Great match indeed. ASY was dying after every point at the end of the third game. Even without spectators, the Japanese and Korean teammates made as much noise as a whole arena, lol.
I think Malaysia singles players really like playing in the stadium. Meanwhile Jonathan having problem, not sure with the court or with other thing so I guess it will not be 3-0. Minions seem to play ok this week and their head to head with mas pair shows they are comfortable playing them
I thought minions are ranked no1, should not they okay fist double? Sent from my Mi A2 using Tapatalk

Japan women's team defends BATC crown, forced to hold their breath in opening showdown before going smoothly in next two encounters, WD1 & WS2. A high quality and full intensity in first match when Akane Yamaguchi edges past An Se Young in pulsating 83 minutes of play, 21-18 / 19-21 / 23-21, a really physically demanding clash. Yamaguchi paves the way for Japanese team to blank Korea, 3-0, she's playing instrumental role in this final, trailing behind mostly at deciding game then she saved five match points, 16-20, 20-21 to outmaneuver the very fatigue her younger opponent. Both players look fatigue at deciding game but the Japanese still has energy reserve to counter attack and better endurance in long rallies. Fukushima/Hirota extending their winning record against familiar foes Lee SH/Shin SC then the under pressure Sung Ji Hyun succumbs to Sayaka Takahashi. An Se Young didn't show up in victory ceremony, just wondering what happened to her? Congrats to all medalists MEN'S TEAM FINAL (04.00pm) Indonesia is still favourite but it's not an easy task to overcome the underdog yet surprising Malaysia team. INA fields scratch pair Ahsan/Alfian as second MD, looks like Hendra Setiawan has unwell condition.
