CHN v MAS, 2-1 -- MAS stole 1 point through BD Darren Issac Devadas/Tai Ai Khang def. Pei Tianyi/Wang Yilu, 8-21 / 21-17 / 21-15.
JPN v KOR, 3-1. As predicted, Nozomi Okuhara secures winning point for Japan def. Kim Hyo-min, 21-13 / 21-15.
interesting enough japan sure win bd so let see if nazomi can beat sunyu and kento to beat china bs if both single won by japanese,they wil win it
Argh, if only XD won! Anyway, not bad for a team who lost to Hong Kong China China is not a dominating force in the juniors recently, just strong and one of the contenders
japan field their top player my bet is on japan to be the 3rd country to win ajc team event(beside china and malaysia)
Team INA has seriously under-estimated the strength of Japan's doubles. They will be serious contenders for the Individual Titles too.
I am looking forward to it. Hopefully both players don't pack home before the final. Sindhu is one of the players who can stop both of them I believe. And perhaps Busanan?
