yes, We have the winner:

China as Uber cup 2021
Indonesia as Thomas cup 2021

Congratulations to both of the winners, they deserve it.
And I am also so happy with what have all players of the team, the coach, and also the management of Thomas Indonesia.
Especially the players, they really played very well.
Although I was so sad seeing that the Indonesian flag cannot be raised during the victory ceremony, but its pride in them is very satisfying. Congratulations once again, the long wait is finally paid off.

Yes, the struggle will be started again from the beginning in other championships.

yes, We have the winner:
China as Uber cup 2021
Indonesia as Thomas cup 2021

Have been a long time (19 years ago), now the 2020 Thomas cup just landed in Indonesia. This is the 14th Thomas and was created as a country that has the biggest collected cup.

Very proud to see Indonesia can win Thomas cup again. It is a very long time to wait for this special moment, now winning Thomas cup comes true. I especially give a great appreciation for all Indonesian man single players (Ginting, Jojo, Shesar), they look stronger and develop well. Now, Indonesian clearly have strong man single players again. They prove it by winning some crucial matches in this tournament.

Once again, Thomas Cup is for Indonesian. Too bad, Uber is not ours too so we can repeat what Susi and Alan did in the past. But I am sure Indonesian Team will have many chances to get both Thomas and Uber Cup in the future but the Federation needs to train their player harder and the mental for each player.

But unfortunately, The Indonesian flag does not fly on the podium. Here is the article:

Here are the favorite who have best bwf rank:

Men's Singles





Women's Singles





Men's Doubles





Women's Doubles





Mix Doubles



So far the favorite champions are still on top 1 and 2 ranks, but it's not a possible players who have low rank have the chance also as a dark horse like a Thailand young player Kunlavut VITIDSARN.

yes, We have the winner:

China as Uber cup 2021
Indonesia as Thomas cup 2021

Congratulations to China and Indonesia for winning Thomas and Uber 2021.
I enjoyed the last game in the Thomas Cup and this is a very good thing for Indonesia because they managed to bring a trophy after the last time they won 19 years ago.
and this is a very remarkable achievement.
for uber, i don't think there is any need to doubt the strength of china because they are really great and from the start of the competition they have very high confidence because they are one of the countries that have quite good achievements and in fact they are one of the countries with the most uber trophies.

I didn't expect that this year would be for Indonesia and I must say that they deserve it. We've witnessed how they worked for it though it took them a long time to win and bring home the title. It was expected for China and they have an advantage since they have a strong team and they're too consistent.

It is quite hard for uber Indonesia, moreover if we know the players of users in the world. Japanese and China have a very great uber team, their single and double women players are very strong, and unfortunately, Indonesia women players still cannot balance it or become the tough opponent for those two countries (mostly, only GreyAp that is considerable).
But let's wait and see maybe for the next generation.

New games begin today: Denmark Open 2021

Very glad to know that many Indonesian players won the matches (most of them won), most of them can continue to the next round.

many people also thought that China will always dominate the Uber and Thomas Cup as usual. Their players are very tough.
Their players are very strong and consistent. And at the time of the final, Chinese mainstay players cannot play, this certainly has a magnificent impact too.
And besides that, indeed Thomas Indonesia players are having exceptional enthusiasm and games to bring the Thomas Cup after a long wait.
They all have worked very well and satisfying.

Look bet for Axelsen  (1.01), he will be won.

[babygun]

No real surprises in sessions 1 and 2 for the moment; all favorites won their matches. I mainly follow the men singles and biggest favorite to win the title is, in my eyes, Axelsen. He won olympic gold and hasn't lost a match since then. He won all his 5 matches in the Thomas cup quite easily.

Men's singles has very strong competition, there are several other top players besides Axelsen who also participated in the Denmark Open tournament this time such as Chou tien chen, Kento Momota and also what should not be forgotten is anthony sinisuka Ginting who very often makes surprises.
I think even though playing at home it will be very difficult for Axelsen to win this championship, if no one is able to overcome Momota and Axelsen they will meet in the final and in terms of H2H between the two Momota is far superior to Axelsen.

I feel like I'm missing the Indonesian women's singles for the Denmark Open this time, but the others are also exciting, I can't miss it, I hope that in the future Women's Singles will be on the list in the tournament.

don't you see there are 2 women's singles from Indonesia?
Georgia Mariska and Ruselli Hartawan are Indonesian women's singles participating in the Denmark Open tournament.
but unfortunately, Ruselli Hartawan has already lost and it is very likely that Georgia Mariska will also follow him because in the next round he will face the seeded Akane Yamaguchi from Japan.

[blue Snow]

it's far from expectations. however, I hope he fixes things.

Indonesian women singles aren't strong enough, we don't really need to expect too much. Just Susi Susanti era Indonesia has the best player women singles atm, after that, we don't have better.

Look like we are too close to next round 2. as predicted before several favorite players going to the next round without much problem.

I just look the bet at sportbet.io



The Favorite player's odds, Momota (1.03) has a big chance to win, of course with Straight Set also.

surprising things in the men's doubles Marcus Fernaldi GIDEON and his duet team Kevin Sanjaya SUKAMULJO lost and this was beyond what I expected.

already in the previous few matches they had less good results. since losing in the Olympics they have not been able to return to their best performance.
I think this pair will be replaced soon, in the cup final thomas kevin sanjaya was paired with a young player from indonesia but unfortunately we can't see their match because thomas indonesia team is already leading 3-0.
maybe we'll see in the next tournament.

They might be so tired after the Thomas Cup so they did not play all out with all their power and skills.
Other reason is as what you said, they are yet to find their best form after long break during the pandemic.
But I believe they will remain as a pair in the next tournaments till the BWF World Championship next December.

[Rengga Jati]

-snip-

There are about 6 representatives of Indonesian Players that still continue to the next round.
Congratulations.
In the quarter-final, Jojo will face his opponent, Momota. This will be a very interesting match. And arguably if this match is quite difficult for Jojo. We know that Momota removes top players with a very neat and good game style. He is a great player.
But I believe, Jojo is also currently a very good performer, especially with his enthusiasm who just won Thomas Cup.

[Rengga Jati]

I just look the bet at sportbet.io

Indonesia now doesn't have its representative who goes to the final round.
Praven / Melati lost to the Thai pair.
And Tommy Sugiarto was also stopped by Kento Momota from Japan.

For the final itself, I am more confident that Momota will play better and win than men's singles from Denmark, Viktor Axelsen.
But of course, this is not easy, Axelsen is a great player and moreover, we also know how the supporters of the Danish players in the country are.

[blue Snow]

Denmark Open 2021 has finished, we have the winners;

Men's singles: Viktor Axelsen (Denmark)
Women's singles: Akane Yamaguchi (Japan)
Men's doubles:   Takuro Hoki and Yugo Kobayashi (Japan)
Women's doubles: Huang Dongping and Zheng Yu (China)
Mixed doubles:   Yuta Watanabe and Arisa Higashino (Japan)

Congratulations fro all winners.

Seems no Indonesian players there, we must get hard work to more practice. that busy schedule also makes several players have an injury, that must thinking for future.

[Strongkored]

Jonathan Christie suffered injury so he decided to withdraw, Tommy Sugiarto lost in the semifinals, Unfortunately that not one Indonesian player made it to the final.
Just watching the mixed doubles match and the first set of men's singles, Viktor was the favorite to win and in the end, the statistics did not matter at all in this match.
Slowly China's dominance begins to decline, in this tournament there were 4 Japan representatives in the final and 3 became champions.

[Rengga Jati]

Men's singles: Viktor Axelsen (Denmark)

Mixed doubles:   Yuta Watanabe and Arisa Higashino (Japan)

Congratulations to all winners.
Unfortunately, my favorite men's single, Momota lost from Axelsen

Yeah, Jojo and Ginting got injured and they were back in Indonesia. They need more rest and also treatment. Hopefully, they will recover soon.

And now, French Open 2021 has been started and Indonesia send 18 players to join. Hopefully, there will be a champion among them.
The only Indonesian man single continues to the next round, Shesar Hiren.

Wow, in the first round, Momota vs KIDAMBI Srikanth, he is not an easy opponent. but I am sure that Momota will win and continue to the next round.
