The Danish team did remarkably well considering too that WD came down to the final 2 points - it really could have gone either way. That was a thrilling match. All the Danes played with great heart and soul for the team!
I think KOR - JAP MD 70 - 30 If Lee / Yoo play like today they really should win WS 55 - 45 Tough one, but SJH played really well so far. MS 50 - 50 Im not sure depends on how SWHs form who struggled lately but played ok today WD 45 - 55 Japanese girls showed nerves and Korean new pair is / could be the best Korea had for quite same time. So maybe Korea is even favourite here. XD 60 - 40 Korean combination should be a tad better than the Japanase ones. Overall Korea should have the better chance, but it easily could turn out to become a very close battle. For CHN - INA the MD will be very interesting, should be a close one. Also MX is possible for INA, maybe a slight chance in WD, but MS and WS should go to CHN by some margin.
I /guess/ so, but I don't think ZN is lacking in poise or handling pressure situations, especially since I would put my money on FHF/ZN to win and CY/FHF to lose. But we'll see, hopefully they won't be regretting this decision by day's end.
BWF still have not put the video of the other quarter-final tie up to the website. I wonder if they are ready to broadcast today's matches. Interestingly, the first semi-final was not originally scheduled in their streaming.
Because CHN want to preserve ZN energy for the final bang.. if he plays 2 match there are greater risk to lost both matches.
Meaning CHN is prepared to a tie that requires the 5th match.... the competition atmosphere of Sudirman Cup is now uplifted to its highest all the semifinals will provide the great entertainment values
Under this order of play KOR has some good chance to sweep JPN 3-0 MD: YYS/LYD has 2-0 H2H against HH/NH so MD goes to KOR WS: SJH has 3-1 H2H against NO though she lost in the last encounter MS: SWH has 3-0 H2H against KM, if KOR leads 2-0, KM will face increased pressure, SWH will have the upper hand to finish the task. In fact KOR may have an easier SF than CHN's one. It takes a great upset for JPN to beat KOR here
