Badminton: Korean threat in way of Koo-Tan

KOO Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong are shaping up to be the world’s best doubles pair, but a threat to their supremacy still remains in the shape of the South Koreans.

The Malaysian pair may have notched 30 wins in 32 matches over six tournaments, but they have lost twice in three meetings to South Korea’s second-ranked pair of Lee Jae Jin-Hwang Ji Man. And they have yet to play World No 3 Jung Jae Sung-Lee Yong Dae.

In the recent All England that Kien Keat-Boon Heong won, they met South Korea’s No 3 pair, Han Sang Hoon-Yoo Yeon Seong in the quarter-finals. Though the Malaysians won in two games, it was close.

Kien Keat-Boon Heong may have struck fear in many rivals with their aggressive play but their recently gained awesome credentials can only be complete if they subdue the Koreans.

However, national doubles coach Rexy Mainaky is confident Kien Keat-Boon Heong will be able to unleash their usual devastating game against the Korean pairs.
