Badminton: China Beats Indonesia In Both Finals, Regains Thomas And Uber Cup Titles
Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti: China's men's team reclaimed badminton's Thomas Cup after a six-year wait after beating Indonesia 3-1, while the women's team also regained the Uber Cup for the first time since 2020 after whitewashing Indonesia 3-0 here on Sunday. This was the first time since 2012 that the same two countries played each other in both men's and women's finals.
In the Thomas Cup, World No.2 Shi Yuqi provided a perfect start for China, taking the first set 21-17 and dominating the second 21-6 against Indonesia's Anthony Sinisuka Ginting.
Liang Weikeng and Wang Chang made it 2-0 by beating Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Rian Ardianto 21-18, 17-21, 21-17 in the 64-minute doubles clash, but Jonatan Christie prevented Indonesia from being whitewashed, beating Li Shifeng 21-16, 15-21, 21-17, reports Xinhua. Li took five points in a row from 18-11 down but failed to cut the deficit in the decider against the newly crowned Asian champion.
