Congrats! Malaysia will be playing China for a spot in final this Friday at 2:30 pm.
KUALA LUMPUR, (Stadiumastro) - Mohd Hafiz Hashim was the hero for Malaysia as his victory over Denmark's Joachim Persson send Malaysia into the Thomas Cup semi-finals on Wednesday.
Again, Malaysia's first two came from Lee Chong Wei and Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong, who have no problems giving the home team an early lead.
Chong Wei chalked a 21-17, 21-17 win over Peter Hoeg Gade before Kien Keat-Boon Heong send the stadium into raptures with a 21-17, 21-19 win over Carsten Mogensen-Mathias Boe.
Then Wong Choong Hann came out and delivered the best game he has shown in the Thomas Cup.
Choong Hann went down fighting in three sets as Jan Jorgensen clinched a 22-20, 16-21, 21-18 win to give Denmark a lifeline.
In the second doubles, Lars Paaske-Jonas Rasmussen struck hard over Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif-Hoon Thien How to send the tie into the final match.
Most would have thought the tie was lost, but Hafiz stepped up to take the mantle. And he redeemed himself in an instant.
A 21-12, 21-10 victory over Joachim was enough to make the stadium remember his name as everyone exploded into celebrations.
