Jens Eriksen/Martin Lundgaard Hansen won the match in the narrowest of margin 17-21, 22-20, 23-21. DEN 3 JPN 1.
So, the QF lineup is likely to be: INA vs ENG* CHN vs THA* KOR* vs DEN MAS vs JPN* Playoffs: ENG vs NGR THA vs NZL JPN vs GER KOR vs CAN
yeah, the JPN team prove that they might be able to pull off an upset if anyone takes them too lightly.
Their doubles are really turning to be a force of their own these days under Park Joo Bong. Even INA pairs will find it difficult to beat Sakamoto/Ikeda and Ohtsuka/Masuda, like the DEN veteran pairs experienced today in 2 titanic battles.
yeah, you can always depend on the legend to inspire a new generation of doubles stars. i suspect MAS will have a tough time in the QF.
And what better way than to forfeit . Match over 21-13 + give up ... edit: Tago is writen in bold letters so Jorgensen gave up then(?)...
Very smart indeed I wish I could make my opponents give up whenever I feel like it . (read it more carefully)
