YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!! Jonathan Christie eventually beat Li Shifeng 21-14, 18-21, 21-14 in a tough 3-sets encounter! Li Shifeng was visibly exhausted and tired; as he won only 3 pts after the mid-interval. Team INA finally wins the Thomas Cup for the first time in 19 years, after beating CHN 3-0!
3-1 vs favourites Denmark, 3-0 vs China. Can't win the title much more convincing than that. Very well deserved.
LSF tiring and outwitted, he's losing so many net dribbles, and just when he's watching the net, JC started to lift and clear more , making his experience count.
Congratulations to Team Indonesia. A shaky start to well deserved victory in the end. Great to see Ginting and Christie back in their element.
Somebody already updated the Wiki page to show Indonesia won 3-0 and won the 2020 Thomas Cup, within minutes after they won, lol: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Cup Must be an Indonesia badminton fan, haha.
I know jojo wasn't convincing earlier in the tournament but he played so well these last 2 days especially yesterday, had he lost against AA yesterday indonesia would've probably lost the tie. I hope he'll get the same love as ginting from indonesian fans after this
He said 'dia cuman bacot-bacot doang' which means 'he's all talk and nothing more'. Even the coach was taken aback by that comment and didnt like it. It was unnecessary and disrespectful towards your opponent. You wont see Ginting talking like that[/QUOTE] Is it offensive?. I even thought of derogatory words which you did not wanna mention it. But this is nothing man.
Hendra Setiawan and Mohammad Ahsan can finally retire! Hendra Setiawan has won every major title there's to compete for, except for the Sudirman Cup; what a legend!
