Went to Stadium Putra Bukit Jalil during the quarter final and semi final for Malaysia Open 2011. Quite disappointed because of Lin Dan walkover and let his team mate Chen Long quality to semi final.
It’s due to he suffered a recurrence of an old injury on his left abdominal area, but I supposed is one of the China tactic to ask Lin Dan to walkover to give way to Chen Long? Hmm just too bad can’t witness Lee Chong Wei vs Lin Dan again. It will be a great game if they were to meet up.
On friday I still can see Misbun appear as Lee Chong Wei coach. When Misbun Sidek entered into the arena, there’s thunderous applause and support from the crowds. Hope Misbun will continue to support our Malaysian players!
I’m glad that Lee Chong Wei grab the 7th Malaysia Title and hope he will continue to make Malaysia proud!
Checkout the video I posted for Lee Chong Wei vs Chen Long on Semi Finals.
Chong Wei defeats Taufik for seventh home title
Lee Chong Wei defeated Taufik Hidayat 21-8, 21-17 to win the men’s singles title in the Malaysia Open badminton championships on Sunday.
KUALA LUMPUR: World No. 1 Lee Chong Wei defeated Indonesia’s Taufik Hidayat to win the men’s singles title in the Malaysia Open badminton championships on Sunday.
Chong Wei won 21-8, 21-17 in just 35 minutes to bag his seventh home Open crown and 16th BWF Super Series title.
The Malaysian was in full control in the first set and had his opponent scrambling to return shots from all corners of the court.
Chong Wei was especially deadly at the net, winning numerous points with his deft touches.
The second set started just like the first, with Chong Wei racing to a 17-7 lead. But just when it looked like a thrashing, Taufik put up a gallant fight-back to narrow the deficit to 17-15.
However, Chong Wei regained his composure and wrapped up the set and match 21-17 in 18 minutes.
Earlier, Chai Biao-Guo Zhengdong from China beat Danish pair Mads Conrad-Petersen and Jonas Rasmussen 21-16, 21-14 to claim the men’s doubles title.
Chong Wei crushes Chen Long for explosive final date with Taufik
By RAJES PAUL
IT was a fun day for shuttler Lee Chong Wei when he checked into the Malaysia Open final in ruthless fashion to keep alive the hope of becoming home champion for the seventh time.
Yesterday, the world number one crushed Chen Long of China 21-9, 21-9 in a lop-sided 39-minute semi-final match in front of vociferous home fans at the Putra Stadium.
He will play against an on-fire Taufik Hidayat of Indonesia in today’s final and based on the current form of these two players, an explosive match is on the cards.
Yesterday, Chong Wei, boosted again by the presence of his coach Misbun Sidek, who was smartly dressed in a chequered shirt, showed no mercy to Chen Long.
Turning on the style: Lee Chong Wei returning a backhand shot to China’s Chen Long during their semi-final match yesterday. Chong Wei won 21-9, 21-9.
And Chen Long, despite an extra day’s rest after enjoying a walkover from injured compatriot Lin Dan in the quarter-finals on Friday, was unable to keep up with the fiery pace.
The Malaysian never took his feet off the pedal although he had a big lead over Chen Long throughout the match.
And at one stage, he even did a little jig after saving an almost impossible deep baseline return from Chen Long and it brought out a big uproar from the delirious fans.
Chong Wei said he went into the match with the intention of crushing Chen Long’s spirit from the start. “He is China’s upcoming youngster and it is dangerous to give him room to build up his confidence. I just went all out,” said Chong Wei.
Taufik Hidayat.
“I was very confident after taking the first game. All my strokes and counter attacks worked well for me and I just continued to enjoy myself. It felt really good.”
On his match against Taufik today, he said: “It is a familiar face but his condition seems to be better here. I will be ready. This is my homeground and I am determined to go out there and win my seventh Malaysia Open title.”
Chong Wei is the winner of the editions from 2004-2006 and 2008-2010.
Taufik, who won the 2000 Malaysia Open, is hoping to turn back the clock.
“I wish that I can go back several years. It will put me in a better position to challenge Chong Wei,” said the 30-year-old Taufik, who is one year older than the Malaysian.
“He is on top of his game as I was at one point of time. I have lost to him many times over the last two years but I beat him at the last World Championships.
“I feel good right now and I am hoping to get off to a great start this year. I will give my best against him and see what happens.”
Taufik was pleased with his superb 21-15, 21-19 win over compatriot Simon Santoso yesterday.
“I was a class above him in the opening game. I had a good lead in the second but I took it easy and Simon caught up. Fortunately, I made up for my hastiness to end the match early,” he said.
“It will be a different ball game against Chong Wei tomorrow and hopefully, I will be able to raise my game even higher,” added Taufik.
Despite the disappointment over Chen Long’s meek defeat yesterday, China can still afford a big smile. They are assured of three titles today as it will be all-China finals in the women’s singles, women’s doubles and mixed doubles events.

THE man in the spotlight – national coach Misbun Sidek – has chosen to delay the meeting with Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) president Datuk Seri Nadzmi Mohd Salleh.
And due to this, the BAM’s council, who will meet today, is unlikely to make any major decision.
However, according to one of the council members yesterday, they are determined to get Nadzmi to make a stand over the whole matter surrounding Misbun.
Yesterday, Nadzmi said that Misbun had sent a text message to him, saying that he would prefer to meet after the Malaysia Open, which will end today at Putra Stadium.
“He wants to stay focused on the Malaysia Open and I respect that. I will meet him after that,” said Nadzmi.
Misbun pulled a shocker when he tendered his resignation on Dec 31. However, he has been asked to re-consider his decision by the BAM exco.
Misbun has not made up his mind on his status but he has showed up to support and coach world number one Lee Chong Wei since the second day of the home competition here in Bukit Jalil.
There were high hopes that Misbun would meet Nadzmi before today’s council meeting so that the 30-member council members could be briefed on whether Misbun wished to retract his resignation letter and if he did, what are the conditions he wanted for his return.
Nadzmi said that his main objective today is to brief the council on Misbun’s decision to resign. “I want the council members to know want had happened. It is important to engage them and this is precisely why the meeting is taking place,” he said.
When asked whether any decision would be made today, Nadzmi said: “We will deliberate and discuss on Misbun’s resignation matter. But I promise that there will be an amicable decision on this matter.”

“Back home in Korea they say I am too innocent looking, so that is why I decided to wear this ear-ring and look a bit more aggressive looking. No, this was not given by my girlfriend or any other girl. I bought this on my own. Anyway, I will have to take it off soon when I go for my compulsory army training (in February). You cannot wear such things in the army.” – Park Sung Hwan (Korea) when asked about his ear-ring
“I woke up this morning with my body aching all over. I was prepared for a three-set final but it turned out to be an easy final. I have proved that the Putra Stadium is a happy hunting ground for me.” – Lee Chong Wei (Malaysia) after retaining his title
“If all goes to plan, I am expected to meet (Lee) Chong Wei in the quarter-finals in the Korea Open. Let’s see how things go but I hope I don’t play as badly as I did against him in the final here.” – Park Sung Hwan (Korea)
“I am told the weather in Korea is extremely cold now..-6 degrees celcius. I hope the weather will not spoil things for me there.” – Datuk Lee Chong Wei (Malaysia)
“Malaysia is very special to me. The Malaysian audience make me feel very at home. I just feel that everybody likes me. I have very fond memories of Malaysia after I won here last year and it is no different now.” – Tine Rasmussen (Denmark) after her 21-17, 15-21, 21-16 win over top seed and world number one Zhou Mi in the women’s final
“We were patient and knew we had to play a patient game to match the Koreans who are known for their speed and attacking game. Now we have faith in ourselves to look forward for more things to come for us after a disappointing 2008.” – Nova Widianto after partnering Liliyana Natsir to win the mixed doubles title
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s Lee Chong Wei kissed the ground and pumped his fist several times in sheer delight at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil here yesterday.
World number one Chong Wei had continued to show his prowess on home ground, playing to the gallery to nail his fifth Malaysian Open title win a thumping 21-14, 21-13 win over South Korean Park Sung-hwan.
The victory in just 39 minutes was the easiest of the lot in his five home Open triumphs. The prize money of US$15,000 was an early ang pow cheer for the Chinese New Year.
“It is never easy to win at the Putra Stadium. The Malaysian players are said to be jinxed here,” said Chong Wei.
Giving thanks: Lee Chong Wei goes down on his knees to celebrate after clinching the winning point. He follows it up by kissing the ground. Then, he walks up to shake hands with Park Sung-hwan.
“And after winning the Malaysian Open for the second consecutive time in this stadium, I had to kiss the ground on which I stood. But the win was easier than I expected.
“I woke up this morning with pains all over the body. It has not been an easy week for me but I psyched myself up … I did not want to disappoint anyone today.
“It feels great to win the Malaysian Open for the fifth time. If my body is willing, I will be out to set a new record.”
The player who won the most number of eight Malaysian Open men’s singles titles was Wong Peng Soon.
The win for Chong Wei yesterday also showed that he was getting more comfortable with his status as the world number one. He also emerged as a convincing winner of the inaugural Super Series Masters Finals in Kota Kinabalu last month.
“There was so much burden on my shoulders after the Olympics in Beijing (where he won the silver).
“I had to handle the fame that came with the many awards that I received, including the Datukship,” he said.
“I think, that was why I struggled for half a year. It was not easy to shrug off the pressure. Now I feel more confident of myself. I guess, that was why I was so happy to have won the title today even though I had won it four times before.”
Chong Wei’s two main goals this year are to end his title drought in the All-England and to become the first Malaysian champion in the World Championships.
And he is aware that the stumbling block is China’s Lin Dan.
“There is no way out of this. I have to beat Lin Dan if I want to win these titles. I will work hard to achieve these,” he said.
Chong Wei dedicated the win to his coach, Misbun Sidek, who turned up against the doctor’s order to rest.
“He is recovering from lung infection but he still turned up to help me. I admire his dedication in coaching me. This win is certainly for him,” said Chong Wei,
Chong Wei’s next stop is the Korea Open next week and he has a wish: “I hope that I will not get sick there like last year. The temperature there is minus six … I don’t like cold weather.”
For the 25-year-old Sung-hwan, it was the second time that he lost to Chong Wei in the final after 2004.
“He was too good at the front of the net today and I just could do nothing about it,” said a dejected Sung-hwan.
“I may meet Chong Wei again in the quarter-finals of my home tournament next week and I will not play as I did today.”
MALAYSIA’S Lee Chong Wei kept the Malaysian flag flying when he marched into the men’s singles semi-finals of the Malaysian Open but the gallant run of youngster Liew Daren came to an end yesterday.
All the other Malaysian shuttlers were shown the exit on a poor day for the hosts.
Lee Chong Wei
World No. 1 Chong Wei’s win, however, did not come easy .
He had to dig deep into his reserves to beat a stubborn Simon Santoso of Indonesia 21-15, 16-21, 21-11 in a match that lasted 64 minutes.
Today, Chong Wei will take on Denmark’s Peter Gade-Christensen, who thrashed Daren 21-12, 21-14 in another quarter-final.
Chong Wei, who had been struggling from day one of the competition, got off to a blistering start but Simon was bent on giving the Malaysian a tough ride.
Determined to make amends for his demoralising defeat to Chong Wei at their last meeting in Singapore, Simon turned on the heat with his superb attacking play and managed to steal the second game.
The decider however turned to be an anti-climax with Chong Wei romping home against a jaded Simon.
Chong Wei was happy to keep alive Malaysia’s interest in the home tournament.
Giantkiller: Hsieh Yu-hsin of Taiwan screaming in delight after the shock 21-15, 22-20 quarterfinal victory over Indonesian second seed Sony Dwi Kuncoro Friday.
“It was a different Simon that I played today. He was more aggressive and unlike before, his defence was also impressive. He played a more patient game. I increased my pace in the rubber and that worked for me,” said Chong Wei.
On the match against Gade-Christensen, Chong Wei said: “I do not want to be overconfident although I have beaten him easily in Sabah (en route to winning the Super Series Masters Finals),” he said.
“I hope the home fans will not give up hope. I promise to give my best and I am determined to defend my title here.”
Yesterday, hopes of an all-Malaysian semi-final between Chong Wei and Daren were high when the latter raced to a 9-3 lead against Gade-Christensen.
But the lack of experience and nerves eventually took their toll on the 22-year-old Daren.
“It was a dream start but I got nervous after taking the lead against Peter. I should have taken it easy from the beginning,” said Daren.
“But overall, it has been a great outing from me. The defeat in the quarter-finals has given me a lot more confidence. Now, I know, I am on the right track to challenge the top players.”
Gade-Christensen, who had expected a better fight from Daren, said: “He lost the momentum halfway through the first game. I did not panic although I was trailing 3-9 and caught up and kept my game at a higher level,” said the two-time Malaysian Open champion.
“Daren is talented. I think we will be seeing him a lot more this year. But he has to improve on his physical condition to be able to challenge the big guns.”
After losing in devastating fashion to Chong Wei at last month’s Super Series Masters Finals, Gade-Christensen is determined to turn the table on the Malaysian today.
“Chong Wei will have a bigger crowd to support him (tomorrow). It will be a good match and unlike the past I will be ready for him from the beginning,” said Gade-Christensen.
The other semi-final will be between South Korean Park Sung-hwan and Taiwanese Hsieh Yu-hsin, who pulled off the biggest upset of the tournament by stunning second seed Sony Dwi Kuncoro of Indonesia 21-15, 22-20.
IT was a double disappointment for Malaysia yesterday when Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong and Chin Eei Hui-Wong Pei Tty painfully crashed out of the men and women’s doubles quarter-finals of the Malaysian Open.
Yesterday, Kien Keat-Boon Heong went down 13-21, 21-17, 19-21 to South Koreans Lee Yong-dae-Jung Jae-sung in what was the best match of the day as they kept the spectators on the edge of their seats with heart-stopping moments.
We did it: Jae-sung and Yong-dae celebrating after beating Kien Keat and Boon Heong in the quarter-finals at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil Friday. The Korean pair won 21-13, 17-21, 21-19.
After a poor start in the first game, the Malaysians got into groove and forced a rubber with a confident display to win the second game.
The rubber game was the show stealer with both pairs trading blow for blow in a bid to outwit each other. At the end, it was the Koreans who prevailed.
Although disappointed, Boon Heong was satisfied with the way they played.
“It was a close call but we truly enjoyed ourselves out there today. In the end, luck was not on our side,” said Boon Heong.
Kien Keat said: “Today we played well, especially Boon Heong. If I was in a better condition, the results could be different. We will use the next one month to prepare for the All-England (March 3-9).”
After a superb first game win, Eei Hui-Pei Tty blew away probably their best chance to get the better of former Olympic and world champions Yang Wei-Zhang Jiewen of China in the women’s doubles.
They easily won the first game at 21-17 and were leading 17-14 in the second before squandering the lead to allow the Chinese to win 21-19. And it was downhill in the rubber as they succumbed at 11-21.
It was their eleventh defeat to the formidable Chinese pair but the most painful one.
Despite not taking part in any tournament since their defeat in the quarter-finals of the Beijing Olympic Games, Jiewen-Yang Wei, certainly showed that they were made of sterner stuff when they made a remarkable comeback to win yesterday’s match.
Pei Tty was devastated.
“This is probably the closest match that we had against them. It is so sad to lose after coming so close,” said Pei Tty.
“It was all all right for us in the first game and when we were leading in the second. We played patiently and opened up the game a lot and that gave us a lot of opportunities to attack.
“But we fell into their trap by playing too fast. It affected our tempo a little and we lost our focus,” she lamented.
Pei Tty admitted that they still behind the Chinese superstars in terms of standard.
“But we are bent on improving out play,” added Pei Tty.
The country’s hopes of seeing a Malaysian pair winning the mixed doubles title vanished when Kien Keat-Ng Hui Lin and Hoon Thien How-Eei Hui crashed out yesterday. Malaysians have not won the mixed doubles since it was included in the Malaysian Open in 1983.
MALAYSIA’S Mohd Razif Abdul Latif-Woon Khe Wei recieved a standing ovation despite losing their mixed doubles match in the Malaysian Open on Thursday.
It was their fighting spirit and determination against Thailand’s top pair Sudket Prapakamol-T. Saralee in the second round that won the admiration of the spectators. They lost 21-19, 19-21, 19-21 in a energy sapping 62-minute match.
Razif and Khe Wei, who are playing for the first time as a pair, did not let any shuttle land on their court without going the extra mile to save it.
And this never-give-up attitude should take them far in the game.
In fact, similar traits were also shown by several other new combinations in the mixed doubles and men’s doubles pairings being tested by national coach Rexy Mainaky for the first time in the Malaysian Open.
The others, who gave a good fight before bowing out, were men doubles pairs — Lim Khim Wah-Hoon Thien How, Mak Hee Chun-Tan Wee Kiong, Razif-Chan Peng Soon — and mixed doubles pair Ong Jien Guo-Sabrina Chong.
Razif was happy that together with Khe Wei, they were able to give the Thais a good fight despite having trained together for only three weeks.
“The spectators were really supportive. That gave us the extra motivation to fight all the way,” said the 24-year-old Razif.
“Khe Wei and I combined well. She was quite fast at the front and I could cover at the back.
“I am 24 and it is time to produce results. Our coach has given us one year to prove ourselves with our new partners. This is the factor that is pushing us to give our all.”
Razif said it was good to see the other new combinations also taking up the challenge.
“It is encouraging to see several pairs putting up a great fight. The field will only get more competitive. This will do the sport good,” he said.
The new doubles pairs are not taking part in next week’s Korean Open.
They will wait with bated breath for Rexy to name the best pairs for the challenge in Europe in March.
