After the match, they said that during the preparation period, the doubles team will often mix and match to fight, so they will be ready to play at any time to better play each other's strengths.
In the men's team competition, Indonesian world champion Alfran/Arianto lost to the Thai combination 1-2, but fortunately, his teammates played steadily, and finally defeated Thailand with a big score of 4-1 and qualified ahead of schedule.
