On May 3, the last two quarter-finals of the Thomas Cup will be played, and the line-ups for the two games have been released. The key to Indonesia vs South Korea is doubles, and the key to Denmark vs Chinese Taipei is also doubles. Both matches will be played at 17:00 CST.
- Indonesia vs South Korea
In the match between Indonesia and South Korea, Indonesia's 3 men's singles are stronger than South Korea's, and South Korea's 2 men's doubles are stronger than Indonesia's. The key to victory and defeat for both teams is doubles, and if Indonesia can fight for a doubles, then they basically seal the victory.
The first men's singles, Ginting vs Quan Yichen. Ginting has an all-round advantage, the only problem is psychological. The players of the Korean team are prone to going crazy, and if they go crazy, there is also the possibility of an upset.
In the second men's doubles, Fikri/Maulana vs Seo Seung-jae/Kang Min-hyuk. Seo Seung-jae/Kang Min-hyuk's dominant ball, whether South Korea can get points, this game is the key.
The third men's singles, Jonatan vs Zhao Jianye. Jonatan has the advantage across the board, and no matter how this game is played, it should be Indonesia's score.
In the fourth men's doubles, Qi Dongzhu/Kim Won-ho vs Alfian/Martin. Indonesia sent out a surprise formation, and it will be equally difficult to beat South Korea's temporary pairing. After four games, it's likely that the two sides will be 2-2.
The fifth men's singles, Ziko vs Lee Lun-gyu. Ziko had the upper hand in this game. If this ball is really played, whether Ziko can play normally has become the biggest attraction.
- Denmark vs Chinese Taipei
The match matches are Axelsen vs Zhou Tiancheng, Eststrup/Anders vs Li Yang/Wang Qilin, Antonsen vs Lin Junyi, Kjaer/Sogard vs Li Zhehui/Yang Boxuan, and Gemke vs Wang Ziwei.
In these 5 games, there is no absolute advantage. Axelsen's recent form is far behind last year's, and there is a possibility of an upset loss. If Li Yang/Wang Qilin can play at their peak, they will win 6 percent of the victory. In the offensive battle between Antonsen and Lin Junyi, whoever is in good shape wins, is more optimistic about Antonsen.
The second men's doubles, Chinese Taipei's advantage, if played normally, Chinese Taipei won this match. The fifth men's singles is also of equal strength, if it really hits this one, it is optimistic that Wang Ziwei will win, and there is still a probability that Chinese Taipei will win in an upset. The premise is to get points in the first three games.
