PASANGAN UTAMA TEWAS DI KL OPEN

Aku pon sedikit hairan bagaimana pasangan utama kita boleh tewas kepada pasangan muda yang baru digandingkan. Cara permainan mereka memang tersangat rendah mutunya dan boleh dilihat pada keputusan semalam. Sepatutnya sebagai pasangan seniur mereka harusla menunjukkan satu standard yang jauh lebih tinggi memandangkan banyak pelaburan telah disumbangkan kepada mereka.

Amat menyedihkan........

KUALA LUMPUR: It was a horrible day for the country’s top three men’s doubles pairs on Saturday.
World No. 5 Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong were served with an ultimatum once again – to deliver at the back-to-back Denmark Open (Oct 15-20) and French Open (Oct 22-27) or expect a split.
Two others – Hoon Thien How-Tan Wee Kiong (world No. 13th) and Lim Khim Wah-Goh V Shem (world No. 16th) were dumped in the semi-finals of the Kuala Lumpur Open at the Kuala Lumpur Badminton (KLBA) Stadium in Cheras by younger scratch pairs.
Kien Keat-Boon Heong were the top seeds in the ongoing KL Open but they withdrew because Kien Keat wanted a break to prepare for his wedding.
In their absence, second seeds Thien How-Wee Kiong and third seeds Khim Wah-V Shem were expected to battle it out for the title but their runs ended prematurely on Saturday.
Thien How-Wee Kiong were shocked 12-21, 14-21 by Chooi Kah Ming-Teo Ee Yi while Khim Wah-V Shem’s hope to end their partnership on a high note ended with a 15-21, 16-21 defeat to Ow Yao Han-Teo Kok Siang.
Khim Wah and V Shem will be given new partners after the KL Open.
Meanwhile, in the men’s singles, hopes for an explosive semi-final match between top seed Chong Wei Feng and Misbun Ramdan Misbun ended in a whimper when the former scored a convincing 21-16, 21-9 win to reach the final.
Said Wei Feng: “I lost to Ramdan for the first time at the National Grand Prix Finals in Kedah last year. Then, he was aggressive and his attacking was on the mark. Today, I felt that he had slowed down a little.”

Wei Feng will take on back-up shuttler Chong Yee Han, who continued his gallant run by defeating compatriot Tan Kian Meng with a hard-fought 21-18, 15-21, 21-10. Kian Meng had beaten Liew Daren a day ago.
