It is such a memorable and touching moment when Korea Women doubles Lee Kyung Won & Ha Jin Eun took the match point from Du Jing & Yu Yang, after Korea’s victory in the first & second match and lost in the third match. Korea was always not anticipated to win the competition. When Bae Seung Hee won the 1st match for Korea over Wang Yi Han, everyone was in a shock. In fact, it was really unexpected for the ranking-16 to win the ranking-1. Korea, winning the first match, was much more confident than before and this promised the winning of 2nd match by Lee Hyo Jin & Kim Min Jin against the 1st ranking double players from China.
By winning first 2 matches, Korea put everyone in an unknown state of whether China will remain holding the Uber cup. The 3rd match started with Wang Xin & Ji Sung Hyun, where Wang Xin took the first point for Korea. Next, the Olympic winner Du Jing & Yu Yang were expected to perform well, but with their every powerful attack successfully and beautifully defended by Korea double players Lee Kyung Won and Ha Jin Eun, Korea took down the match and appeared as the Uber winner in 2010. They recorded a miracle at Bukit Jalil and won the Uber cup for the very first time in Korea history!
The matches between Korea and China were very interesting and they were really good matches. Both teams tried their very best and fight until the end. I couldn’t get my eyes over the tv yesterday. Korea’s victory is a good thing to China for them to know that they are not always the best and teaches them not to look down on others. Victory is not guaranteed, and pride is always not a good thing when it have become over.
On the other hand, Korea didn’t expect much on their players and they were only trying their very best and besides learning from each other. I can see the defence was very strong in Korea team. Although their attacks were not as strong as China, and even though China never stop to throw attacks on them, they were able to take it easy.
With both teams performing from the bottom of heart, it was really an interesting match between the two countries, and it didn’t really matter about Uber Cup will be going to which country. It is not important because they both show us the great determination and the spirit of winning, never thinking to give up any chance. And this is how we are inspired by those great players. If you watched the matches, you might agree with me.
Again, congratulations to Korea.
