Thomas Cup Semi Final Result – Malaysia vs China 3 – 2
Malaysia Lost!
Lee Chong Wei and our second double Zakry Abdul Latif Mohd and Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari Mohddid a great job! They both beat Zhongbo Xie and Zhendong Guo in straight set. 17-21, 15-21. I was disappointed with Koo Kian Keat / Tan Boon Heong double pair and Hafiz Hashim too. They should score a point for Malaysia. Once again after 16years Malaysai still cannot get back the Thomas Cup =(
I purposely took leave to watch this 4years once Thomas Cup and support Malaysia but it really disappoint me. Hafiz Hashim should have perform much better, he was leading in both games but in the end he lost concentration and focus. He should run more and play seriously. I feel like he was slacking and just play for fun! That’s bad!
