EXPECT the temperature to rise when world No. 1 Koo Kien
Keat-Tan Boon Heong take on their nemeses Jung Jae-sung-Lee Yong-dae of
South Korea in the quarter-finals of the world championships at a
sweltering hot Pierre de Coubertin Stadium today.
Yesterday, top seeds Kien Keat-Boon Heong almost made life difficult for themselves in the second game of a third-round match against Chai Biao-Zhang Nan but made quick adjustments to beat the third-ranked Chinese pair 21-17, 21-17 in 40 minutes.
In contrast, Jae-sung-Yong-dae were ferocious in their attacks and blasted Singapore’s Hendri Kurniawan Saputra-Hendra Wijaya, winning 21-14, 21-8 in just 26 minutes.
Both Kien Keat-Boon Heong and Jae-sung-Yong-dae have not won the world title and they will certainly go all out to keep their hopes alive.

Kien Keat
said that they would have to play better than what they dished out
against the Chinese yesterday.
“There will have to be more accuracy and better quality from us. We cannot make errors like we did today,” he said.
Against the young Chinese, Kien Keat-Boon Heong started well in the opening game and it looked as though it was more of a battle of serves.
Chai Biao-Zhang Nan did well to catch the Malaysians twice consecutively with a tricky high serve. But later an upset Chai Biao was given a yellow card for questioning the umpire’s decision to fault him for serving above the waist.
One would have expected the Chinese to slow down in the second but they stayed cool to take a 17-15 lead, mostly from careless errors by Kien Keat and Boon Heong.
“Fortunately, we took stock of what was happening and got our strategies right again,” said Kien Keat.
Boon Heong said that they would go all out to end a two-year unbeaten run against the Koreans.
“We know their style of play and it is important for us to adopt a patient game. We have come this far and we will give our best,” he said.
At their last meeting in the semi-finals of the Taiwan Open, Kien Keat-Boon Heong were beaten in rubber games.
In another quarter-final match-up today, former world champions Markis Kido-Hendra Setiawan of Indonesia will also be out to end an unbeaten run against Taiwan’s rising star Fang Chieh-min-Lee Sheng-mu.
Said Markis: “We have lost to them three times this year and that is not a record that we are happy with. Overall, they are a good pair and we will try to get the better of them this time.”
Yesterday, Markis-Hendra showed their strong desire to win a second men’s doubles world title by beating their younger compatriots Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki-Rian Sukmawan 21-12, 21-9 in just 20 minutes.
They had threatened to withdraw from the championships after a tiff with their national association (PBSI).
“It is great that we made it to the championships. Now that we are here, we only have one aim – to win the title.”
The other quarter-final matches will be between China and Denmark pairs.
Defending champions Cai Yun-Fu Haifeng, who are looking impressive, will take on Mathias Boe-Carsten Mogensen while Guo Zhengsong-Xu Chen will play against All-England champions Lars Paaske-Jonas Rasmussen.
