Beating the RUS pair will yield huge pts for Mel/Grace: 5452 (average of their ranking scores over 10 tourneys) + 50068/100 (the RUS pair's ranking divided by 100). That is if I am correct with the calculation of the ranking pts for team events.
Sorry, I disagree. WSX looked a little slow and could not read Schenk. WSX rarely dictated the pace and didn't have many winners. Schenk had quite a few more winners, some which made WSX look pretty bad. Just what I observed
Despite losing today and facing the possibility of being a spectator for the rest of the Sudirman Cup, Fran Kurniawan Teng//Pia Zebadiah Bernadet already pick up 5044 pts from this Sudirman Cup. Not bad for around half an hr of play. Simon Santoso picks up 4880+205.50=5085.50 pts as he's looking to go back up to the top 10 ranking table. Adriyanti Firdasari picks up 3072+264.30=3336.30 pts.
Losing a match means there's no way he will add to the pts he already earned by today. If he can beat LCW, he will add 900++ pts.
