Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong (MAS) [5] def. Chen Hung Ling/Lin Yu Lang (TPE) 21-10, 22-20 (24 minutes) They will face the winners of the match H Hashimoto/N Hirata (JPN) vs. M Kido/H Setiawan (INA) [4] in the Quarterfinals.
With LCW and KKK/TBH won their game, can Ah How and Zakry go through and make it a clean sheet for MAS? the Japanese always our bogeymen and no push over. I can only hope the best. Ah How jia you!!!
I have not been following international badminton for long. But I must say the level of unprofessionalism here is mind blowing. One off case is forgivable. A habit is blood boiling. With all due respect to Chinese badminton talent and their contribution to sport of badminton, just wondering if China (or for that matter any big sporting country) would be able to do similar thing in say swimming or athletics. BWF sure is spineless.
didnt you know that even in olympics swimming relay, USA sent the reserve team in the early rounds to qualify and the main team to grab the gold in the finals? why, because they can. simple as that.
