In group stage match of Uber Cup, CAN won over USA with narrow score 3-2 maybe US team has learnt a lot how to beat Canada in final day and they did it. Welcome to Jakarta for both teams!
Hmm.. ..i think it's more so that team USA decided to play the card right by having Eva Lee just play in WD Doubles, while saving her for the Finals in WS1; Jamie Subandhi also wasn't featured in the group match play, the day earlier, thus the U.S. squad had an extra fresh body. While on the other hand, Canada featured and used exactly the same players for both days. Fatigue also could fall in??.. http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/teammatch.aspx?id=19056&match=30 http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/teammatch.aspx?id=19056&match=39
On the basis of the Women's line-ups, I'd have been very surprised if Canada had won twice in a row. Even when Canada beat USA in the group stage, the matches were quite close; you could say it could gone either way then. There is a good crop of youngsters coming through the ranks in the women's game in Canada so we'll see in a few years if they'll be better. Congrats to the US and best of luck in the UC finals. As for the men's, Canada pretty much fielded its strongest team, with an exception or two. In any case our men's singles was significantly stronger than what the US could offer. We didn't need to expose our doubles. Ah well, at least one of two made it to Jakarta.
