Chong Wei failed

21-19, 21-19 was the score and Chong Wei would not forget it. When entire Malaysia was eagerly waiting for the 1st World Champion cum Merdeka gift, it just fall short when Chong Wei was shown the exit way by Chen Long.

Both players showed a world class masterpiece. Though Chen Long is younger, but Chong Wei matched the performance and he even came back from 10-5 down during 2nd set.

It was really a nail biting finish, where the game could have gone either way. End of the day, Chen Long proved he deserves the world number 1 ranking and ready to replace/succeed Lin Dan.

But how about Malaysia? Chong Wei Feng and Goh Soon Huat was not even up to the mark and lost in early rounds. Worse thing, we even lost to players from India and Russia.

It was a heartbreak during Thomas Cup and now it continues for World Championship. Can it be healed for Asian Games?
