In what is probably one of the biggest surprises in badminton this year - Malaysia has made the final of the Thomas Cup. This probably has been mostly due to the performance of the second singles Chong Wei Feng who has won all his matches so far in this years edition. In the last few editions, the second and third singles have not been strong enough - putting a lot of pressure on the the doubles pairs to perform.
Japan will not be pushovers in the final, as on paper except for Lee Chong Wei, they have performed better than the Malaysians in international tournaments this year. However, the idea of splitting up the Malaysian doubles pairs appears to have worked favourably for our country and together with Wei Feng's improved performance, Malaysia would probably be going into tomorrow's final with a slight edge over the Japanese.
