Badminton News: Malaysia ended their Uber Cup championship in Aarhus, Denmark with a disappointing record after a shock 1-4 loss to Canada on Monday (October 10th).
Malaysia have already been knocked out of the group stage after already losing to China (0-5) and Denmark (1-4), but the young team led by SEA Games gold medalist S. Kisona are expected come out with your head held high because there is a game that is “can be won” on paper against Canada.
Canada is deprived of world number 11 Michelle Li, who withdrew from her first game against China’s He Bingjiao after fears it could worsen her condition of Achilles on both legs.
However, Kisona did not take advantage of Michelle’s absence in the opening singles as she lost again, this time to world number 183 Talia Ng 9-21 14-21.
World number 53 Kisona also lost 11-21, 7-21 to Denmark’s Mia Blichfeldt, who saw her rest against China.
Canada then doubled their lead with world number 20 pair Kristen Tsai / Rachel Honderich parrying a passionate challenge from Teoh Mei Xing / Yap Ling to win 13-21, 21-10 and 21-14.
Malaysia relied on Eoon Qi Xuan to restart the tag team match, but World 123rd also lost to World 185th Rachel Chan by 12-21 and 13-21.
The result was certainly disappointing especially after Qi Xuan had just beaten world number 23, Danish Line Christophersen for the biggest victory of her career.
The early combination of Mr. Thinaah and Go Pei Kee led to a 21-12, 21-13 victory over Catherine Choi-Crystal Lai, but came a bit too late.
In the last game, world number 778 player K. Letshanaa did his best to get a consolation point, but it was not enough for him to defeat world number 269 player Zhang Wen Yu. He lost 17- 21, 21-16 and 12-21.
