Who will be the MAS No.2 Mens Singles player in 2011?

[Bugsy]

Iskandar is another potential. Given proper guidance he will shine but where would it come from? The only hope in BAM right now would be under Hendrawan. As for Zulfadli, he has 1 very big problem = stamina. This was always discussed among his dad and those BJJS coaches during the Asian Juniors Championship. These 2 players together with LWS are the future flag bearers.

Saw him (Iskandar) play against Tian Houwei in 2009 AJC final. His lack of stamina has got to do with the way he plays. He has the talent no doubt, but he lacks the patience to slowly win the points off his opponent. His aggressive style of play is taking a toll on him if his opponent has a good recovery and defence. In the end, he gets tired himself and start to lose confidence.

For me, I think......
Tan Chun Seang (25 this year)
Chong Wei Feng (24 this year)
Liew Daren (24 this year)
Chan Kwong Beng (23 this year)
Mohd Arif Abdul Latif (22 this year)
Goh Soon Huat (21 this year)......

Maybe has to add LWS......

TCS is too injury prone, not much time for him to catch up..the rest..talented but lack the mental strength, probably it is time take them out from Rashid's stable put them under a different coach for a different approach.

We are now talking about future MAS Mens Singles players with hot prospects.

Actually, I was talking about;
'Who will be the MAS No.2 Mens Singles player in 2011?'.

Exactly, which is why we must go back to my point
Loh Wei Sheng shouldn't be included now precisely for that reason!

No disrespect to Hendrawan but I`m sceptical as his ability as a coach......he might have been a world class player during his prime but coaching is a different field as he is still unproven. Speaking about that, I sincerely hope that he`ll prove me wrong

Hendrawan did produce The 2008 Olympic Bronze Medalist, Maria Kristin Yulianti

Fair enough then

To be on topic, what do you think the outcome of msian GP in determining msian #2 MS player?

The results from the Malaysian GP cannot give a fair indication of who is the No.2 MAS MS player.

Why? If the 2nd best MAS player happens to face LCW in the Round 1 (or in any Round), I am quite certain that he cannot make his presence in the next Round.

Meanwhile, Selvaraj said a player from the back-up squad will likely be promoted to the elite squad to replace Hafiz Hashim, who resigned from the national squad on Jan 31.

"Hendrawan (national back-up coach) will recommend one of his players for possible promotion after the National GP Finals and I will present the name to the coaching and competitions committee (which meets on Feb 23) for approval," said Selvaraj.

From that article, it says;

The Proton National GP Finals start in Kuala Terengganu on Thursday.

Looks like we will find out more, later from this thread, located at;

However, I would think that the MAS No.2 MS player won't be a newly promoted player.

even in the 1st match of the tournament
crowd might feel iskandar is tired/out of gases
thats his style.
what he personal answer is,he is nervous
no big match temperament like lcw

Looks like Iskandar has only one plan of action/tactics - Attack and Attack; and Win in 2 games (say 30-40 minutes).

If ever a 3rd game is required, perhaps Iskandar may as well resign after Game 2.

Kwong Beng wants to earn right to play Chong Wei in final

http://thestar.com.my/sports/story.a...282&sec=sports

PETALING JAYA: It is almost a certainty that Lee Chong Wei will pick up an eighth men’s singles crown in the National Circuit Grand Prix Finals in Kuala Terengganu from Feb 18-21.

So, the more interesting question is who will be his opponent in the final?

His sparring partner Chan Kwong Beng is determined to earn that right.

The national back-up player reached the semi-finals last year and he is determined to go one better this time.

In the absence of Wong Choong Hann and Mohd Hafiz Hashim, the field is wide open between the players in Group B and D as to who will eventually face world No. 1 Chong Wei in the final.

Chong Wei should crusie past Kuan Kam Chung, Muhd Syawal Ismail and top junior Loh Wei Sheng in Group A and qualify for the semi-finals.

The fight to see who will meet Chong Wei in the semi-finals should be between Tan Chun Seang and Chong Wei Feng from Group C, which also comprises Muhd Hashim and Woon Kok Hong.

And Kwong Beng is relieved that he is not in Chong Wei’s path.

Kwong Beng is in Group D with Mohd Arif Abdul Latif, Goh Soon Huat and Soong Joo Ven.

The winner from Group D will play the winner from Group B, comprising Liew Daren, Lim Fang Yang, Zulfadli Zulkifli and Tan Aik Quan.

“It will be a short-lived draw for those in Group A and C as the chances of making it past Chong Wei is slim. He is on a different level compared to the rest of us now,” said Kwong Beng, who qualified as the top ranked shuttler thanks to his win in the Kedah Open last year.

“I am relieved to be placed in Group D as this opens up the possibility of making it to the final.

“The chances are there but it is still hard as the standard between the rest of the back-up players is very close.

“My initial target is to win the group to reach the semi-finals first.

“My toughest matches should be against Mohd Arif Abdul Latif and Goh Soon Huat.”

The other leg of the national circuit last year was in Perak, which Chong Wei won.

from past, CHN, INA, JPN juniors playing in WJC and AJC can dominate when promoted to senior especially in MS event
while MAS cannot, we normally produce more quality from MD....

Strange, isn't it?

Why is MAS not able to maintain its strength (in the Mens Singles) from the junior to the senior level?
