Nozomi Okuhara’s
magnificent fightback against Sung Ji Hyun propelled Japan to
their historic first appearance in a Sudirman Cup final.
Okuhara’s typically
combative Women’s Singles victory over Sung proved to be the pivotal
moment for Japan in yesterday's Vivo BWF Sudirman Cup semi-finals,
helping them stay in the contest and setting the stage for the Women’s
Doubles and Mixed Doubles pairs to ensure Japan made their third major
team event final after the Thomas Cup and Uber Cup last year.
The evening finished with an upset, with
the scratch combination of Kenta Kazuno/Ayane Kurihara powering past Ko
Sung Hyun/Kim Ha Na to give Japan an opportunity to win a maiden
Sudirman Cup.

Under-strength Denmark were within a whisker of upsetting title
favourites Japan but faltered at the very end in the quarter-finals of
the Vivo BWF Sudirman Cup
Denmark proved a feisty opponent to Japan despite not having their best doubles players.
The Danes took it to the fifth match
with the upset of the day. After Kento Momota and Nozomi Okuhara
clinched the singles to give Japan a 2-1 lead, the scratch Men’s Doubles
pair of Mads Pieler Kolding/Kim Astrup blew a hole in Japan’s campaign
with their straight games defeat of world No.6 pair Hiroyuki Endo / Kenichi Hayakawa.
The scratch Women’s Doubles pair of Line Kjaersfeldt and Sara Thygesen
nearly took the tie away from Japan in the final match. Playing
fearlessly against world No.1 pair Misaki Matsutomo/Ayaka Takahashi , the Danes were 19-18 ahead in the third until the Japanese found a couple of last-gasp winners: 19-21 21-7 21-19.
