In-form Daren Liew determined to give his best shot in upcoming Super Series tournaments
Malaysia’s in-form Men’s Singles shuttler Daren Liew is quite determined to give his best shot in the upcoming Super Series tournament including China Open and Hong Kong Open and will try his best to qualify for the World Super Series Finals, which will
be held from December 12 to 16, in Shenzhen.
The world Number 18 Daren, who has been showing a remarkable performance on court for the last few months, played with tremendous precision and remained successful in getting into the row of top shuttlers who stand a good chance to qualify for the Super
Series Finals 2012.
Daren has been putting in extra effort to become one of the top shuttlers and have achieved this honour last month when he claimed the Men’s Singles title at the French Open Super Series 2012 which was held in Paris.
However, Daren needs to break into top-12 bracket to qualify for the Finals and if he does, he will become the third Malaysian to participate in this prestigious tournament after Lee Chong Wei and Wong Choong Hann.
The Malaysian shuttler needs to perform well in both upcoming tournaments and he has to reach into the semi-finals which will enhance his chances to book his place for the Super Series Finals which is one of the highest paid tournaments in the whole world.
Only the top eight players in the super series standings will make the cut for the final rounds in Shenzhen. Considering the importance of this tournament, Daren will be among the luckiest few who could make the cut.
While talking about his Chance for the Finals, Daren is not certain as it seems to be an uphill task but he is determined to take this challenge and will give his best to put up strong show. Considering his recent performances, many experts think that he
will create trouble for all top shuttlers who come in his way in the forthcoming Super Series tournaments.
Daren’s confidence is sky high at the moment as he has recently won the biggest title of his professional career and is in a position to pose threat to the top shuttlers of the world in the forthcoming tournaments.
He stated, “If you had asked me a couple of months ago, I wouldn't be talking about a top 15 position in the world ranking or the super series finals. The French Open has changed all that. Because of that success, I am in with a chance to end the year on
a high.”
While talking about his prospects in the upcoming events, Daren said that it will be a tough task as he has been handed over a tricky draw when he will be facing many top shuttlers of Indonesia, China, Japan and Korea.
He added, "In China, I need to beat Ajay Jayaram (India), Jan Jorgensen (Denmark) and Chen Jin (China) to reach the semis. The Hong Kong Open is even more difficult as I will need to beat Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka (Indonesia) and Chen Long (China) to make
the last eight.”
However, considering the recent form of Daren, many people have faith that he will be among the top contenders in China and Hong Kong Opens and will stand a good chance to spoil the party of his opponents and make the cut to qualify for the Finals.
