Chong Wei Aims to Cast Out 2004 Cup Finals Demons
National number one men’s singles shuttler Lee Chong Wei will be out to exorcise the ghosts of the 2004 Thomas Cup Finals in Jakarta.
It was Chong Wei’s first Finals and he played as the third singles. Unfortunately for him, Malaysia were sent packing in the quarter-finals.
“It was my first but worst Finals outing. I do not want a repeat of that,” Chong Wei said before leaving for Jakarta for the Finals, which will begin on Sunday at the Senayan Indoor Stadium.
Chong Wei said that he would try to rally support from the Indonesian fans.
“The Indonesian fans can be quite supportive if we are not playing against their players. I have experienced this when I won the Indonesian Open title there (in 2007). I will try to win their hearts again,” said Chong Wei.
Despite having a big role to play in this year’s challenge, Chong Wei said he was not feeling the jitters.
“I used to get nervous. Now, after playing in so many major tournaments, I feel like this is just another task. I will stay focused and give my best,” he said.
