TWK looks quite shot. How tall is he? Has he won any tournaments? Most of the Malaysian juniors look shot and small in size to me.
Chun Seang and Kwong Beng are going to Thai Open.. NST 20/06/07 However, the tournament will provide back-up players Tan Chun Seang, who won the Vietnam Challenge and Singapore Satellite last month, and Chan Kwong Beng to make an impact on the grand pix event.
hmm... i think they can pull a few upsets in thai open... hope they can topple those chinese players like chen jin, cheng hong etc.. haha.. all the best malaysian juniors..
thailand open: tan chun seang facing chen jin in first round.. i dunno how many times they've met each other before, but i just remember world junior championships in vancouver where chen jin and gong weijie beat tan chun seang and lim kenn..
All the best to Tan Chun Seang. I like that guy. So fun to watch. Even an INA Junior fan like me can appreciate fun talents like Chun Seang...
He's happy recently, got his own room.. Other players still share room, but he, Chun Seang, managed to move into a single room after begginng their manager daily for 3 months.. Lmao..
I think this is the first time? Daren said so also. Chen Jin bt Lim Kenn in WJC with the err..quite fainting score *suicide* So, GWJ bt TCS?
Hmm... Chun Seang vs Chen Jin... Who should I go for? hahah.. And yeah, congrats to TCS for getting his own room. LOL
Badminton: Rashid’s faith in Kwong Beng pays off CHAN Kwong Beng (pic) was once branded an indisciplined player but 2010-2012 Project squad coach Rashid Sidek has dismissed the allegation. In fact, Rashid says Kwong Beng is probably the most talented back-up shuttler at the moment. Kwong Beng, 19, was the top ranked shuttler in Bukit Jalil Sports School until 2005, twice a national junior champion and a quarter-finalist at the Asian Junior Championships. Despite that, Kwong Beng was hardly considered for tournaments last year and was surprisingly left out from the squads to the Asian and World Junior Championships. Discipline and lack of talent were often the excuses but Rashid retained his faith in the shuttler and sought his brother Misbun’s help to guide Kwong Beng and his three mates — Lok Chong Chieh, Zairul Hafiz Zainuddin and Syed Akhbar Syed Mustakim — in March. Kwong Beng accepted the opportunity to spar with national seniors Lee Chong Wei, Hafiz Hashim and Kuan Beng Hong under Misbun and the results were immediate. Kwong Beng, who was not considered for any tournament since last November, reached the semi-finals of the Vietnam Challenge and the final of the Singapore Satellite where he lost to eventual champion Tan Chun Seang on both occasions. Kwong Beng was ranked World No 431 before the two events but his unexpected performance saw him leapfrogging to World No 166. Rashid said he never doubted Kwong Beng’s dedication and the latest results have proven that the shuttler remained stagnant due to limited opportunities, not because of indiscipline. "If I were to send my squad members for any tournament, Kwong Beng’s name will be the first one I’ll enter as he is a dedicated player. I was surprised to hear that he was indisciplined and lacked talent," said Rashid. "If he is not good enough, he wouldn’t have improved so drastically in just three months." Kwong Beng’s reward is a chance to compete in the Thailand Open, which will be held on July 3-9, where he will be playing in the qualifying rounds and is also expected to get selected for the Philippines Open on July 17-22.
Oh yeah? Is it the first time.. Icic, happy fighting, Monyet.. LMAO, Ee Lyn, I'm questioning myself that too.. Huhuhu..
hmm.. hope chuan sheng can stund chen jin although he is the top seed.. haha.. how bout the others?? who will they meet??
Actually, Chen Jin did beat Tan Chun Seang in World Junior Team Championships 2004. 15-2, 15-11 source : http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/player.aspx?id=6194&player=252 but that was a long time ago.... I'm sure TCS has made strides of improvements since then. TBBMBB(N)
