Thomas & Uber Cup 2010!

Thomas and Uber Cup 2010 are ongoing now from May 9 - 16 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. All the big teams including China (favorite team), Malaysia, Indonesia, Denmark and Korea have sent all their top players to in their attempt to emerge victorious in both events. So, what is your prediction? Based on the most recent results from this year's badminton tournaments, I would say that all the top five teams especially for Thomas Cup have an equal chance of going all the way provided that they live up to their top game when it matters most. Nevertheless, my prediction is still China taking both the cups, although I am hopeful that other countries such as Malaysia (haven't won Thomas Cup since 1992) and Indonesia (last won it in 2002) would step up their game and emerge as Champions!

Badminton News: Gunalan thinks Malaysia are capable of beating China with a 3-0 scoreline

By LIM TEIK HUAT

FORMER Malaysian ace and top international badminton official Datuk Punch Gunalan feels that Malaysia need to produce a “shock and awe” performance in a Thomas Cup tie against China with All-England champion Lee Chong Wei firing the first salvo if they harbour hopes of toppling the defending champions.
Malaysia are playing in Group B, which has Nigeria and Japan. And they can only be up against China in the knockout stage and it could be in the quarter-finals if they slip up against Japan and advance as group runners-up.

Barely hours after coming down with high fever, Mew Choo surprisingly turned up on court to train with the rest of the team at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil yesterday. To her relief, the fever and flu scare turned out to be nothing much to worry about.

By RAJES PAUL

MOHD Hafiz Hashim should be smiling. He has an advantage over everyone else to win a tie for Malaysia in a deciding match of a Thomas Cup tie.
And if he fails to capitalise on it, he will only have himself to blame.
