chong li qun represent klrc? wow didn`t know kuan beng hong? he`s much much senior...he was even in the thomas cup in the edition the previous edition year where he lost the deciding singles to joachim perrson from denmark...anyone recall? =)
hmm...i think the number is not ranking lar...^^...hmm...yes...lfy won bronze...beating chong li qun,chan kb
chan kb beat fang yang in the group stage.. it think their standard is pretty close, its the matter of performing on the day itself.anyone could win on their day. chan kb even beat wei feng n fang yang in straight sets in the group stage but lost to them in straight sets in the individual games. my personal opinion, the juniors not consistent enough?
so kuan beng hong is not a junior.... no need rate him.. still he showed some improvements in the recent singapore open
hmm...chong wei feng and tcs should be on same level...arif was two years younger...not fair to compare...give him half year...he will be better...
The Star Online > Sports Monday July 7, 2008 Joy for Lydia, but it’s heartbreak for Wei Feng KUALA LUMPUR: It was heartbreak for men’s singles shuttler Chong Wei Feng but Lydia Cheah finally landed her first senior international title at the Vietnam Challenge in Ho Chi Minh City yesterday. Back-up shuttler Wei Feng was on the brink of winning his first international title outside of the country when he took an 11-4 and 20-17 lead in the rubber game of the final against top seed Nguyen Tien Minh of Vietnam but the Malaysian Satellite champion went down 21-17, 10-21, 24-26. Sweet victory: Lydia Cheah defeated Hung Shih-han of Taiwan to win her first senior international women’s singles title. Team manager How Kim Tho said in a telephone interview: “It should have been Wei Feng’s day but he ended up with a heartbreaking defeat. “He lost a little focus after the interval of the deciding game and found difficulties to adapt to the draught in the hall. “Tien Minh enjoyed good support from his home fans and it was encouraging to see Wei Feng putting up a great fight.” Lydia finally got rid of her choker’s tag in the women’s singles final, beating Taiwanese Hung Shih-han 22-20, 21-15. Malaysia also won two other titles through Hong Chieng Hun-Ng Kean Kok and Lim Khim Wah-Ng Hui Lin in the all-Malaysian men’s doubles and mixed doubles finals respectively _________________________________________________________________________ Congrats to all our MJs for their performance in 2008 Vietnam International Challenge. Esp to Lydia Cheah & LKW/NHK for their 1st International title at senior level. Something to start with. And to Chong Wei Feng for fighting it out with Vietnam's Nguyen TM.
