    And one more question.
    Arif, Razif, and Zakry, they're siblings (Abdul Latif Bros.)?

    YES, Zakry=25=oldest of the 3, MD specialist. Razif =23 according to one BCer who knows them, MD & XD. Arif =19, MS specialist => the Abdul Latif brothers.

    They have a sister in back-up squad, her age between Arif & Razif, forgot her name, she was Zakry's XD partner in Penang Open.:D

    Btw, why you asking?? To compare with Indonesia players??

    I see. Thank you for the answer.
    Abdul Latif's sis, you mean Nairul Suhada?:)

    It's nothing important. Just curious, since they have exactly similar last name.

    So, not only INA have siblings in the national team (Kido, Bona, and Pia). MAS has it too.:p

    Plus, during Penang Open, I saw many players having similar surnames, e.g:
    Mohd. Roslin Hashim,
    Muhd. Hafiz Hasim (these 2 we know well),
    Muhd. Hafifi Hashim,
    Mohd. Hafizi bin Hashim,
    Muhamad Hashim, and
    A'amar bin Hashim.
    :eek::eek::eek:

    Anyone of them is brother of Roslin & Hafiz?

    Badminton / Taiwan Open: Roslin, Lydia check into final

    By K.M. Boopathy

    2008/09/14

    LYDIA Cheah produced her best effort in grand prix tournaments so far when she battled to the final of the Taiwan Open while veteran Roslin Hashim (pic) also advanced to the men's final in Taipei yesterday. Lydia, who has never advanced past the preliminaries of grand prix events before, continued her gallant run with a 21-17, 14-21, 21-12 victory over Chiu Yi Ju of Taiwan in the last four.

    Lydia will take on India's Saina Nehwal, who easily defeated Pia Zabedah of Indonesia 21-7, 21-14, in the final today.

    Roslin was also forced to work hard for a 21-17, 16-21, 21-19 win over Vietnam's Nguyen Tien Minh but the former will not complain as he has a chance to claim another international title in the twilight of his career.

    Roslin had won the Swiss and Japan Opens in 2001 and then waited six years to claim his third -- the Vietnam Open -- but he will not have it easy in the final today.

    Top seed Simon Santoso of Indonesia, who himself is in search of a first international title, defeated Netherland's Eric Pang 21-16, 21-15 to advance to the final.

    National singles coach Rashid Sidek, in a telephone interview from Taipei, said Lydia's aggression was the difference against Yi Ju.

    "Lydia was aggressive and attacked from the start to gain the advantage. However, she made several unforced errors in the second game but recovered well in the deciding game," said Rashid.

    "Lydia has nothing to lose against Saina and if she can reduce the unforced errors, she has an equal chance of securing the title."

    Rashid felt that Roslin will not have it easy against Simon who has the edge in terms of fitness and skills but didn't rule out another giant-killing act from the Malaysian.

    Meanwhile, Malaysia's fine run in the men's doubles came to an end as both Razif Latif-Tan Wee Kiong and Hoon Thien How-Ong Soon Hock crashed out in the semi-finals.

    Razif-Wee Kiong lost 21-19, 21-14 to top seeds Mathias Boe-Carsten Morgensen of Denmark while Thien How-Soon Hock lost 21-14, 22-20 to Indonesian-American combination Candra Wijaya-Tony Gunawan.

    Unfortunately, Lydia was not able to edge out Saina to win her 1st GP Gold title. But this is her 1st runner-up in GP Gold, hope Lydia gets more International exposure in future to gain experience.

    It is a good run for Lydia and it is hope that BAM will give her better exposure. It is a good performance right after winning the Vietnam Satellite and now the finalist of Taiwan Open.

    Train harder and be more consistence,then she will be there with Saina

    Lydia Cheah spending much time at her studies, and less time at her Badminton

    .
    If not for Lydia Cheah spending much time at her studies (school), and less time at her Badminton training, I am sure she could/would perform much better.

    Badminton / Taiwan Open: Back-up pairs impress in Taiwan

    By : K.M. BOOPATHY



    [​IMG]
    Razif Latif (right) and Tan Wee Kiong have a very bright future ahead of them.

    REXY Mainaky’s decision to expose back-up pairs to the international scene has given momentum to the national doubles squad and the latest results from the Taiwan Open is testimony of the potential these players possess.


    None of the senior pairs were in action at the Taiwan Open and early round exits were expected from the back-up pairs but to their credit, they proved otherwise and staked strong claims for further exposure.

    Two pairs — Razif Latif-Tan Wee Kiong and Hoon Thien How-Ong Soon Hock — have stood out and, not surprisingly, both made the semi-finals in Taiwan.

    Razif-Wee Kiong, who focused on the mixed doubles last year, are only playing in their third competition as a pair and their latest results should see them improve their world ranking from 86th into the top 60.

    It is their second semi-final appearance after having reached the same stage in the Singapore Open in June and Rexy has already seen plenty of potential in this combination.


    Thien How-Soon Hock also reached their second straight semi-final which they also did in the Indonesia Open.

    The other back-up pairs who played in Taiwan are Asian Junior champions Mak Hee Chun-Teo Kok Siang and Khoo Chung Chiat-Tan Bin Shen who lost in the first and second rounds respectively.

    There are two other combinations — Goh Wei Shem-Ong Jian Guo and Chan Peng Soon-Lim Khim Wah — and they have been entered for the upcoming China Masters on Sept 23-28 and the Macau Open on Sept 30-Oct 5.

    Rexy said it is important to focus on the younger combinations early so that they will have enough quality pairs to support Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong and Zakry Latif-Fairuzizuan, who look to be the only senior combinations who will be part of the 2012 London Olympics programme.

    “We have to expose them so that they will have enough experience when the London Olympics comes around. The back-up pairs have been showing good progress and have a lot of potential,” said Rexy.

    “It is also good to see that they have been pushing the seniors in training and also in local tournaments.

    “A couple of years ago, the seniors would win hands down but it has become tougher for them to beat the back-up pairs. Some have even beaten the seniors and this is a very healthy situation,” Rexy has already said that Choong Tan Fook-Lee Wan Wah are not part of his future plans and the veteran pair will serve as sparring partners for the next six months. The Gan Teik Chai-Lin Woon Fui combination could also be dropped.

    The current situation looks to be ideal for Razif-Wee Kiong and other back-up pairs to grab their opportunities, make quick progress and become quality pairs, and eventually challenge the seniors for a place in the London Olympics.

    Badminton / Taiwan Open: Hopes for double dashed
    By : K. M. Boopathy




    [​IMG]
    Roslin Hashim lost to Simon Santoso 21-18, 13-21, 21-10.

    ROSLIN Hashim and Lydia Cheah’s hopes of making it a double for Malaysia in the Taiwan Open fizzled out in contrasting ways in Taipei yesterday.

    Roslin, who was looking forward to his fourth grand prix title, battled hard but couldn’t stop Indonesian top seed Simon Santoso from securing a 21-18, 13-21, 21-10 victory in the final.

    It was also Simon’s first career international title after having failed in the final of the last two Super Series events, the Singapore and Indonesia Opens, in June.

    Lydia, 19, was undone by the first-time jitters as she failed to put on a decent effort against second seed Saina Nehwal of India losing 21-8, 21-19. It was Lydia’s first appearance in a grand prix final and the inexperience was evident yesterday where the Malaysian’s game was littered with unforced errors which made things easier for Saina.

    There was some hope, though, in the second game when Lydia played aggressively and took a 13-8 lead but errors started to creep in which allowed her opponent to snatch the initiative and race to a straight-game win.


    It was Saina’s second grand prix title after her success in the 2006 Philippines Open where she beat another Malaysian, Julia Wong, in the final.

    National singles coach Rashid Sidek, in a telephone interview from Taipei, said that Lydia succumbed to nerves. “It was Lydia’s first big final and she was tense from the start. She couldn’t control the game at all and made too many unforced errors,” said Rashid.

    “Lydia was more adventurous in the second game where she played more aggressively and was deceptive. However, she just couldn’t keep the error rate down even when leading 13-8 and this cost her victory.

    “She must cut down on unforced errors. If she keeps conceding easy points, then it will be tough for Lydia to perform consistently.”


    Meanwhile, the Indonesian-American combination of Candra Wijaya-Tony Gunawan’s title drought continued when they were beaten 22-20, 21-14 by Denmark’s Mathias Boe-Carsten Morgensen in the men’s doubles final.

    Taiwan’s Chien Yu Chin-Chen Weng Hsin secured the women’s doubles crown when they beat Indonesia’s Rani Mundiasti-Jo Novita 21-16, 21-17. Weng Hsin was earlier denied the mixed double title with Fang Chieh Min losing 14-21, 21-11, 21-19 to Devin Lahardi-Lita Nurlita of Indonesia.

    Go Lydia, next time you can make it & Win one.
