Women Team Final WANG Xin vs INTANON Ratchanok WANG Shixian vs JINDAPOL Nitchaon JIANG Yanjiao vs TAERATTANACHAI S. TIAN Qin / ZHAO Yunlei vs JINDAPOL / Savitree AMITRAPAI MA Jin / WANG Xiaoli vs TAERATTANACHAI S. / MUNKITCH.. THA seems very brave or they are nothing to lose. THA saves Salakjit and Porntip. Jindapol and Taerattanachai will play twice. If THA players lose, I think the youngsters will have rich and valuable experiences, and let's see their performance in Uber Cup 2 years to go
looks like it, playing not to win but to give exposure to youngsters. Good investment and sacrifice for the future. Watch the great match of Wang Xin playing Ratchanok, the new Mia. Who's Jindapol?
Men's Team Final LIN Dan vs PARK Sunghwan CAI Yun / FU Haifeng vs JUNG JAE SUNG / LEE YONG DAE CHEN Jin vs SON Wanho XU Chen / GUO Zhendong vs YOO YS / KO S CHEN Long vs LEE Hyunil There is no change with semifinal. PSH will challenge Lin Dan. But, I think that is mission impossible to repeat his achievement to defeat Lin Dan in this final. But, wish KOR still have a hope to make upset. Best possibilities to grab a point for KOR are from MD1, MD2, and MS3 3-2 for KOR otherwise CHN win 3-0
All three WS are young players who are less than 20 years old. Ratchanok, you know her. World Junior Champion Jindapol, is also one of best junior player. I forget the detail. Sapsiree Taerattanachai is just gold medalist of Youth Olympic Games, August 2010
For now Thailand have the strongest women's team in SEA territories. But China will win this tie for sure...
And, also I guess THA will provide SALAKJIT enough rest before Individual event SALAKJIT also has big opportunity to grab bronze medal. She is in same quarter with Firdasari, WMC, and Eriko Hirose. Also Duanganong, Kunchala, and Saralee. THA may have opportunity to grab medals also in XD. Moreover, THA XD is seeded number 1. But, I think even CHN will possibly win, wish THA will grab one or two games. Perhaps
It is not CAI Yun / FU Haifeng vs JUNG JAE SUNG / LEE YONG DAE, but CAI Yun / FU Haifeng vs JUNG JAE SUNG / LEE Hyunil from the official website!!!!!!!! WTF!
lol.. i hope its a typo. i wont be surprise if he plays doubles. ( i remem psh once beat mas top pair ), but i can't believe they make him play md1 followed by ms3
Men's team final: CHN vs. KOR...should be interesting. Again, it will depend on the 1st MD match for either team. Women's team final: CHN vs. THA..interesting lineup for THA. But then, they probably know their chances of winning, so they're throwing all the youngsters into the fire. It will benefit the THA women's squad's future, no matter what the result is. Good experience for them..
I think if Thailand playing without pressure, they might surprise in singles but very doubtful any of the doubles can win. On the other hand, China singles are very favourites so they might be facing even more pressure given they have to face junior players But to be honest, even if they give Salakjit and Porntip chance to play, they are also playing without pressure. And by putting this lineup some people will think they are giving up before playing.
THA girls (and I mean girls) will be going out to have some fun. They have over-achieved already, so enjoy!
girls just wanna have fun. A silver is already a good result. Bonus if can get gold. If psh goes berserk, maybe korea can win. Just the stupid mistakes he need to avoid. Nothing to loose being underdog. Whats the time? Any internet live? Website very slow. Anyone facing same issue?
so what's the strategy of THA team? put the junior players instead of the more experienced ones? they will meet CHN for God sake ,they are obviously stronger than JPN or INA ladies .... anyone heard from THA official team yet?
Four years ago in Doha, KOR forced CHN to play last match (BCL vs Shon Seung-mo). If one of first two matches (MS1 & MD1) CHN failed to grab point, KOR has chance to win this time. Looks like MS3 is CHN weakest link, Chen Long vs Lee Hyun-Il. Hyun-il may win the decider match if the score is 2-2.
In this tournament, both Thai men and women team made their history. I think this is very surprising for other countries like Japan, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Congratulations for Thailand. Keep fighting with your pride. You made a good job already, so keep going forward.
Ratchanok a bit tense at the start. trailing 1-3. but what an incredible age, 15 years old, to be in the Asian Games final.
