“I can’t help but feel disappointed. The venue is not conducive for a big event like this. Can you imagine that the cool air from the air-conditioners was aimed directly at us from above. It affected the flow of the shuttle,” said Wei Feng after beating R. Satheishtharan 25-27, 21-12, 21-8 in his first Group A match.
“The quality of the match is affected. I hope that the hosts will, at least, switch off the air conditioner for the next few days.
“The hall can hardly fit three courts. My team-mate Iskandar (Zulkarnain Zainuddin)’s court was so close to the wall that it affected his play. This is the national championships and I wished it would have been held at a bigger place.
“I guess, it is too late to make any changes ... we just have to make do with what we have right now,” added Wei Feng, who is eyeing to become the national champion for the first time.
