the KOR are leading...21-19, 17-15... MD1: TAN Boon Heong/HOON Thien How - YOO Yeon Seong/LEE Yong Dae 19-21, 19-21 in 48' MAS 1 - 1 KOR
Ayaka TAKAHASHI/Misaki MATSUTOMO succeed to narrow their H2H deficit (2-4; lost in their two last matches) against Christinna PEDERSEN/Kamilla RYTTER JUHL, winning the big point for JPN team convincingly, 21-15, 15-21, 21-12. JPN 2 - 0 DEN Now I don't see how the Danish can stop the Japanese from topping the group. In fact JPN most likely will steamroll DEN to 5-0!
They really need a good doubles pair - otherwise no margin for error in matches. Refer to 1998, 2000, 2002 Thomas Cups where China had good, high ranking singles players but still cannot beat Indonesia.
UC: MAS is leading 3-0 against GER... just imagine...supposed YANG Li Lian didn't lose to Anna Thea MADSEN, 19-21 in decider, it would be MAS' slot in QF, what a big big loss!
Now it's Kashyap's turn to fail the IND team ... seems the bottom of the stack is destined MS2: Dieter DOMKE bt Kashyap PARUPALLI 23-21, 14-21, 21-14 in 55'
CHONG Wei Feng keeps MAS chance alive to top the group through a gruelling match! MS2: CHONG Wei Feng bt LEE Dong Keun 19-21, 21-17, 21-14 in 1:18
Yup, she has full confidence here particularly when she stunned higher rank WS Sayaka Takahashi, interesting to wait her performance post UC.
Huh..the player who disappointed me the most is definitely kashyap....n now even akshay pranav trailing
Yes. amazing that the pair eventually make a contribution to the IND team... Lets see whether Gurusaidutt will again be the savior to the team
Danish pair succeed to deny the team being steamrolled by the Japanese WD2: Miyuki MAEDA./Reika KAKIIWA - Line DAMKJAER KRUSE/Marie ROEPKE 18-21, 15-21 in 39' JPN 3 - 1 DEN
MALAYSIA WOMEN TEAM - GERMANY WOMEN TEAM: 5-0 still feel empathetic to their narrowest lost to the Danish team
