That was interview with Hafiz in Berita Harian entitled " Hafiz sasar aksi separuh akhir Terbuka India"(Hafiz targets Semi finish in India Open). The 80% is Hafiz's perception.[FONT="][/FONT]
Exactly. I would prefer it if they wouldn't "warn" them in the first place. What's the point when everyone knows there is no one else currently to fall back on anyway? Although a few of the juniors have made some progress lately...
Let me just ask you all a question. How did LCW made a breakthrough at the age of 22 when he won the Malaysia Open? Was he given more exposure than the current junior batch or he did it with pure talent.
Pls see for yourself, the tourneys LCW played in prior to the MO 2004 win : http://internationalbadminton.org/player_info.asp?playerid=50152 Take note how far or not far LCw went in 2002, 2003. Compare that to 22 y.o.(or 21++) Chong Wei Feng : http://internationalbadminton.org/player_info.asp?playerid=52030 Not that much difference eh? CWF even won an International Challenge when he was 20 in 2007. The continuation of this discussion will be in the "Msia back up" thread
He won over Chen Hong in semifinal, if i'm not mistaken. That was stunning! And he never turned back. The exposure given to Yeoh Kay Bin, his other teammate is the same, but he failed to prevail. I must say, pure talent helps. Very much.
i dont think HH will ever make a comeback...mada mada dane ( for KBH...i really hope that he can make a comeback..fight-o )
Thanks, that's pretty interesting. I only started following badminton late 2005 (unless you count the 2004 Olympics) so I didn't know about any of this. I guess I shouldn't lose hope in any of the younger players too early then .
2009 India Open: Chen Long defeated Lee Chong Wei in Round 1 . Oh no, but Congratulations to Chen Long ... Long CHEN [CHN] defeated [MAS] Chong Wei LEE [1] 7-21, 21-16, 21-18, in 50 minutes. It's all up to Taufik Hidayat now... to get to the Finals by himself. .
And he said in his blog he hope to have dinner with Chong Wei again like what they did like in Switzerland. They are friends.
Malaysia Boleh; Lee Chong Wei - MS WR1 Dewasa ini kita saling merayakan Kejayaan yang akhirnya membinasakan Apalah gunanya kematangan fikiran Bila di jiwa kita masih lagi muda Dan mentah Ku lihat hijau .... The above is the lyrics for the song, Hijau by Zainal Abidin. Any fans of Zainal here?? Just had my lunch - McD takeway (cheese burger/fries & coke) and heard Hijau being played on the radio. A simple, lovely, meaningful and well written song. Ahhh ... the India Open badminton. Hmm ... first round, eh?? Chen Long - who was it here in this forum that told me that em' Chinese are having some shortage of quality shuttlers in their junior/back up squads???? Cant wait for our CWF or that Liew Daren guy to send LD packing in the first round. Anyway, back to serious business .... First round. India Open. Chinese junior shuttler. I believe this is just a one off. I mean LCW have been away from home for sometime. He must be fatigue or homesick by now. It is not easy being away from home, travelling, living out of a suitcase, pressure from fans at home, NSC, Sports Minister etc. What is important is that he won the SO. And this India trip enabled him to experienced the local indian cuisine, sights, shopping which will gear him up nicely for the coming WC. I hope Boleh fans wont throw away their drums and trumpets with this early first round exit. Lets continue to support LCW in the name of Malaysia Boleh. As per Zainal's hijau .... Oh..anok-anok tokleh meghaso mandi laok Besaing,maing ghama-ghama Ale lo ni tuo umurnyo bejuto Kito usoho Jauhke dari malapetako Ozon lo ni koho nipih nak nak aghi Keno make asak Hok biso wei,pasa maknusio Seghemo bendo-bendo di dunio Tokleh tehe Sapa bilo-bilo
Lee Chong Wei and Taufik Hidayat are good friends . Yes, they are good friends ... Always getting together for dinners at every tournaments they participate in. I won't be surprised that LCW will now try to help TH on how to win the 2009 India Open. .
