00:00Malaysia's hope to win the men's and women's singles title at the All-England 2025
00:15received a great blow when the two main representatives were eliminated in the first round.
00:19The men's and women's singles player, Lizzy Jah, and her partner, Ellen Chia Sohoyuk,
00:23were eliminated in a shocking loss on the first day of the competition.
00:26This was a great blow for the national team,
00:29as out of the eight representatives, only one was worthy of the second round,
00:33namely Goh Sun Huat and Shevon Lai.
00:35It resulted in the six Malaysian representatives
00:38who were still fighting to get to the finals.
00:43Malaysia lost the men's and women's singles title at the All-England 2025,
00:47while the former champion of 2011, Lizzy Jah, was eliminated in the first round.
00:51Lizzy Jah had a good start by winning the first set in the first round,
00:55but lost to Hong Kong player Ng Kalung Angus in the next two sets,
00:5916-21 and 12-21 in one hour and two minutes.
01:03Lizzy Jah also did not deny that the excitement she had
01:07since the last round of the BWF last edition
01:09came back when her leg movement seemed uncomfortable
01:12during the interval in the first set.
01:14However, with a high spirit of struggle and difficulty,
01:18Lizzy Jah continued her mission to finish the match.
01:22I think Kalung is a good player.
01:26You can see how she controls the game.
01:29She has a lot of variety.
01:33To be honest, yes.
01:35I actually wanted to retire at 11 points in the first set.
01:40I told the umpire, but I don't know.
01:44Somehow, my brain suddenly said,
01:47I want to try again.
01:48So I went back.
01:49The umpire called me.
01:52Fortunately, I still had time to tell him that I wanted to try again.
01:59Luckily, I was able to win the first set,
02:01and I was able to play a game like this.
02:02I think it's okay in this situation.
02:04I want to try to see where my limit is,
02:07and in this situation, where I can go.
02:11There is also a risk to be more serious about injuries,
02:16but sometimes you have to take risks.
02:22I'm not sure yet.
02:24I'll have to see how my injuries are.
02:27I haven't planned it yet.
