True. But BAM can be very 'persuasive'. Hope ZZ can prove that non-national badminton players can make it without BAM, that is if BAM wouldn't try to jeopardize his chances to play overseas, like they did with Gan Teik Chai/Tan Bin Shen. This morning my dear dad has new BAM victim to his tirade, general manager Mr. Kenny Goh. I swear our dining area is becoming a kopitiam. Now my auntie is joining the lets-blame-BAM discussion since she visiting/staying at our house for a week now. She doesn't even play badminton...
It is very interesting to follow.. It is probably good with more sponsors like in Penang etc. that compete to help players. http://www.bam.org.my/index.php?opt...iring-juniors&catid=46:latest-news&Itemid=181
Yup, Viktor start in the competition is quite shaky though. I guess its just normal. And ZZ's confidence has been good so far.. However, i hope he doesn't underestimate other player though. Take 1 match at a time before thinking of wanting to meet VA..
2011 WJC: VA and ZZ moved into Round 4 without problems . VA and ZZ moved into Round 4 without problems. .
Zulfadli faces a tough opponent and familiar face in the SF, Momota Kento. He defeated Kento in the semi-finals of the AJC back then. However, Kento seems to be playing very well here. Let's see what Zulfadli can pull off in order to attempt to win a ticket to the finals. This is the sternest test yet for him. Viktor Axelsen meanwhile faces Verma Sameer, the AJC runner-up to Zulfadli. He is expected to defeat Verma convincingly.
That indian guy had play with LCW before if im not mistaken.. Got some experience in international tourney as well and his game play is not bad too.
Nope, Verma Sourabh is Sameer's brother But Sameer is a good one. Hope he upsets Viktor although it is almost impossible, haha. But I would be satisfied as long as Zul reaches the final...
Yes, Congratulation for the history making,.........Malaysia have been waiting for this for so long !!
Woah!!! He beat Axelson!! And I really thought Axelson would win the entire tournament being so young and winning a set of Gade.... This Malaysian kid really got good future, hope he can catch up to LCW
Wow, I am very impressed with this kid. Syabas! Keep it up. Well done! Amazing feat achievements so far!
Congrats to Zul for being Msia's 1st WJC champ in MS! By beating the fav & defending champion Victor A

Does anyone know what racket ZZ used this WJC? He was using Ashaway, but i read he was switching to Li-Ning when they sponsored KLBA? http://www.bam.org.my/index.php?opt...iring-juniors&catid=46:latest-news&Itemid=181
