THOMAS CUP UPDATE: CAI YUN-HAIFENG WIN CHINA’S SECOND POINT IN THREE-SET THRILLER

KUALA LUMPUR (16 May 2010) - Cai Yun-Fu Haifeng grabbed the second point for China in a three-set thrilling win over Indonesia’s Markis Kido-Hendra Setiawan which lasted over an hour.
Cai Yun-Haifeng, all pumped up from Lin Dan’s fabulous win in the first singles, took to the court strongly with a 5-0 lead before Markis-Hendra fought point for point in the closing stages of the first set.
But the Chinese pair were not to be denied as they won the first set 25-23 in 23 minutes as Markis and Hendra had little choice but to take the second set.
And win they did as even though Cai Yun-Haifeng came up to draw 4-4 at one point, Markis-Hendra never looked back to win 21-16 in 17 minutes.
But the third set was all China when they took the first point and never allowed the Indonesians the chance of a comeback to win the third set 21-12 in 18 minutes for China’s second point in the final.
The third single will see Chen Jin playing Simon Santoso next.
