Wong Mew Choo secured Malaysia the very important point for the ticket to their first Sudirman Cup semifinals in the history of the 20-year-old competition.

Things didn't start off well with the mixed pairing of Mohd Fairuzizuan Tazari/Wong Pei Tty succumbing to Thomas Laybourn/Kamilla Juhl.

Hendra Setiawan/Mohammad Ahsan of Indonesia compete during the men's doubles competition against Cai Yun and Fu Haifeng of China at the 11th Sudirman Cup World Team Badminton Championship in Guangzhou, capital of south China's Guangdong Province, May 14, 2009.

Lee Chong Wei evened the score with a straight set victory over Jan Jorgenhen who replaced Gade. Lee is likely to face Lin "Super" Dan in the semifinals. "I'm not happy with my performance recently and it will be tough against Lin Dan," said Lee. "But this is a team event and we will try our best to win."

Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong had inspired performance in the men's doubles, winning 21-9, 21-14 over Lars Paaske/Jonas Rasmussen.

After leading 2-1, Wong Mew Choo came on the court to deliver the winning point.

"I am so happy that I could give my team the winning point. But it was not easy on the court. The pressure was on me. What if I failed and the tie would have gone into the very last match, putting the pressure on my teammates," said Wong.

"It was a relief when I scored the winning point and we can now look forward to playing China in the semis," she added.
