors, while Cheng Shu-Zhao Yunlei should become the dominant force in the women's doubles next year.

Malaysia's only consolation is that Chong Wei is still good for another three years while women's doubles Wong Pei Tty-Chin Eei Hui should be around till at least the 2010 Asian Games.

The men's doubles is the only department which has several promising young pairs coming up the ranks and doubles head coach Rexy Mainaky's task is to turn them into world beaters.

Even Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong are good enough for another six years while world junior champions Mak Hee Chun-Teo Kok Siang and Ong Jian Guo-Goh Wei Shem are the ones who can make it big with the right guidance.

Badminton: Eei Hui-Pei Tty won’t let top rankings go to their heads
By RAJES PAUL

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s Chin Eei Hui-Wong Pei Tty are in a rare position as the top ranked women’s doubles pair in the Super Series standings for the first time. But the duo are not about to let it go to their heads.

In fact, Eei Hui-Pei Tty have set a modest target in the Hong Kong Open, which began yesterday, even though they are the second seeds and have a good chance to reach their fourth consecutive final in the Super Series.

The top eight pairs in the standings after the Series’ 12th and final round in the Hong Kong Open qualify for the Masters Finals in Kota Kinabalu from Dec 18-21.

“It feels good to be on top for the first time but we do not want to look into our Super Series rankings too much,” said Pei Tty in a telephone interview from Hong Kong yesterday.

“Our target here is to give our best and stay focused. We will not go wrong if we stick to this approach.”

Pei Tty was happy that they have managed to maintain their consistency in tournaments. They won the Danish Open and followed up with runners-up finishes at the French and China Opens.

En route to the final of the China Open in Shanghai last Sunday, they beat one of the South Korean top pairs — Kim Min-jung-Ha Jung-eun — for the first time.

“We lost to them in one previous match and it was good to beat them in Shanghai. Hopefully, we can maintain our consistency in Hong Kong too,” said Pei-Tty.

Pei Tty-Eei Hui drew a first-round bye in the women’s doubles of the Hong Kong Open and were not in action yesterday. They are in the same half as China’s Zhang Yawen-Zhao Tingting and Pan Pan-Qian Tian.

The duo featured in the mixed doubles and had contrasting fortunes in the first round.

Pei Tty marched into the second round with Lim Khim Wah after a convincing 21-14, 21-12 win over Baptiste Careme-Laura Choinet of France to set up a meeting with the China Open champions Lee Yong-dae-Lee Hyo-jung of South Korea.

It was the end of the road for Eei Hui with Hoon Thien How. They went down tamely at 15-21, 10-21 to Zheng Bo-Ma Jin of China.

The first round of the men’s singles and doubles will be played today and Malaysia will bank on top seed Lee Chong Wei and their top three pairs — Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong, Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif-Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari and Choong Tan Fook-Lee Wan Wah for honours.

Most Improved Pair by a Mile

http://www.nst.com.my/Sunday/Sport/2415627/insidepix1
Wong Pei Tty-Chin Eei Hui (left) have been the most
consistent pair according to coach Rexy.

WONG Pei Tty-Chin Eei Hui may have lost in the semi-finals of the Hong Kong Open yesterday but there is no denying they are the most improved combination in the national doubles squad this year.
Zhang Yawen-Zhao Tingting secured a 21-13, 21-9 win over Pei Tty-Eei Hui but national doubles coach Rexy Mainaky wasn't complaining.

Rexy, in a telephone interview from Hong Kong, said Eei Hui had been playing with pain due to a sore right ankle but still managed to hold on until the semi-finals.

Pei Tty-Eei Hui had reached five finals this year and won the Denmark Open and reached another landmark when they became World No 2 on Thursday.

"They didn't play as well they did in the Denmark, French or China Opens but they have been our most consistent pair," said Rexy.
"Eei Hui has been struggling with the ankle problem and I've asked to go for an X-ray when she returns. She has proved she can play with pain unlike in the past where she just gives up.

"I will recommend they play in selected tournaments only as this will give them ample time to prepare and also win titles regularly next year.

"The top pairs from China and Korea used to take them lightly but they are aware of the threat from Pei Tty-Eei Hui now."

Pei Tty and Eei Hui may have to skip the National Grand Prix Finals in Alor Star on Dec 9-12 if the latter needs a longer rest to recover.

Their important objective is to aim for the Super Series Masters Finals in Kota Kinabalu on Dec 18-21 where they have a genuine chance of winning, thanks to their new found confidence and consistency. -- K.M. BOOPATHY

Ankle injury a big worry for doubles ace Eei Hui

KUALA LUMPUR: National doubles shuttler Chin Eei Hui (pic) will head straight for treatment on her ankle when she returns home from the Hong Kong Open.

Yesterday, Eei Hui and Wong Pei Tty failed to make their fourth consecutive final appearance in a Super Series when they crashed 13-21, 9-21 to China’s Zhang Yawen-Zhao Tingting in the semi-finals.

National coach Rexy Mainaky blamed the defeat on Eei Hui-Pei Tty, the world No. 2, playing in too many tournaments without proper rest.

“The duo’s movements were sluggish. Our physician has submitted a report on Eei Hui and her ankle doesn’t look too good,” said Rexy in a telephone interview.

“She will have an X-ray taken as soon as she arrives home.” Rexy said the four back-to-back Super Series tournaments over the last two months had also taken its toll on Pei Tty.

“The Chinese were more consistent and played well today (yesterday). In the second game, Pei Tty was not in control. In this game alone, our pair committed 16 errors,” said Rexy.

“Pei Tty is also feeling the strain of having played in too many tournaments. I will encourage my players to take a good rest.”

It is fortunate that Eei Hui-Pei Tty did not qualify for the National Grand Prix Finals, which will be held in Alor Star from Dec 9-12.

They will now prepare for the Super Series Masters Finals to be held in Kota Kinabalu from Dec 18-21.

For the record, Pei Tty and Chin Eei had gotten the proverbial monkey off their backs by winning the Danish Open in October.

They followed it up with runner-up finishes in the French and China Opens.

The Danish Open was the duo’s first title in six years.

More breakthroughs expected from world No. 2 pair

By LIM TEIK HUAT

PETALING JAYA: Doubles pair Wong Pei Tty-Chin Eei Hui can expect exciting times ahead as they seek to achieve more breakthrough performances for Malaysian women’s badminton.
Pei Tty-Eei Hui have now climbed to a career best second spot in the world rankings behind Olympic champions Du Jing-Yu Yang of China and national doubles chief coach Rexy Mainaky is challenging them to maintain their new status.
The duo not only earned five final appearances this year but also ended a six-year international title drought by winning the Danish Open last October.
http://thestar.com.my/archives/2008/12/4/sports/s_58wongpei.jpg Cracking pair: Wong Pei Tty (left) and Chin Eei Hui featured in five final appearances this year.
Playing with much more confidence and showing consistency in their game, Pei Tty-Eei Hui have now become genuine contenders each time they go out for a tournament and Rexy hopes they can keep it up.
“They are now enjoying it on court,” he said.
“They used to fear playing against Chinese, Korean and Taiwanese pairs. But this fear is no more in them. For them now, it’s like ‘bring them on and we’ll see who can last longer’.
“I ask them not to think small of themselves and encouraged them to open up their minds. They are just as good as any of the other top pairs.
“I expect them to maintain their performances into next year, which is always the more difficult part. The All-England (in March) will be the first major event to focus on next year and I hope they can achieve something.
“There is still room for them to get even better. In Eei Hui’s case, she has to focus more on strength training while Pei Tty needs more court training.”
On the Super Series Master Finals in Kota Kinabalu from Dec 18-21, Rexy said that Eei Hui-Pei Tty had an equal chance along with the other top pairs to win the title but he did not want to put too much pressure on them.
“They have played quite a lot of tournaments and they are stretched physically,” he said.
The good thing is Eei Hui-Pei Tty have ample time to get ready for the inaugural Super Series Finals, where they will feature as the top ranked pair.
They did not qualify for the National Grand Prix Finals, which begin on Tuesday in Alor Star.
“It will depend on their recovery over the next 10 days. The focus is to maintain the training but avoid doing too much movement as Eei Hui is feeling a little bit of pain in the knee,” said Rexy.

Badminton: All eyes on Pei Tty-Eei Hui

http://www.nst.com.my/Monday/Sport/2422674/insidepix1
Pei Tty (right) and Eei Hui will start the Super Series Masters as top seeds.

MALAYSIA'S strength in the men's singles and doubles is well documented but it's the women's doubles combination of Wong Pei Tty-Chin Eei Hui who could provide the cheers in the Super Series Masters Finals in Kota Kinabalu on Dec 18-21.
Pei Tty-Eei Hui have enjoyed a brilliant run on the international circuit ever since the Beijing Olympics in August which saw them rocketing to the World No 2 spot and will start the Super Series Masters as top seeds.

Besides Olympic champions Du Jing-Yu Yang of China and compatriots Cheng Shu-Zhao Yunlei, Pei Tty-Eei Hui are capable beating the other pairs in the tournament which will have the top eight pairs.

True to her nature, Pei Tty isn't thinking about reaching the final, let alone win the Super Series Masters and only wants to continue enjoying another big tournament with her partner.

"We have come a long way since the Beijing Olympics but to say we have a good chance of winning in Kota Kinabalu will be an over statement. What we aim to do is continue enjoying the competition and give it our best shot," said Pei Tty.
"This is world class event and all the eight pairs are equally good and China are definitely in the lead.

"We had a good run because we believe in our abilities and have stopped putting any pressure. The fear of losing is no more and we treat all opponents equally.

"Our consistency has improved as we are more confident now and we intend to continue being consistent. The tournament offers a different format and we just want to enjoy ourselves and put up a strong show."

Eei Hui's progress had been hampered by injuries to her ankle and knee but her participation in Kota Kinabalu will not be hampered.

Based on current form, the pair are likely to make the semi-finals and the draw will determine their chance of progressing further.

Pei Tty-Eei Hui could either meet Du Jing-Yu Yang or Cheng Shu-Yunlei in the last four and making the final will not be easy as the Malaysians have yet to beat either pair.

However, Pei Tty-Eei Hui's battling qualities will give them a genuine shot at the title and this consistency is something national doubles coach, Rexy Mainaky is hoping very much will rub off on his men's doubles of Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong and Zakry Latif-Fairuzizuan Tazari, who more often than not, are inconsistent.

wow they are the hero now,,,,,

maybe they can be world no.1 since Du Jing / Yu Yang will not coming to MO and KO superseries 2009...


but after that tourney i'm guessing how long they can survive their position in top rank since China will come in full power:
1. Du Jing / Yu Yang
2. Zhang Yawen / Zhao Tingting
3. Cheng Shu / Zhao Yunlei
4. Gao Ling / Wei Yili
5. Zhang Jiewen / Yang Wei

i can imagine the euforia if they can reach the top position and also can imagine the bashing if they were out of top 5 position :(

[RedShuttle]

It has been reported that Gao Ling / Wei Yili will be at MO and KO. The Chinese National Team will not be at either event. Since G/W are no longer on the National Team, they will participate as individuals, a la Chen Hong. G/W are praticing for the National Games, representing their home province.

Since Zhang Jiewen will move to Malaysia anyway, she may show up too. Zhang Jiewen / Yang Wei will also need to keep in shape for the National Games for their home province.

Goldsmith’s daughter looking for a glittering end


NATIONAL women’s doubles shuttler Chin Eei Hui (pic) simply loves gold. This is not surprising, however, as her father is a goldsmith.

And having a glittering gold medal hanging from her neck on the final day of the Super Series Masters Finals would cap a perfect end to the season for Eei Hui.

Yesterday, Eei Hui and Wong Pei Tty confirmed their ticket to the women’s doubles semi-final.

Eei Hui, whose father Chin See Foon owns a jewellery shop in Penang, was happy that she overcame a jittery start in the season finale of the Super Series.

“I may be an experienced player but my hands were trembling during our first match (against Kamilla Rytter Juhl-Lena Frier Kristiansen of Denmark). It was the first time we were playing as the top seeds on home soil,” said the 26-year-old Eei Hui.

“But I got my rhythm back today (yesterday). It will not be easy against our next opponents but we will give our best.”

Yesterday, they defeated the German-Canadian partnership of Nicole Grether-Charmaine Reid 21-7, 21-10 and Indonesians Jo Novita-Greysia Polii 21-12, 9-21, 21-8.

Eei Hui also said that she enjoyed training under Rexy Mainaky.

“There have been a lot of improvement in my game since training with the boys under Rexy. They play at a faster pace and we have to cope with it,” she said.

“My injuries had been a problem in the past but I am happy that my knee and ankle injuries are not giving me as much problems as before.”

Eei Hui-Pei Tty’s main target next year is the World Championships. The duo reached the quarter-finals in the last three series and hope to do better.

Meanwhile, Pei Tty’s challenge in the mixed doubles with Lim Khim Wah ended when they went down 12-21, 10-21 to England’s Anthony Clark-Donna Kellogg in their final Group B match yesterday.

Eei Hui eyes medal in New Delhi

CHIN Eei Hui's (pic) constant worries about injuries will not stop her effort to win a first medal in the World Championships with Wong Pei Tty in New Delhi in November.
Pei Tty and Eei Hui, despite the latter's injury scare, have been the most consistent pair in the women's doubles on the international scene over the last three months.

They secured the Denmark Open title besides reaching the finals of the Japan, French and China Opens and are also currently ranked World No 2.

Eei Hui, 26, just recovered from a knee injury but was good enough to reach the semi-finals of the ongoing Super Series Masters but their main target will be the World Championships.

Having reached quarter-finals of the 2005, 2006 and 2007 World Championships, Eei Hui is expecting move in the semi-finals which confirm a medal.
No Malaysian woman has won a medal in women's singles or doubles in the major event although Pei Tty secured a bronze in the mixed doubles with Koo Kien Keat in the 2006 World Championships in Madrid.

"We have failed in the quarter-finals for the last three times and our target is move one step further," said Eei Hui.

"Prior to that, we must maintain our consistency and my responsibility to focus on fitness and avoid injuries.

"The China pairs are our biggest threats and since reaching the semi-finals but tat is our target.

"If I can avoid injuries, Pei Tty and I would like to take one last shot at the 2012 London Olympics but if injuries persist, I would call it a day after the 2010 Asian Games."

Eei Hui-Pei Tty cap tremendous year with biggest title


IT is rare to see the women’s doubles shuttlers Chin Eei Hui-Wong Pei Tty show their emotions on the court but yesterday, they jumped for joy and hugged each other after nailing their biggest career title.


The duo lived up to their top billing to take the Super Series Masters Finals women’s doubles title with a hard-fought 21-15, 22-20 victory over Indonesians Lilyana Natsir-Vita Marissa at the Likas Indoor Stadium in Kota Kinabalu yesterday.


It could have been an easy task for Eei Hui-Pei Tty to pick up the winners’ purse of US$42,000. But they made life difficult for themselves and trailed 14-19 in the second game.


But known for their tremendous fighting spirit and true grit, the world No. 2 pair showed nerves of steel to make a remarkable comeback to seal victory.


With the win yesterday, Eei Hui-Pei Tty capped their most successful year of their badminton careers. They had won the Danish Open and emerged as the runners-up in the French Open, China Open and reached the semi-finals of the Hong Kong Open.
Pei Tty was happy that they succeeded in capitalising on the absence of the China pairs.


“It could have been different in the presence of the Chinese pairs. But in their absence, we knew the fight for the title was open and we stood a very good chance of winning it. We are glad that we took our chances well,” she said.


Pei Tty added that past, they would have panicked and cracked if they trailed in the crucial stages of a match.


“But not now. We have grown to be more steady in the crucial stages. We keep our emotions in check and we do not get rattled easily,” she said.


Pei Tty added that they had bridged the gap with the top pairs from China and South Korea.


“We know where we stand even though we won a major title today. We certainly have narrowed the gap but more work needs to be done to beat the top Chinese pairs consistently,” she said.


Although happy, Eei Hui said that she needed to improve on her physical condition if they are to keep up with the strong pairs in the world next season.


Eei Hui had lacked training as she had spent some time taking a break and going for rehabilitation on ankle and knee injuries.


“It has been a great year for us. But I know that I will have to work on my physical condition. I have to be fitter to complement Pei Tty better,” she said.

Eei Hui-Pei Tty get chance to head world ranking
By LIM TEIK HUAT
http://thestar.com.my/sports/story.asp?file=/2008/12/30/sports/2909688&sec=sports

PETALING JAYA: The women’s doubles pair of Chin Eei Hui-Wong Pei Tty are in for a shot to start the season with a bang in the Malaysian Open, which will be held at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil next week.

The top seeds get the chance to make history as the first Malaysian women’s pair to top the world rankings if they make the final.

Eei Hui-Pei Tty have improved considerably over the last few months to take a career best second spot in the world and they are even seen as genuine contenders to become the first Malaysian winners of the event since Rosalind Singha Ang-Teoh Siew Yong in 1964.

But whether they can achieve the success will very much depend on the physical condition of Eei Hui going into the week before the championships begin on Jan 6.

Wong Pei Tty and Chin Eei Hui will head the world's rankings if they enter the final at the Malaysian Open next week.

Eei Hui is troubled by a nagging ankle injury and doubles coach Pang Cheh Chang said that they would have a better knowledge of her condition later this week after she consults the National Sports Institute’s physiotherapist.

“The physiotherapist is still on Christmas leave and we are waiting for her to come back to get an appointment,” he said.

“It is an old injury which has acted up again. If her condition is not good and she needs to slow down, we will reduce the intensity of training to protect her ankle.

“But they will definitely compete in the Malaysian Open. The only thing is if the quality of training is lower, it remains to be seen whether they can make similar impacts as they did in recent weeks.”

However, Cheh Chang hoped that Eei Hui would have the mental toughness to overcome the problem and put up a good show with her partner.

“Injuries are common for all players at this competitive level. They were also not at their best condition in the Super Series Masters Finals in Sabah recently but showed their strongest fighting spirit to win the title. It is this type of character on court that sometimes makes the difference between winning and losing.

“Eei Hui-Pei Tty, actually, have a good chance to grab the number one spot in the world rankings as they are not lagging far behind the top Chinese pair (Du Jing-Yu Yang).

“China are not competing in the Malaysian Open and I believe that making the final should be enough to see them taking the top spot for the first time,” he added.

Eei Hui-Pei Tty will face their strongest threat, however, from former Olympic champions Yang Wei-Zhang Jiewen, who have been drawn in their quarter.

Defending champions Yang Wei-Jiewen have retired from the Chinese national team and are now on their own in the international circuit.

The other top contenders for the title include Beijing Olympics silver medallists Lee Hyo-jung-Lee kyung-won of South Korea, who are in the other half of the draw as second seeds Cheng Wen-hsing-Chien Yu-chin of Taiwan.

[Dato A]

2012 OG.sorry.haha.really hope wong/chin can win mo 09.they are my all time fav player.hehe

If they can beat the CHN pair, although not winning any medals in MO09, I think it's good result already for them.

Badminton: Eei Hui-Pei Tty targeting for All-England final
THE next big goal for Chin Eei Hui-Wong Pei Tty is to become the first Malaysian women’s doubles pair to reach the All-England final.
And the job of national doubles chief coach Rexy Mainaky is to motivate them for the task ahead.
In the Malaysian Open on Friday, Eei Hui-Pei Tty came agonisingly close to beating China’s Zhang Jiewen-Yang Wei for the first time in 11th meetings but they squandered a healthy lead to seal the quarter-final match in straight games and went on to lose 21-17, 19-21, 11-21.
Despite the defeat, the duo are expected to move one rung up to world number one in the ranking list that will be released on Thursday.
Rexy said that Eei Hui-Pei Tty blew their best chance to get the better of the 2004 Athens Olympics champions.
“If they had slowed down in the second game and played more patiently, they could have won the match. It was so close for them,” he lamented.
Rexy, however, was happy with the way the Malaysians accepted the defeat.
“Yes, they were disappointed. But this time, they knew what was the cause of the disappointment. They were able to analyse and explain their failure. I am happy with that,” he said.
“They are more positive with their approach in handling victory and defeat. And I will do my best to keep their morale high.
“They were the semi-finalist at the All-England last year. If they can keep up their momentum and spirit in training, a place in the final is possible. We will towards that.”
All the doubles players will skip the second leg of the Super Series, the Korean Open, next week to polish up their game in training. There will be a motivation camp after the Chinese New Year.

Until a few months ago, I used to think Chin/Wong would not amount to much except as an inconsistent top ten pair (which is not bad in itself). Good for them that I just got a big slap to my face. Hope they continue like this.

[RedShuttle]

I can't understand why they did not give up their XD matches to focus on beating YW/ZJW and becoming No. 1 in the world.

Not only that was their best chance of beating YW/ZJW, but also their best shot at the No. 1 ranking which they would cherish for life.

coz they know they will exactly be the world no.1 next week.....
DU JING / YU YANG must loose their point in KO last year and that would made WPT/CEH automatically world no.1.....

World No. 1 :o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o

[RedShuttle]

Okay. It looks like they are indeed on their way to become No. 1.

Congratulatons :)

[abedeng]

Their main goal is to close the gap between them and CHN pairs.

Not really about the no 1 ranking, because Wong/Chin acknowledged that they are not yet at the same level as the top CHN pairs.

[eaglehelang]

I can't understand why they did not give up their XD matches to focus on beating YW/ZJW and becoming No. 1 in the world.

Not only that was their best chance of beating YW/ZJW, but also their best shot at the No. 1 ranking which they would cherish for life.

The coaches wanted WPT & CEH to play XD - after their bad OG run, Rexy wanted them to focus more on XD but the gals proof the coaches (and many of us) wrong. WPT/CEH seem to prefer WD, they didnt want to let it go just like that after all the hard work over the years.

LKW/WPT are supposed to aim to qualify for WC this year. With the new combinations, they're Msia 2nd best XD pair, the youngsters still havent catch up with the 2 senior+junior pair (KKK/NHL, LKW/WPT) .
WPT can take playing 2 dept, but injured prone CEH i dont think so. Anyway, it was reported in the press Rexy will review if CEH should continue playing 2 dept.

[cheeyf]

yes, i did ask ceh she prefer xd or wd, she say wd. i m relli impressed by their improvement 2nd half of last year. they prove many ppl wrong. hope they will improve more this year n year to come. they wil be no 1 :)

[limsy]

the best pair in the world or not...becoming world number one is something respectable...^^...but...their mistake is like...haiz....speechless

[pjswift]

Their main goal is to close the gap between them and CHN pairs.

Not really about the no 1 ranking, because Wong/Chin acknowledged that they are not yet at the same level as the top CHN pairs.
The key difference is in the stamina and maybe the mind.Their repertoire of shots is excellent.Look how KOR WD demolished YW/ZJW in the last half of their match? Sheer change of tactics or lame CHN WD excuse of injury? If CEH/WPT lost to an injured WD, that's even worse for them.
There's nothing wrong with CEH/WPT.What's wrong is they have a dumb coach like Rexy.Until today, this guy could not analyse that to win a title, the champion has to be tops in skills, tactics and STAMINA.And if his players is in two events and their equally skilled opponents play only one,then the MAS WD is likely to lose because of stamina.(Recall how INA WD lost to MAS WD in SSF? Stamina difference?)

Both of them is actually happy that they are Ranked #1. But they know that their standard is not on par with the Chinese Pairs. Msian Gov now want to put more effort in producing more ladies players like them.

semi retired chinese is still gd n fresh.mas wd hv to play both xd n wd.tired liao. n oso ceh say that she x like play in mas cos of the home crowd. i think got pressure. she say playing in front of home crowd helps them when they play well but not when they x play well. nway the home crowd support is poor tat day when they play not like when kkk/tbh play, d whole stadium rock. i think wpt/ceh oso dissapointed maybe cos the support from crowd is not there.

[hcyong]

... With the new combinations, they're Msia 2nd best XD pair, the youngsters still havent catch up with the 2 senior+junior pair (KKK/NHL, LKW/WPT) ...

I think Mohd Razif / Woon Khe Wei is pretty good. WKW has become a much more solid player, less prone to silly errors, if what I saw in MO2009 is any indication. Razif is one heck of a fighter, they both are. I have not seen much from LKW yet, but he is still quite junior, so I'll wait a bit. Overall, the biggest progress is the improvement of the women players like WKW, NHL etc. over past the generation (where we only really have WPT/CEH).

It's never their own fault if they are ranked #1. They just strive their hardest and if the #1 comes their away even if they weren't asking for it and knew they probably did not deserve it, then so be it.

[hcyong]

Furthermore, even if the Chinese were being a little too relaxed, who else can say they are WD #1 with the Chinese juggernauts alive and kicking? You still have to consistently have the upperhand over the rest. This is exactly the same situation with LCW.

[michidan]

It's written in the newspaper as wpt/ceh will be world no 1 when the current world ranking this thurs... Bt they couldn't maintain that for another week as they weren't participate in the korea open... and for that week that will be a history that for 10 years long, this is the first time China don't have any world no 1 player in the world no 1 list for the five categories...

i think wpt/ceh are trying to get themselves to be more consistence and concentrate on the upcoming AE... they have improve so much and there's no rest for them after the olympic games... a rest now will really help them... they will prove to everyone how far they can go...we'll see how was it..

hmm... i think the xd combination between kkk/wpt was quite good... they were playing together last year after so long they've nt been practising together... bt the results were quite good... still get themselves into semi... both of them are experience players...

[hcyong]

WPT/CEH should try to overcome these factors. Even if the whole crowd is against you, you should block the negative elements out. From the surface, I think WPT is ok. Maybe CEH is more prone to these mental issues.

[RedShuttle]

CEH/WPT will be in the record book as the No. 1 pair in the world. Their No. 1 ranking is well deserved. They earned it fair and square.

Realistically, they are a solid top 6 but not in the top 3.

They should certainly celebrate their No. 1 Ranking. Maybe they will appreciate it more down the road.

One does not have to be the best to win WC or even OG. In fact, it would take just one special week to do.

The No. 1 ranking recognizes superior performance over a one-year period. It is a combination of skill level, dedication, and hard work over a year. It is nothing to sneeze at.

Eei Hui-Pei Tty hoping to make history at the All-England

KUALA LUMPUR: Their week-old reign as world No. 1 passed by without any fanfare but women’s doubles pair Chin Eei Hui-Wong Pei Tty know a real party awaits them if they can defy the odds and come up triumphant at the All England in March.

Last Thursday, Eei Hui-Pei Tty dropped to the second spot in the world standings after holding on to the number tag for a week. Taiwan’s Cheng Wen-hsing-Chien Yu-chin took over as world No. 1 following their superb win over local favourites Lee Hyo-jung-Lee Kyung-won en route to winning the Korean Open title.

Pei Tty said that the last week had been rather quiet for them.

In fact, Pei Tty and Eei Hui were more excited about the short break to celebrate the Chinese New Year with their families in Perak and Penang respectively.

“It was just another week for us. Nothing much changed,” said Pei Tty.

“I think Eei Hui and I are more calm and composed. Our emotions were all mixed up after our win at the Super Series Masters Finals (in Kota Kinabalu last month).

“Now, we have accepted the fact that we have improved and, naturally, expectations will be higher on us. There is still more work to be done before we can become be the world’s best.”

Pei Tty said their real challenge would be at the All-England, which will be held in Birmingham from March 3-8, as they expect to come up against several top pairs from China.

The China shuttlers had skipped international tournaments since last month.

“We were early round casualties last year. I do not like the idea of setting a target because it puts undue pressure on us. But my goal is to give my best at the All-England,” said Pei Tty.

The duo’s best achievement in the All-England was a semi-final appearance in 2006 — the year Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong won the men’s doubles crown.

No Malaysian women’s pair have reached the final of an All-England tournament but, if Eei Hui-Pei Tty can maintain their momentum, they may well create history in Birmingham.

[cheeyf]

wpt/ceh do not like to set targets. no wonder when i interview ceh in MO 09, she oso say they x have any target for mo. just play their best. hehe. now i knw why.

Pei Tty to team up with Fairuz again Thursday, 05 February 2009 By : K.M. Boopathy
http://www.nst.com.my/Thursday/Sport/2471202/insidepix1
This will be the second time that Pei Tty will team up with Fairuzizuan in the mixed doubles.
WONG Pei Tty is looking at playing a more serious role in the mixed doubles at least until the Guangzhou Asian Games next year but with a new partner.
Pei Tty, who was paired with Lim Khim Wah after the Beijing Olympics, will now team up with Fairuzizuan Tazari and mixed doubles coach Jeremy Gan is expecting them to make a strong impact.

In fact, Fairuz-Pei Tty will not be partnering each other for the first time as they teamed up to secure a surprise bronze medal in the 2006 Doha Asian Games.

Pei Tty had also won a bronze medal partnering Koo Kien Keat in the World Championships a few months earlier before the former was paired off with Fairuz in Doha.

This is one of many reshuffles made by national doubles chief coach Rexy Mainaky and Jeremy. Only national champions Kien Keat-Ng Hui Lin were spared.
The other new partnerships are Razif Latif-Woon Khe Wei, Chan Peng Soon-Goh Liu Ying, Tan Wee Kiong-Vivian Hoo, Ong Jian Guo-Chong Sook Chin and Khim Wah-Ng Pou Leng.

Jeremy said they needed to build up a senior pair with the 2012 London Olympics in mind and is optimistic Fairuz-Pei Tty can progress quickly given their experience.

He also expects Kien Keat-Hui Lin, ranked World No 38, to qualify for the World Championships in Hyderabad on Aug 10-16 with Fairuz-Pei Tty having an outside chance of making the cut.

"We need to have a strong and experienced second pair and that's the reason Fairuz-Pei Tty were combined. Both have vast experience and should click," said Jeremy.

"Having said that, their priority is still the men's and women's doubles but I am optimistic both will be committed to the mixed doubles.

"It will not be a problem as Pei Tty has been playing in two events regularly but Fairuz has to adapt. "They can look forward to next year's Commonwealth Games (in New Delhi) and the 2010 Asian Games to prove their worth."

Kien Keat-Boon Heong and Fairuz-Pei Tty will also be the front-runners to qualify for the Olympics while the rest of the pairs, said Jeremy, are being groomed to take over from the seniors after 2012.

For a start, Fairuz-Pei Tty will be competing in the All England on March 3-8 and the Swiss Open on March 10-15.

Razif-Khe Wei and Peng Soon-Liu Ying will be competing in the German Open (Feb 24-Mar 1) and the All England.

BADMINTON: Confidence key to Pei Tty-Eei Hui success

http://www.nst.com.my/Monday/Sport/2480826/insidepix1
Wong Pei Tty (right) and Chin Eei Hui

THE All England is the tournament in which Wong Pei Tty-Chin Eei Hui can prove that their recent run of success was not "temporary" and national doubles coach Rexy Mainaky is optimistic his charges can produce something spectacular in Birmingham on March 3-8.
No Malaysian women's doubles have made it to the final of the All England, let alone win it, but Rexy said Pei Tty-Eei Hui can achieve this if they remain confident and believe they are now a world class pair comparable to those from China and South Korea.

Being the All England, it will have a quality field led by Olympic champions Du Jing-Yu Yang and Rexy has urged Pei Tty-Eei Hui to raise their level and aim for the title.

Pei Tty-Eei Hui under-performed in last year's edition where they lost in the second round but their marked improvement will give them the opportunity to better their semi-final appearance of 2007.

"It has been a long time since all the top pairs competed and this is the challenge Pei Tty-Eei Hui must overcome. If they can turn the form book around and win, that will announce their domination," said Rexy.
"What is interesting is that they don't fear China's pairs but it is the Koreans who have bothered them.

"However, they have been confident since the mental training camp (in Kuching) last week and Eei Hui has broken the pain barrier and is willing to push even harder when she is bothered by her knee injury.

"The initial aim is to reach the final in Birmingham as that will set their momentum. It is a tall order but they have nothing to lose. This is the right time to come out of the comfort zone and aim higher."

Pei Tty-Eei Hui's victories in the Denmark Open and the Super Series Masters Finals last year were achieved in the absence of top pairs and winning the All England with a top class field is what they need to boost their career.

Their performance in Birmingham will also indicate how well they can do in the World Championships in Hyderabad on Aug 10-16.

Badminton: Pei Tty-Eei Hui must scale Great Wall for title

By : K.M. BOOPATHY (boopathy@nstp.com.my)



WO M E N ’S doubles Wong Pei Tty Chin Eei Hui will face serious threats from China’s leading pairs in their bid to capture the All England title but national doubles coach Rexy Mainaky views it as an ideal situation to cement their reputation as a world class pair.
Pei Tty-Eei Hui, theWorld No 2, are expected to meet China’s No 4 Pan Pan-Tian Qing in the second round, followed by Zhao Tingting- Zhang Yawen in the quarter-finals and Olympic champions Du Jing-Yu Yang, the World No 6, in the semis.
This is the toughest draw any pair could have asked for but Rexy said it is better to overcome such tough matches early and, if the Malaysians survive, it would raise their self-belief and more success will follow.
Pei Tty, 28, and Eei Hui, 27, have beaten all three pairs before but Du Jing-Yu Yang have a 4-1 record and the odds will be against the Malaysians in Birmingham on March 3-8.
“It is a good test for Pei Tty-Eei Hui as they must beat three China pairs to reach the final.
“This is unavoidable as they will have to beat these pairs if they want to become champions,” said Rexy.
“At their age, Pei Tty-Eei Hui cannot improve on their skills that much and all they need to do is maintain their physical condition and avoid injuries.
“Confidence is going to be the key if they want to beat China pair s.
“They have beaten them before but it must be achieved on a regular basis. Beating them in an important tournament like the All England will raise their self-confidence.
“If they can be successful in the All England, we will witness Pei Tty-Eei Hui securing more titles and establishing themselves as a truly world class pair.” Pei Tty-Eei Hui’s best effort in the All England was a semi-final spot in 2007 and they need to produce something spectacular again to better the achievement.
Rexy’s optimism is based on the fact that Pei Tty-Ei Hui, despite being on the receiving end on most occasions, don’t really fear playing China’s pairs.
Should they turn the form book upside down and advance to the final, Pei Tty-Eei Hui could meet South Koreans Lee Kyung Won- Lee Hyo Jung for the title. That will be a totally new ball game for Pei Tty-Eei Hui who have never beaten the Koreans before and Rexy may have a crucial role to play should his charges go all the way.

Badminton: Pei Tty-Eei Hui will have it easy in Basel
By : K.M. Boopathy

Wong Pei Tty (right) and Chin Eei Hui will have a hard time in the All England in Birmingham nest week.



WORLD No 2 Wong Pei Tty-Chin Eei Hui, who face a daunting task in the All England next week, can look forward to making the final of the Swiss Open in Basel on Mar 10-15 as they will not face the Chinese armada.
Pei Tty-Eei Hui's hopes of reaching their first All England final in Birmingham, which begins on Tuesday, look extremely bleak as they need to overcome three strong pairs from China -- Pan Pan-Tian Qing (second round), Zhang Yawen-Zhao Tingting (quarter-finals) and Olympic champions Du Jing-Yu Yang (semi-finals) -- but they have a relatively easier path in Basel.

South Koreans Lee Kyung Won-Lee Hyo Jung are the only pair capable of denying Pei Tty-Eei Hui a place in the final while all three combinations from China and Taiwan's World No 1 Cheng Wen Hsing-Chien Yu Chin are drawn in the top half of the draw.

The Malaysians will meet Petra Hofmanova-Sarka Krizkova of the Czech Republic in the first round and play another easy encounter against the Indian-Canadian combination of Saina Nehwal-Anna Rice.

Pei Tty-Eei Hui are likely to face stronger resistance from South Korea's Ha Jung Eun-Kim Min Jung in the quarter-finals but an upset is unlikely.
Victory will pit them against Kyung Won-Hyo Jung, who haven't lost to Pei Tty-Eei Hui in six meetings, in the semis but the Malaysian pair should be fired up to end their winless streak.

A semi-final victory would surely lift their spirits and this will help Pei Tty-Eei Hui go all out for another famous win over Du Jing-Yu Yang, their possible final opponents.

National doubles coach Rexy Mainaky said that Pei Tty-Eei Hui have found the going tough against the Koreans and sees it as a good chance to break the dry run.

"Pei Tty-Eei Hui have often given the Chinese a run for their money but it is against the Koreans that they have struggled. They are always worried playing the Koreans and this has often resulted in average performance," said Rexy.

"However, Pei Tty-Eei Hui have prepared well for both tournaments and I expect them to give a quality performance.

"The Swiss Open is also a good chance for them to end their losing streak to the top Korean pair."

Reaching the final will also help Pei Tty-Eei Hui maintain their world ranking of two but the title is what they will be aiming for in Basel.
