Congrats to Nicol David, KL Open Champ

Congrats to Nicol David for becoming the Kuala Lumpur Open champion. In my opinion, she is the best Malaysian athlete. Perhaps also the most consistent squash player in the world. Respect her a lot as she is not only successful but also humble and very sporting.  Hope other athlete can emulate her success. 

Congrats to the 100th edition All England Champion, Lee Chong Wei

Finally, Lee Chong Wei was crowned as the All England champion, a title that every badminton player dream of. It was a very close game and praise should be given to Lee's opponent, Kenichi Tago who has high fighting spirit. In the end, it is the experience of Lee that cause him to win. Indeed Kenichi is a player to watch out in the future as this young player is talented, very determined and calm in his game. Now Lee can be proud of his 3 consecutive Super Series in 2010 beginnning with the Korean and Malaysia Super Series title and All England. May he continue to make Malaysia proud and do well in Swiss Open this week. This win also show a good sign for Lee to lead Malaysia in the Thomas Cup in May.

Unexpected men's singles finalist for All England

Most of the badminton fans are expecting  to watch Lee Chong Wei vs Lin Dan in the All England finals. However, the highly anticipated match didnt materialize as Lin Dan lost to his teammate Bao Chunlai in the quarter finals. Unexpectedly Bao Chunlai, lost to Japan's young rising star, Kenichi Tago in the semi finals yesterday. Kenichi Tago had beaten 3 seeded players including Nguyen Tien Minh, Chen Jin and Bao Chunlai to reach the final.  Will the unseeded Kenichi be able to beat the 1st seed, Lee Chong Wei or will Lee win the All England title which Malaysia had long hope for after Hafiz Hashim won it in 2003. With no Lin Dan and other China's great wall to break, perhaps this is the best chance for Lee to win the prestigious All England title. Malaysia boleh
