00:00The legend of badminton, Roslyn Hashim,

00:02is giving hope to Leong Junhao as the main goal

00:05of the men's singles after Lizzy Jiam

00:07withdrew from the open competition in Malaysia.

00:09According to Roslyn, this is a great opportunity for Junhao

00:12to prove his ability in the international arena.

00:15With a neat and high-spirited preparation,

00:16Roslyn is sure that the 29th-ranked player in the world

00:19is able to give a great competition.

00:21The performance of Lizzy Jiam is quite good.

00:29With Lizzy Jiam's presence, she is our only hope.

00:35But for the last time we get the Malaysian Open from Dato Lee Chong Wei in 2018,

00:43if Leong Junhao thinks about this, it might be a pressure on him.

00:49So, what we want is that he gives his best for the Open.

00:57Meanwhile, the head coach of the Men's Singles, Kenneth Jonasson,

01:01will work with Keo Gendron to monitor the performance of his son.

01:05At the same time, make sure that full support and the best strategy

01:08are given in this prestigious event.

01:12For me personally, I look at this as the beginning of the journey, so to speak.

01:18I'm going to sit second chair and let coach Grendon do his thing,

01:25because it would be wrong of me to go in.

01:30So I'll start my observing already next week,

01:32and I can't wait to get started, as I said.

01:35And yeah, this will be step one.

01:40And it's a tough start against Lu Guangyu.

01:45And yeah, interesting challenge, I think.

01:50Malaysia has not held an Open in Malaysia for a long time.

01:53The last time was held by Dato Lee Chong Wei seven years ago, in 2018.

01:58Will Leong Junhao create a new history?

02:00We look forward to his performance at the Aziatar Arena.
