2016 TOTAL BWF Thomas-Uber Cup Finals - Day 3 (17th May) : Group Stage

Congratulations to the India team. Now the MD 2 is doing a god job.

 

India should have won the first MS. What a pity Ajay couldn't win.

 

it's not Jin Wei or WD2 I'm worried about... it's Ho Yen Mei...

 

I have a technical question.
In the rankings, Anna Thea Madsen is ranked higher than Mette Poulsen. How come Anna can be WS3 when Mette is WS2?

 

agree , it will be an uphill task for HO YEN MEI!

 

Lets just hope that Ho Yen Mei will deliver. Goh Jin Wei did a good job at such a young age. The commentator kept praising her. Even Her own personal coach gave her a pat at her shoulder saying you did a good job at such a young age. Goh Jin Wei coach really likes her a lot.

 

when the seeding was done mette was higher than anna.

 

Previously when seeding is done Mette ranking is higher.

 

Hope somebody explain this. Good question.

 

I already explained. Mette world ranking is higher when the seeding is done for Uber Cup. Only this week Anna ranking is higher than Mette so that is not considered.

 

in the knockout stages two will again need to swap places.

 

if Ho yen mei were to face Metta , her chance would be higher a lot ....

 

Not exactly. Below is what I got from the regulations (last page of http://system.bwf.website/documents...2 - Regulations for Thomas Cup & Uber Cup.pdf) -

Thursday immediately preceding
to 14 days prior to the start of
Finals Stage Competition

Use World Ranking for the deciding the
ranking order of the singles and doubles
players.

 

In the rankings of 28 April, Mette is ranked slightly higher than Anna

 

From how the regulation is worded, seems like the playing order is fixed throughout the tournament based on rankings of 28 Apr.

 

I think they follow last week's rankings... Anna just recently climbed to 44...

I love the line up , sacrificing KKK, and BANKING on TWK/TBH !!! great strategy .... if TWK/TBH can win then mas can top the group!

 

Hoping malaysia second women double can tie up 2-2 to make the last single as decider

I think they should maintain the original pair instead of splitting them?
