  Today we are going to talk about the THOMAS CUP 2014, that surprisingly china was out and my country MALAYSIA was in the final against JAPAN.

 The first match was LEE CHONG WEI    vs   Kenichi Tago ..World No. 1 Lee Chong Wei had given Malaysia a kick start, beating Kenichi Tago 21-12, 21-16 Which means MALAYSIA 1-0 JAPAN
              

he second match was TAN and HOO (NEW PAIR !) VS Kenichi Hayakawa and Hiroyuki Endo
but Malaysia lose in the score of 12-21, 21-17, 21-19 still it was a close match

so...MALAYSIA 1-1 JAPAN
         

The third match was CHONG WEI FENG VS Kento Momota 

It was a intense game because Kento, the world junior champion in 2012, ended Wei Feng’s five-match unbeaten streak with a 21-15, 21-17 win in 39 minutes.

Special Note : The next day after THOMAS cup its CHONG WEI FENG'S birthday !

“I could not play at my normal pace and I started to feel the pressure more. I wanted so much to give Malaysia a point and I got more frustrated when I could not break him down,” said Wei Feng.

which means now its..
MALAYSIA 1-2 JAPAN
