    Ok, the two Thai eye candies gave us 42 minutes to feast on them, and bowed out gracefully, thanks to the two...err...Chinese ladies. :p:D:)

    Both jpn pair are usually back court players...and the next doubles match, the jpn pair are both front court players...odd pairing. By Japanese team

    Yeah, I thought Higashino could be put to good use with Fukushima...
    That's what they're lacking ... at least iMO.

    Or maybe Jpn have a casual attitude towards this tournament and is looking to gain experience

    We predicted that beautifully here. However, we didn't expect her to play just 7 points. It just seems to be all in the plan to push the real competition to WS2 and WS3. They still need to win a WD which is a big gamble. But perhaps the percentage is higher this way.

    It's not over yet for JPN. YF/MM looks like they will even it to 1-1 for JPN.

    For THA however, it is not looking good. down 0-2 and HBJ is leading 17-12 on 2nd game.

    Mayu Matsumoto seems to be the key to whether Jpn win or lose in this one

    Matsumoto is brilliant whenever she decides to play well. In the third game she scored most of the points.

    The idea is good. Unfortunately for Thailand, China is just too strong.

    Cannot do anything when China use all their best.

    In Uber Cup 2018, if He Binjiao played WS2. I thing China would win.

    Take experience that time, China give no chance to Thailand this time

    Usually pros will remove the original grip and put on a layer of cushion wrap and put on their preferred grip. She never took the original one off
