Expected semis match-up between Malaysia and Indonesia on 7/12/2003:
1st singles: Wong CH vs Sony Dwi Kuncoro
- An exciting opening match. Will be a touch-and-go encounter but based on surrent form, Wong CH should give Malaysia a headstart.
1st doubles: Choong/Lee vs Luluk/Alven
- Choong/Lee will win.
2nd singles: Roslin Hashim vs Simon Santoso
- Another potential close match. Simon has scalped several big names this year and Roslin could be his next victim if he takes it easy. A 50-50 match.
2nd doubles: Chew/Chang vs Markis/Hendra
- Both are weak pairs. So, also a 50-50 match.
3rd singles: Lee TS vs Wimpie
- Skill and experience wise, Lee TS is far ahead but his match temperament is a big question mark. However, judging on his past team event record, Lee TS could rise to the occasion.
Prediction: Malaysia should win with 3-2 score. Wong CH's victory will virtually seal the tie for Malaysia.
