    Just what Xia Xuanze and Zhang Jun needed most to consolidate their positions in CBA

    In bed, sick.

    I have also learned that AA has not been 100 % fit for fight. I think I heard migraine. That is probably why he didn't play.

    Hopefully CL will be much more motivated again after today's defeat. He still had it in him.

    Well, while it's true for some of us that it'll be a most fitting finale for Lin Dan to be the one delivering the final winning point for China's Thomas Cup 2018 campaign, but, I guess life is fair, he's been there and done that so many times basking in all the radiance and glory that it's time to give others a chance.

    Sadly, Chen Long still can't conquer the demon in him at team majors, may go down as his life's greatest regret.

    Aren't you being a bit too harsh on him? The opponents were probably playing much better in team majors. At least this time, the team has won the cup. Nobody expected him to win, he was kind of the underdog today. Put up quite a fight in G2 while playing off form almost got out of Momota's grasp in the end of G2. So it wasn't really a bad result.

    Nope,Chen Long didn't play as well as I thought he could, not at his best,, not taking anything away from Kento Momota who's been outstanding throughout the tournament. That's life, you win some, you lose some.

    Anyway, Chen Long has two WC and one OG to his name already.

    Li Junhui was still with full with emotion when he saw Ahsan/Setiawan on the podium and had to be intervened by Team Mates as the situation was getting worse.

    Zhang Nan is the MVP of all team and individual events.

    25 years from now, he will surpass Park JB.
