Chinese Taipei hit by Korea Republic comeback early on

It’s the morning of the semi-finals here in Tokyo and it seems like both Team Korea Republic and Team Chinese Taipei have come fully ready with that memo in hand. Lee Sangsu and Jeoung Youngsik beat Chen Chien-An and Liao Cheng-Ting 3-2 (4-11, 11-13, 11-7, 11-7, 11-9) in an opening battle where neither duo looked like losing.

Chen and Liao were in sync off-the-bat, meaning Sangsu and Youngsik initially could not guide the match-up where they would have liked. Instead, they came back from two games down to win three of their own, setting the cat amongst the pigeons straightaway. If this is what the start was, the fans will be licking their lips at this potential best of five thriller.
