TotalEnergies BWF Sudirman Cup Finals 2023: Group Stage (14-18 May)

why the want to draw against Malaysia? instead of Chinese Taipei ? Chinese Taipei seems weaker.

 

Higashino passed something to Kim Won Ho before the start of their match. Anyone knows what it is?

 

An Se Young beat Akane Yamaguchi in two convincing straight sets, a sign of things to come?

 

Quarter-final will be re-drawn not predetermined, right? Will the draw avoid group re-match (eg KOR-JPN again)?

 

Wake up to Korea simply destroyed JPN 5-0. What happened

 

souvenir? NBA : Nippon Badminton Association

 

If it is redrawn regardless of group standing's what is the point team go all-out to win group to avoid CHINA/Denmark/JPN?
Now that JPN conceded to Korea, JPN is expecting to meet up MAS, INA/THAI, CHN/DEN not Korea again

 

Yeah by redrawn I mean redraw Championship League style, as opposed to World Cup style : )

 

Redraw for knock out stage.
Team from the same group won't be drawn together and group champions will not meet group champions.

Can Denmark upset China?
MS and MD, maybe.

 

No chance, the gaps on ladies side are too large…

 

Looking at the expressions on the faces of Japan's coaches during the MS match, I don't think that the intention was to lose.

 

INA's fate is in the hand of JC and Rahayu/Siti since likely INA may lose out to THA's XD and WS.

 

Ina not playing gregoria, probably feels like its strong enough even if they lose WS

 

chochuwong H2H vs. Gregoria is 3-2 is a much better chance for INA than chochuwong vs. Putri 2-0.

Dejan/Gloria needs a miracle to win vs. Dechapol/Sapsiree

 

is there any chess game here looking for a favorable KO round draw?

 

Yeah I know what it is. They handed over the win to Korea before the match started.

 

Thailand looking good.
May beat Indonesia.
Indonesia may meet China or Malaysia.

 

i think it is high time that Sudirman/TUC cups should change their formats!

1. just two games per match
2. whoever win two games get three points; loser gets nil.
3. if one-one draw, then both sides get one point.
4. Score differences of the two games will be used for ranking purposes.

I think my proposal will make Sudirman/TUC cups shorter, which is better for everyone, eg fans, althetes, sponsors, viewers, etc

For TUC, they can consider just play four matches per day (instead of five).

 

Thailand leading Indonesia 2-0.

 

Kinda know it will be 2-0 or even 3-0. Maybe good tactic for INA by resting up Ginting and GMT especially when the match is 1 day later.

Hope Indonesia gets Malaysia.
