Mew Choo Wong
Encyclopedia
Wong Mew Choo is a female badminton
singles player from Malaysia.
She is known for her exceptional endurance and stamina, the result of training alongside male shuttlers. Without any significant attacking arsenals, she initially built her game based on fitness and defence, with the ability to run a continuous, long rally; sending everything back to tactically superior opponents until a mistake or an attacking opportunity appears. Such tactics have served her well, but put a lot of pressure on her knees and ankles. She has been known to suffer from various long term injuries in her playing career.
Recently, Mew Choo has been playing with more aggression, power and speed. She now shows more willingness to take the initiative and occasionally does unexpected things to keep opponents guessing, such as engaging them into tight net dribbles, which she did in her match against Zhang Ning
in the China Open.
