Justin plays third singles in M'sia vs Denmark clash


Malaysia versus Denmark line-up

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia have named Justin Hoh as the third singles in the tie against Denmark in the final Group D fixture in the Thomas Cup Finals.

The 20-year-old has once again been chosen ahead of the professional shuttler Cheam June Wei and the former will face Rasmus Gemke.

Justin also played against Hong Kong and did well to ensure Malaysia wrapped up the tie with a 5-0 scoreline.

It's the usual suspects in the other events.

Professional Lee Zii Jia will face world No. 1 Viktor Axelsen of Denmark in the first singles and Leong Jun Hao will clash against world No. 4 Anders Antonsen in the second singles.

In the doubles, former world champions Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik will be out to live up to the expectations when they take on Kim Astrup-Anders Skaarup Rasmussen while Goh Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin Rumsani meet Rasmus Kjaer-Frederik Sogaard.

On paper, Denmark are the favourites to win but can the underdogs Malaysia serve a surprise?

The match will start at 5pm on Tuesday (April 30).

Both teams will advance to the quarter-finals but the group winners will be seeded in the top eight knockout stage.
