Badminton Asia Team Championships 2016 (Group Stage)

I think now you will understand the mental fragility and inconsistency of India's MD pairs. They are literally taking baby steps. Every time they win it is a bonus.

 

looks like MAS men's team has send everything they got against JPN men's team...

Jin Wei is a bright prospect for the future. Satwik Rankireddy, 15 year old doubles player from India is also part of the team but will not get a chance to play. Both of them are good young talents and the youngest players for this tournament.

 

Neck and neck between Wang zhengming vs Ajay.

Ajay took the first game 22-20

Japan unleash their strongest team against India. In the 2014 UBER Cup Semifinal Japan Beat India 3-2 with Saina Nehwal and Sindhu winning their matches.

 

WZM is given a chance to redeem himself but looks like he's going to disappoint again.

 

Satwik is youngest of this tournament . Born in 13-8-2000

Goh Jin wei = jan 2000

 

Child prodigy GJW took the first game convincingly 21-13.

 

Goh Jin Wei took 1st game from Sun Yu 21-13 . ~

 

Sun Yu's self-confidence is going to take a serious hit.

 

Sun Yu recoveres with 8 straight Points now and will win this match.

 

Women's team : KOR v INA line-up => https://www.tournamentsoftware.com/...1A7006D-7CB5-4080-9058-430AACDD0962&match=161

INA team splits their number one WD, Greysia Polii and Nitya K. Maheswari, paired up with Rosyita Eka Putri Sari and Della Destiara Haris. These two scratch pairs are expected to confuse Korean leading WD, Jung/Shin & Chang/Lee.

 

Oh, what happened? I turned my eyes away for a few minutes and Sun Yu charges back strongly. I guess she is finding her footing after a nervous start. Still too early to say, self-induced pressure is a debilitating matter.

 

Another surprise, WZM surges in G2 to equalize comfortably, 21-15.

 

GJW ousted Sun Yu in straight games 21-13, 21-16 convincingly. Wonder kid.

 

CHN v MAS, 2-1, World Junior Champion title is no fluke for Goh Jin Wei, this 16 years old Malaysian teen stunned Sun Yu, 21-13 / 21-16.

 

GJW beat SY in two straight game. ~

 

No I was wrong, GJW recovered after that and took 8 straight Points by herself to gain MPs and then won on MP 2.

 

Goh Jin Wei slays her opponent ......
