Indonesia should take heart from this Korean performance, they could do it too tomorrow for the Thomas Cup.
Will it be 6th time lucky for Korea to get the cup for the first time? as long as i remember no team can come back from 2-0 hole to win in final of Thomas/Uber Cup. CMIIW
they did it! Lee Hyo Jung / Kim Min Jung (KOR) beat Ma Jin / Wang Xiaoli (CHN) 18-21 / 21-12 / 21-15 giving Korea a 2-0 lead. LYB talking to the players. i cannot imagine him being happy about it. ML/WXL heads down, really down, maybe even in tears. congrats to the Korean pair. they played very well.
I think I am the only 1 to PAW on Korea Unfortunately, I cancelled it But China can definately still come back and win 3-2
It's time for KOR team to lift Uber Cup after being runner-up numerous times! Huge burden on Wang Xin now...
CHN 0-2 KOR WS1 = WYH vs BSH : 21-23 11-21 WD1 = MJ/WSL vs LHJ/KMJ : 21-18 12-21 15-21 The "cuties" fighting like warriors
It might be harder for the Indonesians because the China players are the same as the 2004-2008 squad. The China girls today are different from 2008 players. I think even though WYH, WX, WSX, and JYJ are greater than most singles from other countries, they are not yet as good as ZN or XXF.
KOR team also consists of youngsters, granted there are a couple of veterans. But yes, this year, CHN is clearly vulnerable with all the first-timers in the team.
this is a risk that China took, they sent youngsters that has no UC experience to play. they either rises to the occasion, or crumble against pressure. let's see how the next matches play out.
