Sudirman Cup 2011 Day 5 (26 May 2011)

Sensational win for Hoon Thien How/Tan Boon Heong as they beat the World No 2 Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae in 3-sets. Rexy's gamble has paid off! Now, can Tee Jing Yee or Wong Pei Tty/Chin Ee Hui deliver the final point? Still a long way to go...

 

is the score update still needed?

 

can TJY prove to be the new WMC in the making?

 

LD wins 21-14,21-14.

 

Lol, who was the one who put 10% to Ah Tan & Ah How?

Daniel! Your Ah how should get a slot in SEA games & TC next year with this.
I hope someone uploads this match, want to see how Ah Tan & Ah how play international stage

 

Now KOR has to win both WS And WD!! As i have seen the line-up i thought it would be kinda easy for KOR to win 4-1 or at least 3-2...pressure is on

 

The name of the game is HTH. Danielwong's favourite.

 

Bae Yeon Ju is ranked 6 in the world... the Russian lass is ranked 32 in the world... probably this Korean will prove too much for TJY?

 

I initially think the KOR squad will put Yoo Yeon Seong/Ko Sung Hyun on court, because i think JJS/LYD would be exhausted after the long match against MB/CM..

 

MAS leads 2-1.
Now, everyone can play.

 

Malaysia at 0-2

 

someone will tell you later, if he needed it

 

Malaysia at 0-4

 

the fact is the brave decision of the MAS coaching team paid off and the KOR's save bet didnt.

 

not looking good...hows TJY playing?

 

aight... shall stop it for now then

 

waiting for miracle to happen for MAS WS....

 

Upset & shocker !!
Not many would have given this pair a chance but they did it!! Congrats!! Also kudos to the coaches to gamble with KKK/CEH (tho it didnt work) in the XD and bring in HTH. Surprising that HTH kept his calm thru out the match with some stout defending thus frustrating the KOR pair time and again.

Let's hope the gals in the remaining 2 matches take the cue from them!

 

Ko has just played XD in the earlier match. So, it's also risky to field him.

So far, Ko/Yoo have not played a single match and they will not get a single ranking pt from the Sudirman Cup campaign even if KOR advances. This is because the coach is likely to also field Jung/Lee against Fu/Cai.

 

BYJ is trapping TJY a lot...
