Winex innovation of cork material

This is purely Winex own innovation of cork material. A great job to the world.

We used complex material to form this cork base and proved it is successful after real test of hitting .

We must say besides feather resources, cork material also a real problem for shuttlecocks maker. Why?

1. This cork material only can imported from Portugal.
2. It is a natural material that quality cannot be guaranteed by Portugal suppliers.
3. Sometimes its weight is heavy that make shuttlecocks speed run faster.
4. Always have big air room inside the cork that may make shuttlecocks weaker when playing.
5. The most problem to makers is the good flight cannot be secured constantly. A 70% A flight is the best good makers can reach. Sometimes if come to lower than 60 %, makers will have lose because they cannot sell more A grade at good price.

These are the common problems makers, like us have always.

For overcoming these problems, the cork supplier has use 2 parts material for cork nowadays, by organized it top part is still cork but base part is spongy forming material. This seems acceptable everywhere at this moment. But still, if that cork material will not good enough, sometimes the cork will be soften like sand when played.

Now, we are happy to tell you our president, Mr. C.H. Wang, has innovated this cork by using several complex materials to form this usual cork base. We have found it is really good for shuttlecocks, no matter feather shuttlecocks or nylon shuttlecock. Even used for our new creation Hybrid nylon shuttlecocks. We have improved again and again for this Hybrid nylon shuttlecocks that still not yet send goods to all our agents. We feel very sorry fro this. We want a successful product that can let you to sell happily.

The features of this Hi-tec complex cork are-

1. Makes feather shuttlecocks longer time playing
2. Real same feeling and hardness as top grade cork materials.
3. Flexibility is similar to cork materials.
4. It will come to over 95 % good steady flight for feather shuttlecocks making.
5. It wont change shape after long play.
6. Quality of shuttlecocks can be controlled
7. The most important point is -- It is environmental protection products.

At beginning we will use it for our Hybrid nylon shuttlecocks, then we will sell to all feather shuttlecocks makers in the world.

If you happen to know some feather shuttlecocks makers, please let them know this innovation and introduce to us to save the earth.

Can you tell the difference of cork material of these 4 shuttlecocks?

2009 Yonex All England Open - Finalist

While England’s players were left wondering what might have been, they could only look on in envy at the way China’s players swept the board at the ninety-ninth Yonex All England Championships in Birmingham.

China became the first nation for more than sixty years to win all five titles – Denmark did it in 1948 – and they did so without one of their players or pairs being top seeds. In fact, it was the first time since 2001 that China did not figure as top seed in any of the five events.

Of course, for England things might have been different but for Nathan Robertson being struck down by a virus on the eve of the Championships.

That denied British fans the chance to see a mouth-watering clash between Robertson and Jenny Wallwork and fourth seeds and team-mates Anthony Clark and Donna Kellogg in the first round.

It also stopped Robertson and Clark showing the fans that they are still a force in Men’s Doubles after reuniting following the Beijing Olympics and climbing high enough up the world rankings to be seeded eighth at the National Indoor Arena.

Recently appointed England and GB Performance Director Ian Moss, who takes up his role in mid-April, was there to watch the players just as he was at the European Team Championships in Liverpool.

But home-grown success stories were at a premium. In the Men’s Singles Andrew Smith continued to give a good account of himself and presented former World and Olympic Champion Taufik Hidayat of Indonesia with a stern test in their second-round clash before losing to the seventh seed 15-21 21-15 21-16.

In the Mixed Doubles, Clark and Kellogg built on their walkover against Robertson and Wallwork to beat teenage prospects Chris Adcock and Gabby White 21-14 21-16 to reach the quarter-finals. However, hopes of them improving on their 2007 runners-up spot evaporated on the Friday night when they lost a three-game battle with Korean pair and eventual runners-up Ko Sung Hyun and Ha Jung Eun 21-16 15-21 21-11.

By then the Anglo-Scottish pairing of Robert Blair and Imogen Bankier had also fallen, the seventh seeds going out in the second round 26-24 21-19 in a contest as tight as the scoreline suggests against Indonesian Flandy Limpele and Russia’s Anastasia Russkikh.

Clark and Kellogg’s quarter-final effort was matched by Women’s Doubles pair White and Jenny Wallwork.

They may not yet have the experience to get past Olympic champions and 2008 All England runners-up Du Jing and Yu Yang – they lost 21-6 21-8 – but they had the satisfaction of beating Denmark’s European Champions and sixth seeds Kamilla Juhl and Lena Frier Kristiansen in impressive fashion 21-12 21-8 in the second round in the pick of the home performances.

But all in all, the championships belonged to China, a new more approachable China under the guidance of former champions Xia Xuanze and Zhang Ning and, of course, the overall leadership of the redoubtable Li Yongbo.

Wang Yihan won the Women’s Singles in her second All England and Lin Dan won his fourth Men’s Singles in six successive final appearances when he repeated his Olympic win over Malaysian world No 1 Lee Chong Wei.

China also captured the three doubles titles through He Hanbin and Yu Yang in the Mixed, Zhang Yawen and Zhao Tingting in an all-Chinese Women’s Doubles final, and former World Champions Cai Yun and Fu Haifeng recaptured the Men’s Doubles trophy they won in 2005.

Golden boy Lin Dan let slip 10-6 and 16-12 lead in the first game as Lee Chong Wei edged 19-17 ahead. But he then lost focus and Lin Dan took the opening game before running away with the second to secure a 21-19 21-12 victory. Lin Dan, who was eager to celebrate by going shopping, said: “I felt I played quite well but we both did and the real winners had to be the fans that saw the match.

“There were a couple of times in the first set when I let him get an advantage but I recovered and I thought I played well.”

Lee said: “It was a better match than our Olympic meeting but he has improved! He has got a psychological advantage now after beating me three times in a row recently. Next time I need to break up his rhythm. He is a good attacker and plays very fast.”

By the time Lin Dan had lifted his title, China had already won the Mixed Doubles when Olympic Bronze Medallists He Hanbin and Yu Yang defeated Ko Sung Hyun and Han Jung Eun of Korea 13-21 21-15 21-9.

Then Zhang Yawen, the 2007 Women’s Doubles winner with Wei Yili, took the title with new partner Zhao Tingting when the seventh seeds overcame team-mates Cheng Shu and Zhao Yunlei 21-13 21-15.

Next 21-year-old Wang Yihan added the All England title to the previous weekend’s German Open victory as she proved too calm and too strong for defending champion Tine Rasmussen.

That denied Rasmussen a third Super Series title in a row following wins in Korea and Malaysia in January.

The Dane was undoubtedly left drained by an amazing semi-final comeback from a game and 16-9 down to defeat Jiang Yianjiao 24 hours earlier.

Although Rasmussen saved a match point before winning the second game she could not deny her younger opponent, who lifted the title with a 21-19 21-23 21-11 victory.

Wang said: “In the third game I felt physically stronger. It was a pity I didn’t take the match point in the second game but I really enjoyed myself out there. I had secretly imagined what it would be like to win the title but when I started the match I just focused on what I had to do. I think I played to my peak form.”

China had won four titles in 2005 – the year Robertson and Gail Emms won the Mixed Doubles - but the elusive fifth title came their way when former World Champions Cai Yun and Fu Haifeng defeated Koreans Han Sang Hoon and Hwang Ji Man 21-17 21-15.

Li Yongbo said: “We've got a really good team spirit and all the players wanted to achieve it. Obviously other countries wanted to but we really knew we could.”

The worrying thing is that he will want to mark next year’s one hundreth Yonex All England Championships by repeating the feat.

You better be there to see if they do – the Championships are a week later in 2010 from March 9-14.

Indians upset world champs

16 January 2009

By Raphael Sachetat. Pix by BadmintonPhoto

In a day of upsets, India’s Jwala Gutta and V. Diju caused the biggest shock when they edged Indonesia’s best mixed doubles pair Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir, showing that India’s renaissance isn’t relying on Saina Nehwal’s shoulders only.

In another shocker, reigning Olympic and world champions Markis Kido and Hendra Setiawan were sent packing as well.

Apparently, the fate of a whole nation is not solely relying on the solid – yet young- shoulders of Saina Nehwal. It can also count on Jwala Gutta’s amazing eyes and V. Diju’s humble character. But most of all, on their talent.

The duo, paired together three years ago, enjoyed their greatest win ever, on Court 1 of the Olympic Stadium in Seoul, when facing no other than the double world champions and Olympic silver medalists.

Even if the first game clearly went to the top seeds from Indonesia, their Indian opponents found a way to get back into the game and slowly caught the right sprit and style of play to put the favourites under pressure.

“After the first game, we realised that they were playing a fast game, just as a lot of Asian pairs do. This is not our style of play and we had to break their rhythm and rely on soft touch and net play. This is what we, Indians, are good at,” analysed Jwala Gutta, after her match.

This way of seeing things not only worked in theory, but on court as well and the Indonesians were soon frustrated with a pace they are not used to playing, finding themselves in a position where Nova could hardly strike his usual fast drives while Lilyana found Jwala stronger at the net than her.

As frustration led to mistakes, the second game was won by the Indians. The third turned out to be a nightmare for Widianto and Natsir, who watched the score board move up one point after the other for their opponents without being able to score. Diju and Jwala were on for their career best win 10/21 – 21/16 – 21/9.

“We’ve had some good results in the past, especially last year, where we won the Bitburger Open and had some good wins against good pairs, but never such a top class pair. This is definitely a boost for us and it will bring us some confidence for the events to come, the All England and the Swiss Open,” said Diju, who doesn’t train on a daily basis with his partner as both are based in a different place in India (Calicut for him and Hyderabad for her).

“We practice together during events, and also, we usually have training camps before tournaments, like this time when we had a one-week camp before the Super Series with our coach P. Gopichand.”

The pair will now take on another Indonesian pair, Wijaya Rendra/Meiliana Jauhari, representing their club of Djarum, while the favourites are now Lee Yong Dae and Lee Hyo Jung, who had the welcome of movie stars from the spectators for their quick win over Delbo Larsen and Mie Schjoett- Kristensen.

The title holders will now play Fran Kurniawan/Shendy Puspa Irawati. The other two quarters will feature Joachim Fischer-Nielsen/Christinna Pedersen Vs Songphon Anugritayawon/Kunchala Voravihitchaikul of Thailand and Robert Blair/Imoggen Bankier Vs Yohan Hadikusumo Wiratama/Chau Hoi Wah.

The fate of the top seeds in the mixed was not the only bad news for Indonesia as the Olympic champions in the men’s doubles were to be sent packing as well.

Markis Kido and Hendra Setiawan, still not at their best, went down to an inspired team of Fang Chieh Min/Lee Sheng Mu of Chinese Taipei. The first two games were uneven, with one game a piece, but the decider was a great one, with a clear contrast in styles.

The match point was a good sum up of what had been going on all through out the match when the Indonesians kept hitting down the shuttles, retrieved by Fang and Lee, before Kido nailed a huge smash into the net in frustration, leading to a 21/10 – 11/21 – 21/18 win for the Chinese Taipei boys.

The men’s doubles was very exciting with other very tight matches. Lee Wan Wah/Choong Tan Fook, the now independent Malaysians, scooped an important win over last week’s finalists Hendra Gunawan and Alven Yulianto.

The third game especially was thrilling, with Lee and Choong way ahead – 18/11 before Gunawan and Yulianto got back into the match, reminding their opponents of their old demons – leading and then collapsing towards the end.

But this time, when the Indonesians leveled up at 19/19, the Malaysians played a solid game and didn’t let go with an important victory and sealed their win which sent them into the quarter finals, where they are to meet Fang and Lee.

Malaysia’s former stars Chew Chun Eng/Chan Chong Ming didn’t have the same luck as they went down to youngsters Han Sang Hoon and Shin Baek Choel from Korea, in the last match of the day. It wasn’t the least in terms of suspense and the good crowd who had come to watch Lee Yong Dae stayed few more minutes to enjoy the win of this new pair in three games as well this time, 22/20 in the last game. Other seeds, however, made it through to the next round.

Of all the seeds involved in the men’s singles, only Joachim Persson failed to make it to the quarter finals. The clash awaited between him and his compatriot Peter Gade will probably have to wait until the Danish National Championships as the left hander was shown the way out by Korea’s Shon Wan Ho.

The 5th seed Dane was clearly not at his best while his opponent was all fired up by his home supporters and won thanks to a very fast game. In straight games, it was all over with an unquestionable success 21/14 – 21/13 for Shon, who will meet next a player he has probably seen on TV much more than in real life : Peter Gade himself, who hardly broke sweat to beat Ng Wei, 21/10 – 21/10.

The men’s single event saw only one match which went three games when Poland’s Przemyslaw Wacha took on India’s Arvind Bhat. The Pole finally ended up as a winner after an incredible finish.

Ahead 19/13, Wacha lost 6 straight points but saved one match point at 20/21 before closing it up 23/21. A relief which saw him throw his racket in joy… and got him a yellow card – he probably enters the circle of the very few players who got such a warning for celebrating – even if this gesture could have been seen as a sign of despair.

Lee Chong Wei will meet Park Sung Hwan in the quarters, while the bottom quarter will feature an all Indonesian affair between Simon Santoso and Andre Tedjono.

Adrianti Firdasari avenged the fate of her mixed double compatriots when she beat Saina Nehwal to get back at India in the closest match of the women’s singles. The Indonesian beat Nehwal 21/18 – 21/18 – 21/12 and will meet Tine Rasmussen in the quarters.

Wang Chen and Zhou Mi as expected, came through their second rounds even if Wang dropped a game under way to Malaysia’s Julia Wong. They will meet Petya Nedelcheva and Hwang Hye Youn respectively, while Pi Hongyan takes on the younger shuttler left in the draw, Japan’s Mayu Sekiya.

No surprise whatsoever in the women’s doubles, where some of the pairs didn’t even have to play to enter the quarter finals – Yang Wei/Zhang Jiewen, Ha Jung Eun/Kim Jung Min and Eom Hye Won/Jung Kyung Eun benefited walkovers from their opponents, which made the schedule of the day finish right on time for the usual draw to start, with rackets to be won for the spectators – a tradition in the Yonex Korea Open.

10年來首次 世界第1中國擦肩

（中國‧北京13日綜合電）中國羽球隊缺席兩站超級賽，世界排名十年首次無緣第一。

2009年第一個羽球國際賽事馬來西亞超級賽落幕，中國隊缺席，5個單項的冠軍分別被印尼、韓國、丹麥和馬來西亞分享。

因為連續缺席兩站超級賽，中國隊10年里將第一次無緣各個項目的頭把交椅。

自去年12月，中國羽球隊開始冬訓，為維持系統訓練、保証冬訓效果，中國隊不僅放棄去年底的超級賽總決賽，還同時放棄馬來西亞和韓國兩站超級賽。

盡管全隊缺席，但11月退出國家隊的楊維與張潔雯和高崚與魏軼力這兩對女雙老將，依然出現在馬來西亞賽場。

最新一期世界排名，中國隊僅杜婧與于洋這對女雙暫列第一，由于中國隊將缺席韓國超級賽，杜婧與于洋也將把第一位置讓出，中國隊十年第一次無緣各項目頭把交椅。

韓國超級賽于今日至18日進行，楊維與張潔雯、高崚與魏軼力繼續征戰，楊維與張潔雯可能在半決賽，與韓國李敬元與李孝珍再次狹路相逢。

CHONG WEI NOW COMFORTABLE BEING WORLD NO. 1

KUALA LUMPUR (11 Jan 2009): Datuk Lee Chong Wei has admitted it has taken him more than six months to adjust to life as the world's top ranked badminton player, but he has finally lifted the burden and is looking forward to a more successful 2009.
The Malaysian, who failed to win any tournaments after ascending to the top of the world rankings after the Beijing Olympics, only broke his duck at the the Yonex-Sunrise BWF World Super Series Masters Finals last month.
Today, he clinched his second title as world No.1 when he won his fifth Proton Malaysia Open title in six years when he totally outclassed South Korea's Park Sung Hwan 21-14, 21-13 in only 39 minutes at Putra Stadium.
"After winning the silver medal at the Olympics and reaching the world No. 1 ranking and getting my Datukship, I found it hard to adjust," admitted Chong Wei who took home US$15,000 for winning the Proton Malaysia Open.
"There were too many distractions and the pressure was just too great. However, I'm now comfortable with everything and I am looking forward to a great season."
After winning his fifth Malaysian title, Chong Wei said he hopes to beat compatriot Wong Peng Soon's record of eight men's crowns.
"I now have five titles and hope to set a new record in the coming years. I also hope to remain undefeated in tournaments held in Malaysia. This will be my main target for the next few years," said Chong Wei.
"I didn't expect to win easily today as I was quite tired after having gone into rubber games in the second round, quarter-finals and semi-finals. I woke up with lots of aches and pains but told myself that I had to push myself further as it was the final."
Sung Hwan was gracious in defeat and said he hopes to avenge his loss in the Korean Open when he is slated to meet Chong Wei in the quarter-finals.
"It was not easy playing him today but I hope to do better in Korea," said Sung Hwan.
"Right now, Chong Wei and Lin Dan are slightly ahead of the chasing pack but they are not unbeatable.
"It is just a matter of getting our act right on the day."
On his dismal record in finals, Sung Hwan said: "I actually don't feel much pressure when I reach the semis or finals. I don't know why I don't win more titles. This is something I have to work on."
Denmark's Tine Rasmussen retained her women's singles title and declared it is the first step to her winning a World Championship medal.
The second seed had a tough battle against top seed Zhou Mi of Hong Kong before winning 21-17, 15-21, 21-16 in 56-minutes to take home the US$15,000 winner's cheque.
"It is so nice to play in Malaysia as the fans always root for me. It feels like I'm playing back home in Denmark," said Rasmussen.
"I had happy memories from last year and went out on court to have fun. I didn't put myself under pressure by thinking I had to win and I think that was the key to my victory.
"It was a tough match but I'm glad I prevailed."
On her plans for the year, Rasmussen said her main goal was to win a medal of any colour in the World Championships later this year.
"At this point in time, I just want to go back to the hotel and rest and not think about next week's Korean Open," she said.
"However, it has been a long-term goal of my to win a medal at the World Championships and I believe this could be my year."
Indonesia's Nova Widianto-Liliyana Natsir gained revenge for their Olympic defeat to South Korea's Lee Yong Dae-Lee Hyo Jung when they won mixed-doubles title.
The Indonesians, who had lost their last three meetings to the Koreans, were simply on fire today and after a tight opening game where they were locked at 12-12, pulled ahead of win 21-14.
The second game was just as close but the Indonesians were always a step ahead and theyclinched the tie 21-19 when Hyo Jung sent her return into the net to end the 32-minute encounter.
"Losing the Olympic final was a big disappointment but at least we have gained some measure of revenge today," said Nova.
"This win will give us the confidence for the new year as it shows we are back on the right track."
Liliyana said: "We hope to be in good physical shape for the Korean Open. At the same time we hope the weather will be good for us. As we will be facing the same opponents in the Korean Open, we will give ourselves a 50-50 chance.
"We lost three matches to the same Korean pair, so it was good to end the losing streak."
Hyo Jung, however, came back to win the women's doubles with Lee Kyung Won.
She came out with all guns firing in the women's doubles when she and Kyung Won defeated three-time champions Yang Wei-Zhang Jiewen 21-15, 21-12 in only 33 minutes. Yang Wei-Zhang Jiewen were champions from 2003-2005.
A delighted Hyo Jung said her defeat earlier in the day didn't affect her performance when she came out for her second final.
"While I would have loved to have won the mixed-doubles final, losing it didn't affect me at all," she said.
"I knew I had a good chance with Kyung Won as the Chinese tired were looking tired, even in their semi-final match.
"We keep up our pace and I'm delighted we manage to win a title in our first tournament after a six-month break."
The South Korean duo, who have only just recuperated from ankle injuries, will now focus on next month's Korean Open.
Yang Wei, who was gunning for her nine Malaysia Open crown, after winning it five times with Huang Nanyang from 1998-2004, said: "I wasn't feeling very well. I was tired and could hardly move.
"We didn't feel good before the match but at least we have exceeded our target which was just to reach the quarter-finals."
Yong Dae also had reasons to cheer when he won the men's doubles title with Jung Jae Sung.
They used their experience and guile to defeat up and coming Indonesian pair Alvent Yulianto-Hendra Gunawan 18-21, 21-14, 21-14.
Despite falling to a first game deficit, the Koreans never panicked and upped the pace to race home in 49 minutes.
They also became the first Korean pair to win the Malaysia Open title since the legendary paring of Kim Dong Moon-Lee Dong Soo did so in 2002.
Alvent-Hendra, who upset world and Olympic champions Markis Kido-Hendra Setiawan in the semi-finals, had no answer to the Koreans' tactics once they decided to go on the offensive.
Even when the Indonesians went on the attack, they found the South Korean defence difficult to penetrate.
The point of the match was arguably at 4-4 in the decider when Alvent-Hendra tried to smash their way past Jae Sung-Yong Dae but nothing worked.
In the end, it was the South Koreans who won the point and the psychological battle as they then took control of the tie.
"Our defence was very good in the second game and that was the difference in the end," said Jae Sung.
"Also, Yong Dae was in the form of his life to help us to the title. We were a little tired today but managed to pull off a win."
Meanwhile, Taiwan's Cheng Hung Ling won the Badzine Fairplay Trophy for his spirit of fairplay and sportsmanship in the Proton Malaysia Open.

宗偉決戰朴成奐

臨危不亂擒蓋特
宗偉決戰朴成奐

報導：葉紹榮、許健強、許彩雲


（吉隆坡10日訊）恩師米士本回歸督戰下，力助放眼5次奪冠的李宗偉，在半決賽掃除最大的障礙，在取下丹麥強人彼得蓋特后，5度稱霸目標只差一步。

在首局24比26落敗后，迅速反彈的宗偉最后兩局逆轉，以21比17及21比13反勝對手。

在去年12月朝聖歸國后一直病倒的米士本，最后痊癒並趕得及在半決賽這場關鍵戰，回到教練席上督戰。

隨著古健傑與陳文宏、陳儀慧與黃佩蒂在雙打落敗，李宗偉目前是唯一的主隊希望。

在首局，放眼復仇的彼得蓋特打來如有神助，縱使擁有主場之利的宗偉，也無法拉開局面，在17比17持平后，宗偉一度兩分領先，接近局點，但是頑強的蓋特再次追平，最后還是蓋特成功以26比24勝出。

在次局，尋回節奏的李宗偉不再讓蓋特的有太多機會下，21比17扳回一局。在決勝局，對上疲態顯露的蓋特，宗偉沒有放鬆，最終21比13勝出。

周蜜蒂妮爭后座

李宗偉曾在去年12月超級系列總決賽，分別在小組賽和決賽戰勝彼得蓋特，但是這一次對手顯然準備更為充足，讓戰情相當激烈。

此外，本屆黑馬也就是中華台北的謝裕興，無法一黑到底，半決賽對上韓國的朴成奐，兩局13比21及14比21不敵。

女單方面，香港的王晨與周蜜昨日在8強都各自殺退大馬的謝麗雅與黃佩嫻，希望可以代表香港首次取下女單冠軍。

但是今日半決賽面對衛冕的丹麥強人蒂妮拉斯姆森，王晨顯然心有余而力不足，丹麥人3局苦拼下以21比15、17比21及21比12取勝，衛冕只差一步。

蒂妮將會在決賽對上周蜜，后者曾在2003年代表中國隊時，取得過大馬公開賽女單冠軍，在奧運會后狀態大勇的她，今日半決賽拿下法國的皮紅艷，兩局比分是21比16及21比18。

最新世界排名

最新世界排名
宗偉周蜜續領先
（吉隆坡9日綜合電）世界羽球聯合會昨日宣布最新世界排名，5單項前10名沒有變化，李宗偉繼續領航。
由于2009年第一周沒有重要賽事，因此5個單項的前十名沒有發生變化，這也是本年度的第一個世界排名。

強勢崛起的大馬女雙黃佩蒂與陳儀慧，穩居第2名，中國組合杜婧與于洋繼續位列榜首，男單李宗偉和女單周蜜分別位列第一。

印尼的馬基斯與亨德拉，以及諾瓦與莉莉雅娜，排名男雙與混雙首位。

另一方面，新年第一項賽事馬來西亞超級賽正在進行，不過這次中國國家隊並沒有參與，女雙是中國唯一占據榜首的單項，但于洋與杜婧領先陳儀慧與黃佩蒂僅有5000分，很可能在本周大馬超級賽之后被超越，這樣中國隊恐將在下周世界排名失去全部第一的位置。

古陳叫陣李鄭

雙打．繼續前進！
古陳叫陣李鄭

（吉隆坡8日訊）經過今晚的大馬羽球公開賽次圈賽，大馬在男女雙打，各有1支組合報到8強。

在混雙方面，則是兩支組合晉級。

在首日的比賽，共有29支組合出戰雙打賽，但經過今晚的16強賽，僅有4支組合挺進。

男雙的古健傑與陳文宏以及女雙的陳儀慧與黃佩蒂是東道主的希望，至于混雙的兩支組合古健傑與黃惠齡、雲天豪與陳儀慧，古黃組合較有機會突圍。

古健傑與陳文宏在男雙內戰中，經過22分鐘戰役，以21比17、21比10殺退隊友拉吉夫與陳炳順。他們明日將與韓國次號種子李龍大與鄭在成碰頭。

Proton Malaysia Open 2009 - January 06-11, 2009

KOO-TAN FACE BIG TEST IN QUARTER-FINALS

KUALA LUMPUR (JAN 8, 2008): Former World No. 1s Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong reached the quarter-finals of the Proton Malaysia Open with a straight games victory over compatriots Mohd Razif Abdul Latif-Chan Peng Soon at the Putra Stadium today.

Kien Keat-Boon Heong, who capped a mediocre 2008 by winning the Yonex Sunrise World Super Series Masters Finals title in Kota Kinabalu, showed they are well and truly back on track with their 21-17, 21-10 win over their team mates.

Following a barren 2008, in which their biggest win was the Macau Open, the two young guns, have taken it upon themselves to prove their critics wrong by getting back to their successful paths.

They showed their old fire when they swept to the Masters Finals but will face their biggest test tomorrow.

Kien Keat-Boon Heong have hardly been troubled in the Malaysia Open but will face second seeds Jung jae Sung-Lee Yong Dae tomorrow for a place in the semi-finals.

The South Koreans reached the final eight when they defeated teammates Han Sang Hoon-Hwang Ji Man 21-15, 21-17.

The other pairs who have made it through to the last eight are Danish third seeds Lars Paaske-Jonas Rasmussen, England's Anthony Clark-Nathan Robertson top seeded Indonesians Markis Kido-Hendra Setiawan.

Markis-Hendra reached the quarter-finals when they beat Malaysians Hoon Thien How-Lim Khim Wah 21-17, 21-18 in 27 minutes.
