China vs. Thailand lineup: ZSW/HYQ vs. Dechapol/Sapsiree Shi Yuqi vs. Kantaphon Li/Liu vs. Tinn/Kittinupong Chen YF vs. Ratchanok CQC/JYF vs. Puttita/Sapsiree Would love to watch CYF vs. RI, not sure if they will get to play... and in the US we have live on TV!
Thanks for the link. From the article: "The top two nations from each group qualified for the knockout stages and then an another draw was made for the teams qualifying for the knockouts. China was seeded No. 1 for the Knockout stages and were up against Denmark for the quarter finals clash." Just realized that the last eight teams were also re-seeded again along with the redraw... and I guess it's based on their earlier match results in the group stage, for at the beginning the JPN team was seeded #1 and CHN #2.
I actually think Dechapol/Sapsiree are the best in Mixed Doubles right now. Its kinda bold, but its just my observation.
I agree with you...but with slight caution. They are definitely the most improved pair in the XD scene but they will still need their SG open form to beat the WR1 again.
So my prediction for this lineup was almost correct, just missed the WD where Puttita was selected whilst my pick was Jongkolphan
Morten is the commentator for CHN vs THA, that means steen and gill will be the commentator for INA vs JPN...that's good
Looking at the success of ASY for Korea, I wonder why Kunlavut Vitidsarn was not selected in this THA team. He has been crushing it in the juniors competition, winning 2 World Junior Championship already. Maybe they thought that he wasn‘t ready or good enough in seniors level yet.
