Group 2A : SIN v NED (07.00pm)
Court 2 :
Group 1D : KOR v IND (01.00pm)
Group 2B : HKG v USA (07.00pm)
As predicted, CHN and another top contender JPN topped group 1A and 1B respectively while GER and TPE were out as runner-up. China is troubled by Thailand in first and last tie as they took gambling to field Cai/Fu and new scratch XD Liu/Zhao against the more compact Thai pairs despite scored 5-0 once again. It's pretty smooth for JPN to tame TPE, 4-1 as Tai Tzu Ying stole the only winning point for her team.
DEN v INA line-up => https://www.tournamentsoftware.com/...DB73EE0-97F1-4387-A72F-52B49FBE4586&match=430
MD, Kim Astrup/Anders Skaarup Rasmussen v Mohammad Ahsan/Hendra Setiawan
WS, Line Kjaersfeldt v Bellaetrix Manuputty
MS, Jan O Jorgensen v Firman Abdul Kholik
WD, Maiken Fruergaard/Maria Helsbol v Nitya Krishinda Maheswari/Greysia Polii
XD, Mads Pieler Kolding/Sara Thygesen v Praveen Jordan/Debby Susanto
Both INA and DEN have secured their quarterfinal berths and they will face each other to hunt first position. On paper scenario, INA team has slight advantage to defeat Danish squad and tops group 1C, the scoreline could be 4-1 or 3-2 as this former champion will scoop three points through doubles discipline, equal chance in WS and Jorgensen is strong fave to win over young talent Kholik. Both teams rotate their players, DEN doesn't field Conrad/Kolding while INA rests Ahmar/Natsir who displayed below par performance against England team two days ago.
KOR v IND line-up => https://www.tournamentsoftware.com/...DB73EE0-97F1-4387-A72F-52B49FBE4586&match=439
MD, Kim Gi Jung/Kim Sa Rang v Pranaav Jerry Chopra/Akhsay Dewalkar
WS, Bae Yeon Ju v Saina Nehwal
MS, Son Wan Ho v Kashyap Parupalli
WD, Chang Ye Na/Jung Kyung Eun v Jwala Gutta/Ashwini Ponnappa
XD, Ko Sung Hyun/Kim Ha Na v Manu Attri/Sikki Reddy N.
It's decision time for KOR and IND in this event, either go home early or still survived.
Well, group of death is full of surprise, none could predict MAS will top group 1D and KOR is hanging by the thread against the underdog Indian team. Sung Ji Hyun and the world #1 Lee YD/Yoo YS are absent from today's list while IND opts Kashyap against Son WH to steal MS point. Nothing is impossible for IND to beat their more favourite opponent who will be under pressure due to their shocking defeat at opening match against MAS team. The MS tie should be the key of winning either KOR or IND as most likely KOR will pick first point through MD and IND is favoured to nail WS match.
