KUALA LUMPUR (15 MAY 2010) – South Korea ended their Uber Cup jinx in style when they dethroned China 3-1 in the final of the 23rd edition of the World Team Championships for women at the Putra Stadium in Bukti Jalil today.
The pumped up Koreans rose to the occasion and handed the mighty Chinese a lesson in badminton to win their first ever Uber Cup after the disappointment of losing their previous five finals – all to China.
The Koreans broke down the the Great Wall in style after winning the first singles through Bae Seung Hee and the first doubles through Lee Hyo Jung-Kim Min Jung.
Wang Xin pulled a point back for China when she won the second singles but Korea made sure the cup was theirs when second doubles Lee Kyung Won-Ha Jung Eun won the third winning point.
"This is a historic day for Korean badminton. We reached the finals five times before and we were beaten in all five by China. But today it was a different story, we were not the second fiddle.
“We've had enough of losing to the Chinese. The players were determined to break the jinx and we did it in Kuala Lumpur. We will remember the Putra Stadium and the supporters for their support,” said Korea team manager Kim Jong Soo.
“We are worthy winners. China under estimated us. Tomorrow is Teachers Day and the players presented the perfect present to their teachers (coaches).”
Korea’s top singles player Bae Seung Hee put her country on the right track when she dumped World No 1 Wang Yihan in straight sets, winning 23-21, 21-11 in 49 minutes.
The Chinese camp was shell shocked with the early setback as they had expected Wang Yihan to deliver to first point to give the defending champions the psychological boost and advantage.
But the Chinese were virtually speechless and a sullen looking Li Yongbo – the Chinese chief coach – spoke of the mood in the camp as the Koreans, boosted by Seung Hee’s win, took the first doubles as well with Lee Hyo Jung-Kim Min Jung battling for 66 minutes before registering a 18-21, 21-12, 21-15 win over Ma Jin-Wang Xiaoli.
Wang Xin narrowed the deficit to 1-2 when she defeated Sung Ji Hyun in a three setter before winning 21-14, 16-21, 21-7 in 59 minutes.
Korea had played five Uber Cup finals – in 1988, 1990, 1992, 2002 and 2004 – but China denied them the title on all occassion.
For the record, China had not been beaten since 1998 with the last defeat in 1996 when they were beaten 1-4 by Indonesia in the final in Hong Kong.

WE WILL BE BACK STRONGER, SAYS YONGBO
KUALA LUMPUR (15 MAY 2010) – “We will be back stronger,” said China chief coach Li Yongbo after the defending champions surrendered the Uber Cup to South Korea - going down 1-3 in the final at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil today.
The mighty Chinese had been the undisputed Uber Cup queens since 1998.
However, the Great Wall crumbled this evening as the Koreans broke the jinx of having lost the last five Uber Cup finals to China.
Yongbo blamed inexperience as the main cause of the defeat and said: “China did not play well today although I had confidently predicted that we will retain the Cup.
“However, confidence alone which was based on our past matches in the group stage, quarter-finals and the semi-finals, cannot win title. Having confidence does not mean you win.”
In the same breath, Yongbo added that most of the teams do not want China to keep on winning.
"It becomes rather boring. So it is good to let Korea win the Cup to give badminton some variety," he quipped.
Yongbo said China will now prepare for other upcoming tournaments like the World Championships and the Asian Games.
“But we will be back for the Uber Cup. We want to take the Cup back in two years time. The young players who froze today will be much stronger and more experienced to face such a crowd,” added Yongbo.
“Anyway, I wish to congratulate the Koreans for their splendid win. They deserve to lift the Cup. They were the better team.”

UBER CUP UPDATE: SOUTH KOREA WIN FIRST EVER UBER CUP
KUALA LUMPUR (15 May 2010) - South Korea won their first ever Uber Cup when they beat defending champions China 3-1 in the final that was played this evening at the Putra Stadium in Kuala Lumpur.
The Chinese, who have won the Uber Cup for the last five editions, did not have the best of start when world No. 1 Wang Yihan fell to Bae Seung Hee in the first singles.
The South Koreans then capitalised on that win to pick up their second point through Lee Hyo Jung-Kim Min Jung in the first doubles.
And while China managed to give themselves a fighting chance when they grabbed their first point through Wang Xin in the second singles, the second doubles would prove to be pivotal.
Despite losing the first set 19-21, the pair of Lee Kyung Won-Ha Jung Eun kept their nerves intact to take the second set 21-14 to set up the decider in the rubber set.
And it was close with against the Chinese pair of Du Jing-Yu Yang when they played catch-up at the start before the score went from point to point up until 13-13.
After that, it was all South Korea as they went on to win the third set 20-18 to land their first ever Uber Cup crown.

Firdasari Kalah, Indonesia Terjegal
JAKARTA, Kompas.com - Tim putri Indonesia gagal membuat kejutan di semifinal Piala Uber 2010 yang berlangsung di Stadium Putra, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Kamis (13/5/10). Melawan China yang menjadi favorit juara, pasukan Merah Putih menyerah 0-3.
Kepastian Indonesia terjegal itu terjadi setelah tunggal kedua Adriyanti Firdasari menyerah 17-21, -21 dari pemain kidal China nomor dua dunia, Wang Xin. Pasalnya, pada dua partai pertama Indonesia juga kalah, ketika Maria Febe Kusumastuti kalah 7-21, 12-21 dari pemain nomor satu dunia Wang Yihan, dilanjutkan dengan kegagalan ganda pertama Greysia Polii/Meiliana Jauhari, yang menyerah 17-21, 13-21 dari pasangan nomor satu dunia Ma Jin/Wang Xiaoli.
Dengan demikian, China maju ke final untuk bertemu dengan Korea Selatan, yang sudah lebih dulu meraih tiket ke partai puncak usai mengalahkan Jepang 3-1. China tampaknya jadi favorit, dan berpeluang besar merengkuh gelar turnamen beregu dua tahunan ini untuk ketujuh kali secara berturut-turut--sejak 1984 China selalu juara, dan hanya dua kali terjegal pada tahun 1994 dan 1996.

MEW CHOO APOLOGISES FOR HER DEFEAT
KUALA LUMPUR (12 MAY 2010) – The expectations were high on Wong Mew Choo to deliver the morale boosting first point but the country’s top woman shuttler was left apologising for her poor show in her 9-21, 16-21 defeat to Indonesia’s No 2 Adriyanti Firdasari in her the first singles in the Uber Cup quarter-final.
“I am sorry, really sorry that I was a big let down,” said Mew Choo, who was expected to win Malaysia’s first point against the Indonesians.
After all the Ipoh lass had beaten Adriyanti in the team final at the Laos SEA Games in December enroute to Malaysia’s 3-1 win to win the gold medal.
“It was a below par performance from me. I was rather tensed. Nothing went right for me. Even when I fought back in the second set it was all in vain as my opponent controlled the match throughout.
“I had beaten her in the Laos SEA Games. But all that did not count today. Adriyanti is an attacking player and I was not able to counter her aggressive play.
At the end of the press conference, Mew Choo was overcome with emotions and simply threw herself to the ground before Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) sports psychologist Frederick Tan came to consoled her.
Adriyanti was pleased that she managed to beat Mew Choo in front of the fanatical home fans although the big Indonesian turnout also made their presence felt at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil.
“I had lost to Mew Choo several times before. It is nice feeling to beat her in front of her home fans. Mew Choo was able to read my game in the second set but I was able to check that. It is an important point for us in our quest to reach the semifinal,” said Adriyanti.

China Paling Favorit
KUALA LUMPUR - Turnamen bulu tangkis Thomas & Uber Cup 2010 baru dilangsungkan hari ini. Tapi, sebagian besar pecinta tepok bulu di Malaysia sudah menjagokan China akan keluar sebagai pemenangnya.
Berdasarkan voting yang disurvei Harian Seputar Indonesia selama di Malaysia, China diunggulkan di tempat pertama setelah mengantongi 98 suara dari 161 orang yang dimintai pendapatnya tentang siapa berpeluang menjadi juara tahun ini. China berhak menempati tangga teratas setelah meraih presentase sebesar 60.87 persen.
Salah satu voter asal Malaysia Mohd Husain mengatakan, China layak diunggulkan melihat amunisi yang mereka bawa ke negaranya. Dia menilai China lebih mumpuni ketimbang Malaysia yang bertindak sebagai tuan rumah. “Saya bukan ingin merendahkan tim sendiri. Kenyataannya demikian jika China memiliki kekuatan lebih bagus ketimbang tim lainnya, tapi saya berharap Malaysia akan mampu membuat kejutan,” ujarnya.
Di posisi kedua ditempati Indonesia dengan jumlah 24 suara (14.91%) atau unggul satu suara dari Malaysia yang menempati unggulan ketiga dengan presentase 14.29 persen. Disusul Denmark di tempat keempat dengan 13 suara (8.07%) dan Korea Selatan (Korsel) dengan 3 suara (1.86%).
Hasil voting itu sejatinya sejalan dengan Federasi Bulu Tangkis Dunia (BWF) yang menempatkan China sebagai unggulan pertama di Piala Thomas tahun ini. Disusul Indonesia, Malaysia, Denmark, dan Korsel sebagai 'Kuda Hitam.'
Meski demikian, segala kemungkinan dapat saja terjadi di lapangan. Indonesia pun diharapkan akan mampu menepis anggapan jika Taufik Hidayat dkk sebenarnya berpeluang besar menjuarai turnamen tersebut. Dengan catatan mereka akan konsentrasi penuh dan jangan sekalipun menganggap remeh lawan yang akan dihadapi.
