Former All-England champ out to win all his third singles matches
By RAJES PAUL
KUALA LUMPUR: Singles shuttler Mohd Hafiz Hashim is currently the least popular player in the Thomas Cup squad.
The general impression among the public is that they do not trust Hafiz as the third singles player in the squad for the Finals, which will be held at Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil from May 9-16.
They may have a point. After all, the former All-England champion has fared miserably on home soil.
Whether he likes it or not, Hafiz knows that the Finals will be the ultimate stage for him to come good and win back the confidence of the public.
And that is exactly what he intends to do.
“This is my fifth Finals appearance and the most challenging one,” said Hafiz after a training session at Juara Stadium in Bukit Kiara.
“The odds are against me. People have a negative perception about me and I do not blame them for that. I wish things were different but I have a challenge now to change their views,” he said.
“I have put in a a lot of effort in my preparation this time. I want to win all my matches as the third singles – that is my goal.”
Hafiz also acknowledged that he could not longer blame the Putra Stadium as a jinxed venue for him.
“Yes, I only have bad memories of this stadium. I used to be troubled by the strong draught in the stadium. But this can no longer be used as an excuse,” he said.
“In fact, I cannot remember any outstanding achievement from me on home soil. It’s time to change all that.”
Hafiz also said that it would be a failure if they do not end Malaysia’s 18-year wait for the Cup this time.
“A place in the final will not do for us. This is our home ground and we will have to go all out for the Cup,” he said.
“It is up to me to get the job done if any of the ties are level at 2-2. I did not do a great job two years ago but I am determined to make up for it. I hope this year’s Thomas Cup will be the turning point in my career.”
Hafiz certainly knows what he is talking about. Two years ago, Malaysia and China were tied at 2-2 in the semi-finals in Jakarta and it was up to Hafiz to deliver the winning points. Sadly, he went down to Chen Jin.
This time, as the third singles, he is likely to face some of these players – Danes Joachim Persson or Kenneth Jonassen, Indonesian Simon Santoso, China’s Bao Chunlai or Chen Long and South Korea’s Hong Ji-hoon or Lee Hyun-il.
The good news is that he has beaten all of them before. The bad news, however, is that he has lost to them more often than he has beaten them.
Besides Hafiz and Lee Chong Wei, the others in the Malaysian team are Wong Choong Hann, Tan Chun Seang, Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong, Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari-Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif and Ong Soon Hock-Hoon Thien How.
*** all the best to hafiz.. aku la tu salah sorang yg dah tak trust dgn dia.. hehe |

Sidek spirit stays high despite Rashid’s misfortune
KUALA LUMPUR: The Sideks are used to adversities.
And national singles coach Misbun Sidek is confident that nothing would stop them from giving their best for the country despite concerns over the misfortunes that had struck younger brother Rashid and his family.
National singles chief coach Rashid and his family have been confirmed to have contracted H1N1 and they are now under quarantine.
This comes just a week before the Thomas-Uber Cup Finals begin on Sunday in Bukit Jalil.
The National Sports Institute (NSI) are taking all measures to ensure that all the players in the Thomas and Uber Cup squads are cleared from the illness.
It is not sure when Rashid will be out of quarantine but the NSI director-general, Dr Ramlan Aziz, said that they were keeping a close watch on the players and would conduct routine checks on them every morning.
Misbun said that it was unfortunate that Rashid had fallen ill but it would not throw a damper in the team’s preparation for the Finals.
“This is not something new to the Sideks. We have gone through hardships and we always come out of them stronger. The most important thing is to be there for each other,” he said.
Misbun lost his child prior to the 1996 Atlanta Olympics but he put his grief aside and made the trip to assist Rashid to achieve glory for the country. Rashid bagged the bronze medal. Last year, he still gave undivided attention to training although his wife was sick due to kidney failure.
Despite difficult situations and torn between his responsibilities, he still accompanied world No. 1 Lee Chong Wei to the World Championships in Hyderabad.
“The Sideks are tough people. We will continue to do what we know best right now – to coach and prepare the players to achieve their best in the Finals,” said Misbun.
*** hopefully everything will be ok soon.. |

Inviting fans to help Malaysia win the Thomas Cup
By Rajes paul
KUALA LUMPUR: Doubles shuttlers Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif-Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari want a lot of noise at the Putra Stadium to help fire them up to play better in the Thomas Cup Finals.
And they have called on the Malaysian fans to cheer loudly.
“The louder the better. Fairuzizuan and I prefer it loud to keep us going. In fact, we have been letting out shouts of encouragement to each other during training,” said Zakry.
“We realise that when we are quiet, something is wrong. We are unable to bring out our best. We have to constantly psych up each other.
“And we hope to get the same support from our spectators. I admire the Indonesian fans because they stand by their players all the time. We plead to our fans to do the same.
“Of course, we also have to play our part and we will give good reasons for the home fans to back us up. We will give our best.”
With strong support from the spectators, Zakry is hoping to come good in a second appearance in the Thomas Cup Finals with Fairuzizuan.
The duo are the second ranked pair in the team behind world No. 1 Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong. The third Malaysian pair are Ong Soon Hock-Hoon Thien How.
Zakry added that he would not want to end up a disappointment after being given a second chance to feature in the Finals.
“Fairuz and I were not in the good books of the coaches ahead of the selection of the team. We were not playing well and did not have good results to show. But we were still selected for the Finals. We will be out to prove that we can be counted on.”
At the last Finals in Jakarta, Zakry-Fairuzizuan were the reserves but they were fielded for the second doubles match of the semi-final tie against China’s Guo Zhengdong-Xie Zhongbo. And they kept Malaysia alive in the tie before Mohd Hafiz Hashim lost the deciding match against Chen Jin to give China a 3-2 win.
“It was the one and only match we played in our debut in the Thomas Cup Finals but the most memorable one. We may play more matches this time and we hope to deliver in every tie,” said Zakry.
As the second ranked doubles pair, their counterparts in the other teams are Cai Yun-Fu Haifeng (China), Alven Yulianto-Hendra Gunawan (Indonesia), Jung Jae-sung-Shin Baek-cheol (South Korea) and Lars Paaske-Jonas Rasmussen (Denmark).
“This time, the second doubles will be keenly contested. Every other country have a strong second doubles pair. We will try to defy the odds again,” said Zakry.

Rashid can’t wait to get back to work with his charges
KUALA LUMPUR: National singles chief coach Rashid Sidek is all excited over getting back with the team gearing up for the Thomas-Uber Cup Finals.
Rashid and his family were confirmed with the virus H1N1 last week and he is expected to be discharged from the Tawakal Hospital here today. The Finals begin on Sunday at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil.
Rashid said yesterday that he was bored in hospital after spending four days there with his wife and children.
“I don’t have fever anymore and I feel as good as new. My family members are also getting better,” he said.
“I am recovering and looking forward to rejoining the team in the next few days. I should be with them when they move their training base to the Putra Stadium.
“I have all my family members (the wife and three children) here in hospital. Only my one-year-old boy was not confirmed with the virus but, as a precautionary measure, he was also confined here.”
Rashid added that there was nothing for the players to worry about him and their task was to stay focused on doing well in the Finals.
“I am happy that all the players have been cleared of the virus.
“They have nothing to worry about and should give 100 per cent on the task at hand. The most important thing is for them to stay free of injuries and illness,” he said.
Yesterday, in a joint effort between the National Sports Institute (NSI) and the Healthy Ministry, all the players at the Juara Stadium national training centre in Bukit Kiara underwent check-ups.
Their temperatures were taken and the results of the tests would be known in 72 hours. The cost for each test is RM400.
NSI director-general Datuk Dr Ramlan Aziz said: “We will wait for the test results. In the meantime, we will monitor continuously for symptoms. I will be on 24-hour call.”
** syukur.. rashid dah sihat |
