Woon all smiles after reaching All-England q-finals with Vivian

http://thestar.com.my/sports/story.asp?file=/2013/3/9/sports/12814206&sec=sportsGunning for more ranking points: Vivian Hoo (bottom) and Woon Khe Wei will play Miyuki Maeda-Satoko Suetsuna of Japan for a place in the semi-finals.

THERE was a sparkle in Woon Khe Wei’s eyes after reaching her first-ever All-England quarter-finals.

It was her best result since hurting her ankle in January last year. The injury made her a bench-warmer for the most part of the year.

On Thursday, however, she was on fire as she combined superbly with Vivian Hoo to knock out fourth seed and world No. 7 Eom Hye-won-Jang Ye-na of South Korea 21-13, 17-21, 21-17 in 66 minutes in the women’s doubles.

The breakthrough has given Khe Wei and Vivian a big boost in their bid to qualify for this year’s World Championships in August.

Khe Wei, who welcomed the breakthrough as an early birthday present, was overjoyed.

“Vivian and I played well to reach our first Super Series quarter-finals after a year – and to do it at the All-England is great,” said Khe Wei, who will turn 24 on March 18.

“I felt no pain during the match against the Koreans but I can feel it now,” she laughs.

“I must continue to monitor (her ankle condition). It’s been a tough one year for me. I have stayed away from competition for many months. I’m glad that despite all the difficulties, Vivian has stuck by my side.”

Before picking up the injury at last year’s Malaysian Open, Khe Wei-Vivian were riding high. They showed that they were able replacements for former internationals Chin Eei Hui-Wong Pei Tty by winning the Indonesian Open Grand Prix Gold in 2011.

“The injury stalled our progress. I could take the physical pain but it was a mentally taxing experience. I’m stronger now and hope to build from here,” said Khe Wei

Vivian, who will turn 23 a day after Khe Wei’s birthday, feels that the hard work they’ve been putting in under coach Rosman Razak is finally bearing fruit.

“We came here with good preparation. We did well to control the Koreans from the start and we hope to continue playing with confidence against our next opponents,” said Vivian.

Their last eight opponents are sixth seeds Mi­­yuki Maeda-Satoko Suetsuna of Japan. The Ma­­­­laysians have beaten them once in three meetings – in the second round of last year’s Ma­­­laysian Open where Khe Wei injured her ankle.

Whatever the outcome, world No. 28 Khe Wei-Vivian’s good showing here will surely help them break into the top 24 – and strengthen their claim for a place in the world meet.

Norshahida Stamps Her Class To Reach The Last Four

PETALING JAYA: Bukit Jalil Sports School’s (BJSS) Norshahida Baha­rom is clearly the player to beat in the MSSM girls’ Under-18 badminton singles after smashing her way into the semi-finals.

The top seeded Norshahida of Federal Territories defeated See To Chia Yee 21-12, 21-13 in the second round before going on to beat Penang’s P. Dheshnee 21-15, 21-15 to make the last four.

The 17-year-old shuttler, who is under the charge of former national player Wong Mew Choo at BJSS, will next face joint third-fourth seed Kaw Meng Wei of Johor for a place in the final.

World Junior Champs Nelson And Teo Out To Break The Jinx

PETALING JAYA: Shuttlers Nelson Heg Wei Keat-Teo Ee Yi (pic) are determined to break the hoodoo of being world junior champions.

None of the previous six Malaysian winning pairs have made the transition to senior ranks, but Wei Keat-Ee Yi believe they have the quality and the will to succeed where the others failed.

Gan Wye Teck-Chan Chong Ming (winners in 1996), Chan Chong Ming-Teo Kok Seng (1998), Hoon Thien How-Tan Boon Heong (2004), Mak Hee Chun-Teo Kok Siang (2008), Chooi Kah Ming-Ow Yao Han (2009) and Ow Yao Han-Yew Hong Kheng (2010) all failed to make the grade. It was either a case of fractured styles or fractured relationships. Either way, the partnerships never stood the test of time beyond the junior years .

Khe Wei Wants To Iimprove Consistency To Push For Olympic Spot

PETALING JAYA: Women’s doubles pair Woon Khe Wei (pic)-Vivian Hoo have taken the badminton world by storm since their breakthrough semi-final appearance in the Thailand Open last May.

Khe Wei-Vivian, who are now the second ranked Malaysian pair, have since scaled greater heights, reaching the quarter-finals of the Vietnam Open and the semi-finals of the Taiwan Open before winning their first-ever title – the Indonesian Open GP Gold last October.

And they have, along the way, knocked out several top pairs, including world No. 8 Meiliana Jauhari-Greysia Polii of Indonesia and China’s Cheng Shu-Pan Pan and Bao Yixin-Zhong Qianxin.

Khe Wei-Vivian also reached the semi-finals of the India Open GP Gold last week, before narrowly losing to top seeds and world No. 5 Miyuki Maeda-Satoko Suetsuna of Japan.
