The Thomas Cup, held every two years, is the most prestigious team competition. It is played in the order of singles – doubles – singles – doubles – singles, and the team that wins 3 out of 5 games first moves on to the next round.
Korea, which had stayed in the quarterfinals in all three Thomas Cups, failed to advance to the semifinals again as it was held back by Indonesia.
Korea lost the starting point when Jeon Hyeok-jin (Yonex), who played in the first singles match, lost to Anthony Sinisuka Jinting 1-2 (21-14 16-21 16-21).
In the second match of doubles, Seo Seung-jae and Kang Min-hyuk (Samsung Life Insurance) defeated Muhammad Sohibul Fikri and Vargas Maulana 2-0 (21-15 21-12), but were unable to maintain momentum.
Jo Joon-yeop (Seongnam City Hall), who appeared in the 3rd singles match, lost to Jonathan Christie 1-2 (21-17 17-21 10-21), and in the 4th doubles match, Kim Won-ho (Samsung Life Insurance) and Ki Dong-ju (Incheon International Airport) ) group was defeated by the Fajar Alpian-Daniel Martin group 0-2 (12-21 13-21).
After the game, Seo Seung-jae said, “I played with a sense of responsibility in this tournament. “I think we played a tight game because we couldn’t take points where we could have,” he said. “It wasn’t a satisfactory performance, but I think we still showed a good game.” “I will improve well and prepare for the next competition,” he said.
The women’s national team, participating in the ’30th Women’s World Team Championship’ (Uber Cup) at the same location, will play the semifinals against Indonesia at 9:30 am on the 4th.
