MALAYSIA’s top women’s singles shuttler Wong Mew Choo is looking more stylish. To top it, there is a new air of confidence around her.
And these are seen as good signs in her bid to haul herself back among the top 16 in the world rankings this year. She is now in 24th spot and the drop is mainly due to her inconsistent form caused by knee problems.
Mew Choo said that she was better prepared, physically and mentally, after going for treatment in November.
“I have taken stem cell injection treatment for my knees. For the last three weeks, I have gone through weight training. I am physically better prepared,” said Mew Choo, who has in the draw for the Malaysia Open an array of Chinese stars in her path.
The 28-year-old Mew Choo said that it was important to gain confidence in her game, especially when in the task to qualify for two major events – the world championships in August and the London Olympics next year.
“The Malaysia Open is a good platform to get my game going again. I want to be more consistent by reaching at least the quarter-finals in Super Series events this year,” she said.
“The Olympic qualifying period starts in May. And I have the next few months to become more stable.
“The world ranking is equally important to me. Without a good standing, I will always have to meet seeded players in the early rounds. A better draw comes with a top 16 ranking.”
On the tough task in the Malaysia Open, Mew Choo said: “I’m so used to meeting top Chinese players in the early rounds.
“China will always be a big challenge but now, we must also watch out for the players from Thailand. I am determined to be in the front pack once again.”
Mew Choo will play against Lu Lan of China in the first round tomorrow. If she advances, she can expect a match against top seed Wang Xin of China.Also in the same half of the draw are third seed Wang Yihan of China, Yip Pui Yin of Hong Kong and Thailand’s rising star Inthanon Ratchanok.
Mew Choo has the credentials of being the finalist of the Malaysia Open in 2007. In the same year, she also did well to upset Xie Xingfang of China to reach the quarter-finals of the world championships at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil and went on to win the China Open.
