June 15 - China claimed its third win in a row in the 2007 Sudirman Cup,
beating Malaysia 4-1 to top Group A at the world team badminton
championships on Thursday.
Holders China, who already advanced into semifinals on the strength of
5-0 thrashings of Thailand and England, had been expected to present
another whitewash in their final Group A match against Malaysia.
It seemed very likely before 2006 Asian champion Lee Chong Wei of
Malaysia surprised world number one Lin Dan 21-17, 21-17 in the final
game.
While Chinese shuttlers clinched the first four points all in straight
sets, The eye-catching men's singles tie was a real consolation for
Malaysians, who finished their Sudirman Cup tour with only one win out of
the three ties.
Malaysia only had slim chance for a semi spot after two round-robin
rounds and appeared giving up the China clash in advance.
Their head coach Yap Kim Hock did not even trouble to see the play of
order, where men's singles were put in the final game instead of the
normal second, until minutes ahead of kickoff.
The five-time champion China has swept every match at the Sudirman Cup
since losing to South Korea in the 2003 final in the Netherlands.
England, who edged Malaysia 3-2 earlier in the week, have an opportunity
to make the semis for the first time since the biennial event was
inaugurated in 1989, if they can beat Thailand later on Thursday.
Indonesia and South Korea booked their semi-final slots on Wednesday
after ending as winners and runners-up of Group B.
