Ok.. I see Jonatan Christie on court. I am not sure he can win the match vs. Hsu Jen Hao.
Japan coming back strongly.... Kudos
But can young Momoto outclass experienced Lee hyun Il
Any replay for the matches, esp. KOR-JAP? Something on youtube?
JPN delayed home team victory but Takuma Ueda couldn't repeat his winning style to overcome KOR secret weapon Lee Hyun Il. Game 1, Ueda controlled the match perfectly to seal 21-14. The calm and fully supported by the home crowd Lee HI woke up, took game 2, 21-18. The deciding game for both teams showed lop-sided match as the more determined Hyun Il played his forte to outclass error-prone and under pressured Ueda, 21-9.
TPE v INA, 3-1. INA team only stole 1 point through Ahsan/Setiawan, the disastrous outing started from Tommy Sugiarto surprising defeat then followed by Pratama/Saputro. No medals from badminton team event here for INA.
Both CHN and MAS sailed smoothly to last four, 3-0 against HKG and NEP respectively. Wei Nan and HKG MD1 Lee CH/Tam CM delivered resistence to Chen L and Liu/Qiu.
