It was sad to know that Malaysia lost to China in the Thomas Cup semi- final yesterday which was held in Indonesia by 3-2. Wong Chun Hann the most senior player had lost his power and stream and he was defeated. The other losers are double Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong and the third single Mohd Hafiz Hashim
MALAYSIA were the underdogs reported by the StarSport, knowing very well that they needed to win the two doubles matches to have a chance of beating China in the Thomas Cup semi-finals at the Istora Senayan in Jakarta yesterday.
They only managed to get one from the second doubles match after Lee Chong Wei had giving them a rousing start to raise hopes of an upset over the defending champions. And Malaysia ended up as 2-3 losers.
Much was expected of Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong to press on the advantage Chong Wei had given the team with a comfortable 21-12, 21-14 win over world number one Lin Dan. But the pair lost the first doubles match against Cai Yun-Fu Haifeng at 16-21, 17-21 defeat.Read More
