Badminton: A Chong Wei- Lin Dan semi-final on the cards this time
By LIM TEIK HUAT
PETALING JAYA: A possible showdown in the semi-finals between world No. 1 Lee Chong Wei and Olympic champion Lin Dan sets the stage for a thrilling Indonesian Open badminton championships in Jakarta from June 16-21.
Both players skipped the Indonesian Open last year to concentrate on preparing for the Beijing Olympics but this time, they have committed themselves to the event, which will be held back-to-back to the Singapore Open from June 9-14.
Their presence in the Indonesian Open is no surprise because it is the last Super Series tournament offering ranking points to the World Championships in Hyderabad from Aug 10-16.
Lin Dan has dropped to third spot in the latest world rankings behind Dane Peter-Gade Christensen and Chong Wei. And the two-time world champion will be playing in a Super Series tournament as the third seed for the first time and in the draw yesterday, he found himself in the same half as Chong Wei.
Chong Wei opens against German Marc Zwiebler and he has in his quarter fellow Malaysian Mohd Hafiz Hashim, Bao Chunlai of China and Simon Santoso of Indonesia.
It will also not be easy sailing for Lin Dan. He has a tricky first-round match against Indonesian Andre Kurniawan Tedjono in a quarter comprising fellow Chinese Chen Jin.
Malaysia抯 former number one Wong Choong Hann plays against a qualifier in the first round in the other half of the draw and faces the prospect of having to beat local favourite and fourth seed Sony Dwi Kuncoro next to advance to the quarter-finals.
In the same half are Indonesian Taufik Hidayat and second seed Christensen.
National chief coach Rashid Sidek said that it would be a very interesting Indonesian Open this year.
揕in Dan has been selective of tournaments he plays in and he surely wants to do well in the Indonesian Open to get back into second place in the rankings, |

Lucky Chun Seang counts his blessings
PETALING JAYA: Tan Chun Seang can consider himself lucky to be given the nod to join world No. 1 Lee Chong Wei as the two men抯 singles representatives from the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) for the Singapore Open next week.
Singles chief coach Rashid Sidek grounded the rest of the shuttlers, including former All-England champion Mohd Hafiz Hashim, from the tournament for serving up inconsistent performances over the last few months.
And Chun Seang will be out to prove that he is worthy of the place.
He will have to earn his place in the main draw from the qualifying rounds and standing in his way is Chinese junior Gong Weijie.
A place in the tournament proper will give Chun Seang a match against Indonesian Simon Santoso. If he advances, Chun Seang will take on either Ng Wei of Hong Kong or Boonsak Ponsana of Thailand.
揑 played against Gong Weijie in the qualifying round in Singapore last year. I抳e beaten him before and I hope to do it again. But unfortunately I was drawn against Peter-Gade Christensen in the first round, |

Chong Ming-Choon Eng get a berth in world meet
By LIM TEIK HUAT
PETALING JAYA: Doubles shuttler Chan Chong Ming bade farewell to the World Championships in Madrid in 2006 without getting on court because he had to rush home following the demise of his father.
He must have thought then that there would be no more world championships for him. But he has earned another appearance with Chew Choon Eng after the second phase of selection made by the Badminton World Federation for the world meet in Hyderabad from Aug 10-16.
Malaysia will now have a maximum of four pairs in the men抯 doubles competition. The others in the fray are Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong, Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari-Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif and Choong Tan Fook-Lee Wan Wah.
In the latest world rankings, Chong Ming-Choon Eng are in 11th spot |
