I woke up early in the morning to catch the live telecast of the IBF World Championship. It was too bad that Lee Chong Wei has lost to Taufik Hidayat 3/15, 12/15. The misfortunate also fell on Chan Chong Meng / Koo Kien Keat. They were defeated by Chandra Wijaya and Sigit Budiato, 9/15, 11/15.
The most exciting match was the men double match between Tony Gunawan / Bach Howard against Luluk Hadiyanto / Yulianto Alven. Tony has made a miracle for the USA. They won in straight games 15/9. 15/13. The Indonesian pair had been attacking the weaker Howard throughout the entire game. But he was able to hang on. Tony showed his magnificient badminton skill to win the match eventually.
