At two o'clock in the afternoon on May 15, 2022, the badminton Thomas Cup final, the biggest dark horse of this competition, India, met the recognized badminton king Indonesia (right photo), fans want to see who will be stronger in the end?
The first game was a singles match, with Indonesia's Quintin (pictured in the center) against Indian youngster Lakshya (left), apparently more experienced, and his attack was simply unstoppable, and he quickly won the first set 21-8. Lakshya picked up form in the second set to pull back the set 21-17. The competition in the third set was more intense, Kinting still attacked strongly, but due to the decline in physical strength, the power was not as good as the first set, Lakshya defended very tenaciously, the speed and rhythm were also very good, coupled with the young physical fitness, gradually took the lead, and finally won the decider 21-16.
The second was doubles, both pairs of combinations were fixed combinations with tacit understanding, and they also performed well in the previous matches. The first set began, the Indonesian combination was experienced and technically delicate, and the Indian combination bounced high and powerful, although the score was behind, but it has been struggling to catch up, and finally lost the first set 18-21. In the second set, the Indian team wanted to play well, but they did not want to be fast enough to make more mistakes, but fortunately they did not give up when they fell behind 17-20, and finally won a set back 23-21. After the start of the decider, both sides fought wits and courage to let the other side make mistakes first, and the score was very close, but as the Indonesian combination's physical fitness declined, the Indian combination's offensive power increased greatly, and finally won the round 21-19, so the situation was very unfavorable to the Indonesian team.
The third game was a singles, the Indonesian team played the world's No. 8 star Jonathan, the Indian team played the veteran Srikante, originally thought that Jonatan could easily win back a game for the Indonesian team, but did not expect that he had been behind in the first set, more mistakes, but Srikante was calm and calm, winning a set 21-15. The second set began and Jonathan recovered, but Slicante's experienced defense was patient and won another set 23-21, so that India won three games in a row and won the final, which was incredible!
Badminton is Indonesia's national ball, there have been many top badminton masters, but the success of the Indian team is not accidental, but also the result of their long-term efforts, sincerely hope that the Chinese team will not be discouraged, I believe that after two years will be able to win back the Thomas Cup!
