Well done to Viktor for winning the Mens singles title by beating Momota. Viktor was struggling but still managed to pull through. Momota was over confident in this match just like the one when he beat SYQ in Sudirman cup. Momota have finish off the game earlier. Now he must win in 2 games.
Also Yamaguchi did well to win Womens Singles. She really did an awesome marathon match vs Korea ASY.
Well done to Indonesia for winning their 14th Thomas cup title. And China ladies for winning the Uber cup.
The biggest controversy for this tournament is Shi Yu Qi retired from the semifinal match at match point itself which is very unprofessional and sheer stupidity (against Momota). Hope he is not involved with any betting syndicate taking commissions, which can cost his career. I wonder BWF and CCP is going to investigate further.
Everyone was expecting Denmark to enter final but was upset by Indonesians. JC did well to beat Antonsen. The Japanese ladies was riddled with injuries for Okuhara and some doubles players.
If China brings along their Olympic medal players, they could have won it. I guess the management are reeling. Japan also did not do well because of weaker doubles department. Indonesia did well to win it with a decisive 3-0 margin.
Congratulations to China team for winning the Sudirman cup 2021. Japan has never won it till today. Well done to SYQ attacking display even though he was extremely tired. Momota was tired as well. Put on weights and did a few careless mistakes and also not able to defend well for this game.
A surprise by Akane beating Olympic champion Chen YuFei.
Well done to the winners of the 2020 Olympic finalist. It is amazing that there is no home japan winners and also there is no world number 1 ranked player to win this.
So, better not to get ranked number 1 in 2024. This grouping system sure mess up the top players.
Well done to Lee Zii Jia for winning the mens singles title. He also beat Kento Momota in Quarter Finals. Solid performance this week. Mental needs to be strong and focused. Will he be the first to win Olympic Gold or World Championship for Malaysia?
Also well done to the japanese contigent for winning 4 categories.
Well done to Dechapol Puavaranukroh, Sapsiree Taerattanachai, Carolina Marin, Viktor Axelsen and Lee Yang, Wang Chi Lin, for winning back to back tournaments. Yonex Thailand Open and Toyota Thailand Open 2021. Consistency.
