This is very different from a normal individual championship though: as you know Thomas/ Uber cup are the most prestigious team event, ocurring only every two years. You would think that at least every asian country- especially a former winner such as indonesia- would get some/fair representation on TV courts. I'm not saying that China shouldn't be on court 1, I'm saying that every single China match throughout the tournament in both Uber and Thomas has been played on TV courts.

Now let's hope Ahsan/Setiawan not screw up. TBH in team events I kind of lack confident with them specially Ahsan. 2014 bad memory still felt very fresh
