Malaysia is in danger of missing the quarter-finals after faltering yet again to Denmark, this time going down 3-2 to the Valkyries in their opening Group C match at the 2022 Uber Cup Finals in Bangkok today.
The Valkyries drew the first blood when their top singles shuttler, Mia Blichfeldt took 35 minutes to overcome Malaysian singles ace S Kisona 21-14, 21-15 at the Impact Arena.
The first game saw both shuttlers fighting neck-and-neck until Blichfeldt led 11-10. From there on, the Dane took control to seal the first game before going on to power home in the second game and secure the first point for her country.
Malaysia, though, was not perturbed as the national number one doubles pair Pearly Tan-M Thinaah (above) secured a slim victory over Maiken Fruergaard-Sara Thygesen to level the tie at 1-1.
After trailing 8-12 in the first game, the world number 11 Malaysians kept their composure to chase down the Danish duo for a 21-19 win before clinching the second game with a similar 21-19 scoreline.
