Zulfaldi is with KLRC, as announced in the press. But he should be under the development program, since he still needs to go the school. It depends on terms that Zulfaldi's dad agreed upon with KLRC.

Unfortunately a little inconvenient for Singapore fans to support the tournament as it ends on Friday. Especially for working adults who may be able to find time to visit Johor on Sat and Sun, non-working days for most in Singapore. :(

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.

Hafiz and Beng Hong up against the enemies from within



KUALA LUMPUR: Singles shuttlers Mohd Hafiz Hashim and Kuan Beng Hong are in vulnerable positions as far as their status in the national team is concerned.
They are among the senior players whom the back-up shuttlers will be out to scalp in the Johor Open, which begins tomorrow in Johor Baru.
However, top seed and world number one Lee Chong Wei is expected to continue his domination in the local circuit without much problems.
Unlike Chong Wei, the Beijing Olympics silver medallist and six-time national champion, both Hafiz and Beng Hong have nothing much to shout about this year.
Hafiz’s best efforts were quarter-final appearances in the Danish Open and the Asian Championships (ABC) while Beng Hong showed slight improvement by making it to the quarter-finals and semi-finals of the Opens in Singapore and Macau respectively.
One of the country’s top back-up players Tan Chun Seang is hoping to clear his opening match against Beng Hong. Both players have received first-round byes.
“On paper, Beng Hong is the favourite. I lost to him twice before. But I will try to score a first win against a senior player,” said Chun Seang, who is one of the players under the 2012 London Olympics programme.
“This is one of the worst years for me. I have not even made it to the quarter-finals of any tournament. A win will be good for my confidence.”
If Chun Seang clears his first hurdle, he is expected to go all the way to set up a match against Chong Wei in the semi-finals. In his last encounter with Chong Wei at the final of the National Grand Prix Finals in Alor Star, Chun Seang lost tamely.
“I will know where I stand by playing against Chong Wei,” he said.
“Coach Rashid (Sidek) has given me another chance by naming me in the new squad (the 2012 London Olympics) and this time, I will do my best to narrow the gap with Chong Wei.”
The other back-up shuttlers in the same half of the draw with Chun Seang are Chan Kwong Beng, Vountus Indra Mawan and Lim Fang Yang.
The second stringers expected to give second seed Hafiz trouble in the other half of the draw are Liew Daren, Lok Yik Siang, Chong Wei Feng, Lok Chong Chieh and Mohd Arif Abdul Latif.
The non-BAM players, who could ruffle some feathers, are Zulfadli Zulkifli of Selangor and Kuala Lumpur’s Chong Li Qun.

（吉隆坡）國家羽球隊一姐黃妙珠坦承目前正陷入低潮期，她將在打完接下來的最後4站超級系列賽之後，利用1 2月的休整期治療膝蓋舊傷。
京奧無牌人生失去目標
她說，止步北京奧運會女單8強，無法實現奪牌心願，她感覺心中的火焰仿佛熄滅了，人生頓時失去努力的目標， 再加上膝蓋舊傷惡化，手肘也感疼痛，提不起勁，因此在日本和澳門公開賽皆止步16強，這讓她感 到失望。
她說，運動員最怕的就是病來磨，膝蓋舊傷的惡化確定對她造成很大困擾，北京奧運會之後她無法進行系統訓練， 只能進行局部訓練，這在很大程度上影響了她的訓練質量，導致這3個月來成績出現下滑。
“我本來想放棄澳門公開賽，但想到自己是頭號種子，簽運也不錯，就想放手一搏，但在傷勢困擾下我幾乎打完首 局就累了，難給對手對抗。”
兵敗日本澳門後忍痛訓練
她說，她自兵敗日本和澳門公開賽之後，進行自我撿討，並在教練的開導下逐漸釐清了方向，目前又開始頂著疼痛 咬緊牙關進行全面的苦練，希望能在最後4站超級系列賽爭取佳績，以免影響世界排名。
黃妙珠目前世界排名第9，她接下來必須在中國公開賽蟬聯冠軍，同時在法國公開賽至少取得4強資格，才可保住 目前的排名，否則積分將會遭大幅度扣除，世界排名也會跟著跌。
法國公開賽盼打進前四
她說，去年她奪得中國公開賽冠軍和大馬公開賽亞軍，同時也打進法國公開賽和亞錦賽4強，今年她的表現起伏不 定，只在大馬和新加坡公開賽闖進4強，因此她希望通過未來4站的超級系列賽爭取佳績，以便重拾 信心。
“重新找回狀態和信心是很重要的，但我的舊傷也不能再延遲治療，我將利用12月沒有比賽的空檔治療傷勢，包 括注射再生細胞（注射後需休息3至4天），目前有比賽要打，沒有時間休息，所以訓練和比賽都是 用撐的。”
黃妙珠將放棄12月在柔佛舉行的全國賽，而去年胎死腹中的超級系列賽總決賽今年如果復辦，她也 選擇棄賽。
盼和佩嫻麗雅互相開路
同時，眼見兩名師妹黃佩嫻和謝麗雅近期在公開賽有所成績，前者奪得澳門公開賽亞軍，後者則是台灣公開賽第2 名，黃妙珠坦言她很高興，感覺現在的大馬女單就像中國女隊一樣。
“姑且不論她們奪亞軍的賽會是不是缺少高手參賽，但拿到成績確實讓她們提昇了不少信心，未來在訓練和比賽時 都會更有自信，這是好事，以後出去比賽我不會再孤身上路，至少我和她們將可互相開路和推動，就像中國金花團 一樣，朱琳不行還有盧蘭，盧蘭不行還有王琳和王儀涵可靠。”

Badminton: Junior pairs step up to the plate in Johor Open


By LIM TEIK HUAT


PETALING JAYA: Two things became clear when the dust settled in the Johor Open badminton championships on Friday.

Firstly, world No. 1 Lee Chong Wei has no peers when it comes to singles action. It is hard to see anyone challenging him in the near future.

Secondly, the race for honours in the men’s doubles event is wide open. And here is where the excitement lies.


Johor Baru proved again to be a happy hunting ground for veterans Lee Wan Wah-Choong Tan Fook, who overcame a 14-18 deficit in the rubber game to beat Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong 19-21, 21-18, 21-19 in the final.
http://www.thestar.com.my/archives/2008/11/16/sports/s_p58wanWah.jpg Still going strong: Choong Tan Fook and Lee Wan Wah claimed the men’s doubles title in the Johor Open, but not before surviving a fright from the junior rivals.


Wan Wah-Tan Fook had won the Asian Badminton Championships title for past two years at the same venue.


But it wasn’t all plain sailing for Wan Wah-Tan Fook and Kien Keat-Boon Heong, who had to dig deep into their reserves to overcome thier junior opponents in the last eight.


Tan Fook-Wan Wah scrapped into the semi-finals with a 21-16, 16-21, 21-17 win over Mohd Razif Latif-Tan Wee Kiong while Kien Keat-Boon Heong were almost shamed by Mohd Arif Abdul Latif-Vountus Indra Mawan.


Kien Keat-Boon Heong, who will be defending their title in the National Grand Prix Finals in Alor Star next month, had to rely on their experience to pull through 16-21, 21-18, 24-22.


Last year’s World Junior Champion*ships bronze medallists Goh Wei Shem-Ong Jian Guo gave further proof of the abundance of doubles talent available in Malaysia when they packed off current national No. 1 Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari-Mohd Zakry Latif 21-15, 21-19 in the quarter-finals.


World junior champions Mak Hee Chun-Teo Kok Siang also proved their credentials with a 21-23, 21-13, 21-19 quarter-final win over former top national pair Chan Chong Ming-Chew Choon Eng.


The junior pairs have thrown down the gauntlet to the seniors, who must now be aware that they cannot continue to take their places for granted.


The juniors’ performances must have brought smiles to doubles head coach Rexy Mainaky as he starts planning for next year.


There are five or six national back-up pairs waiting on the sidelines and they are bound to improve with time.


Doubles coach Rosman Razak said the junior pairs had benefited from the joint training sessions with the elite squad.


“They are fast learners and were able to keep up with the fast game played by the seniors.

“It is a healthy development as we have depth in the doubles department,” said the former national doubles player, who added that it was good to see a competitive streak in the national circuit.


“We will only be worried if one pair keeps dominating. But the juniors should not be satisfied with what they have achieved.

“They are familiar with their team-mates’ styles but it is different in overseas competitions. That is where they must aim to prove themselves.”


And the China Open starting on Wednesday will be the perfect stage.


Nine Malaysian pairs are competing in the penultimate round of the Su*per Series calendar. Besides Kien Keat-Boon Heong and Fairuzizuan-Za*k*ry, the others are Wan Wah-Tan Fook, Chong Ming-Choon Eng, Ong Soon Hock-Hoon Thien How, Razif-Wee Kiong, Tan Bin Shen-Khoo Chung Chiat, Chan Peng Soon-Lim Khim Wah and Hong Chieng Hun-Wong Choong Hann.


The other junior pairs will compete in the Malaysian International Challenge in Kota Kinabalu from Wednesday.
