Badminton Malaysia Open Super Series 2009 at Stadium Putra, Bukit Jalil

Last week was the Malaysia Badminton Open Super Series 2009 at Stadium Putra, Bukit Jalil. I went there on Friday to watch the Quarter Final. This was the second Malaysia Open for me after the Malaysia Open 2008 last year which also held at the same venue. This year China pull out all their players including top men singles Lin Dan, Chen Jin, and women singles Xie Xin Fang. However other top players from Korea, Denmark and Indonesia was sending their player here. So it worth to watch also although without Chinese players. I bought the Upper Tier seat which cost RM 15, it is cheaper compare last year RM 28.

The game start at 6.00pm and I went into the stadium around 6.10 pm. I reach at Bukit Jalil 5.37pm but I have to wait for long queue to buy the ticket.

The game just started with mix doubles when I when into the stadium. Malaysia have 2 pairs in this event but both pair also lost.

Koo Kien Kiet & Ng Hui Lin Lost to Joachim Fischer Nielsen & Christinna Pedersen of Denmark straight set 21-9, 12-12

Hoon Tien How & Chin Eei Hui lost to Lee Yong Dae & Lee Hyo Jung of Korea also straight set 21-8, 21-12

Koo Kien Keat after he the mix doubles, he look unhappy. I wonder is it because of losing the game or tired.

Women singles have 2 representatives but both was lost to Hong Kong Player. Lydiah Cheah lost to Wang Chen 21-15, 21-10.

While Julia Wong lost to Zhou Mi 21-18, 21-14 in straight set.

Finally when Malaysia hero Lee Chong Wei show up on the court, the whole stadium was going crazy and everyone is screaming 'LEE CHONG WEI'. Lee Chong Wei was fighting Simon Santoso of Indonesia at the quarter final. Simon Santoso had gave Lee Chong Wei a hard fight by showing a very good defensive play before he eventually lost to Lee Chong Wei in rubber set 21-15, 16-21, 21-11.

This game is not only a game between the both player

It also a war involving supporter from both country

Another player in men singles who caught the attention of the people at the stadium is our Malaysian young player Daren Liew who against Peter Gade of Denmark at the quarter final.

Although he lost 21-12, 12-14 but Daren show a good fighting spirit in the game. He had showed a good attacking game however it is not enough to win the game. Peter Gade is too strong for him.

After men singles, it was women doubles which Wong Pei Tty & Chin Eei Hui is against Zhang Jie Wen & Yang Wei of China who came to Malaysia Open with own expenses. Our Malaysian pair lost 17-21, 21-19, 21-11.

Beside mens singles involving Lee Chong Wei. People here also waiting for the match between Koo Kien Keat & Tan Boon Heong and Lee Yong dae & Jung Jae Sung of Korea.

Although the Malaysian pair lost to the korean 21-13, 17-21, 21-19 but it was a close game. The audience here was enjoying the game and all of us was very 'gan jiong' until the end of the game.

Before leaving, I wanted to buy something

However it end up with going back empty handed because it was quite expensive for me to buy. But still I was enjoying the game here.
