bid to end their 32-year wait for Thomas Cup glory ended in tatters after going down 3-1 to hosts China in the semi-finals of this year’s edition at an almost full capacity Chengdu High-Tech Zone Sports Centre today.
World number two men’s singles ace Shi Yu Qi set the tone for China’s storming success as he outplayed Malaysia’s professional men’s singles player Lee Zii Jia 21-19, 21-5 in just 35 minutes for a 1-0 lead. Aaron-Wooi Yik engaged in a neck-and-neck battle in the decider until 16-16 before stepping up a gear to put Malaysia back in contention with a 21-17 victory after a titanic 55-minute slugfest.
That set the stage for Malaysians Goh Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin Rumsani to salvage the situation in the second doubles against He Ji Ting-Ren Xiang Yu.
