And wow, MD#1 certainly delivered after a lacklustre performance against the Danes yesterday. Never seen Tan Boon Heong so motivated for the past few years. Very pleased with their progress to the final, but we have to be careful here, as we can see that MS#1 is no longer a sure point as Tago is shown to be very dangerous. Assuming that the line-up will be kept the same as it has been the victory formula, The JPN pairs are no easy meat and HTH/TBH and GVS/TWK have to fancy their chances. Momota Kento might be too difficult for Chong Wei Feng to handle, and I have completely zero faith in Liew Daren now.
The key matches are Lee Chong Wei vs Tago Kenichi, Hoon Thien How/Tan Boon Heong vs Endo/Hayakawa and Goh V Shem/Tan Wee Kiong vs Keigo/Takeshi. Malaysia has a small chance to win the Thomas Cup and they should really take their chances against Japan even though they might start as the underdogs.
