Conversion from singles to doubles is always possible, Tian Bingyi, Christian Hadinata and Tan Yee Khan were all very good singles players.

Conversion from doubles to singles is probably not possible, the closest I've seen is Razif Sidek and Park Joo Bong. Razif won the Commonwealth Games bronze and Park was runnerup is Korea Open once, losing to Misbun. Too much space to cover, just look at how Lee Yong Dae got confused .....

I thought PSH played decently in doubles, though I agree WCH is better. Then again, WCH started in doubles until Commonwealth Games 1998.

According to either BAdzine or BWF website, PSH was some juniors doubles champ in 2002. He's just rusty aft so many yrs of not playing MD.

Would that be one of the reasons some of our BJSS players are trained in both disciplines nowadays - MS & MD or WS & WD. Arif still plays both.
So, to 'convert' isnt that hard for those who used to play doubles in their junior days.

There's also combination of MS, MD & XD, which is rare - Voluntus Indra did that but of course not in same tournament. He played MD with Arif & won some satelitte tourney in Iran.

Eagle,

What I mean is, to convert and be a world beater after conversion. Singles to doubles is possible, doubles to singles is not likely. Probably due to the different fitness regime needed.

Though in the 80s, Li Lingwei and Han Aiping (two ex-Women's Singles World Champs) combined together to win Women's Doubles. But even they do not stay long in doubles.

Juniors are expected to play all disciplines, then coaches will determine what suits them best .....

Dear Abedeng,

SBBJ players are trained to play in both singles and doubles. They will participates in both events in the tournament that they took part.Most of them are able to achieve success in their events. Some even merge as champions for both.

KKK used to be a single player before he was picked to play doubles. He can still play.. it would be great if Lee Yong dae vs KKK in singles ehheh

Dear ants,

I do not think that Malaysia team will field him as a single player in the major tournament. Maybe in friendly game.

The Junior are trained in both but some are identified at very young. Its is difficult to be good at both.

yeah, that would be fun. both will be playing singles with a doubles mindset.
