South Korea won three doubles events to beat Hong Kong, China 3-2 in their final group match at Sudriman Cup world team badminton championships here on Wednesday. England beat Japan 4-1 to stay away from the elimination playoff. Japan will take on Hong Kong in the do-or-die match.
As the winner of Group 1A, South Korea faces the runner-up of Group 1B in the semifinals. China and Indonesia will square off on Thursday to decide the rankings in Group 1B.
"Either China or Indonesia is a tough opponent to beat, so we need to make good preparations," said Kim Jong-Soo, coach of South Korea team.
Hong Kong's two points came from Chan Yan Kit in men's singles and Wang Chen in women's singles.
"I had a poor performance in the first set and she grabbed the chance," said Wang, who came from one set down to defeat Kim Moon-Hi 13-21, 21-15, 21-15.
World's No.12 pair Yoo Yeon-Seong/Kim Min-Jung gave South Korea the lead after beating Hui Wai-Ho/Yip Pui-Yin. Hwang Ji-Man/Han Sang-Hoon and Ha Jung-Eun/Kim Jung-Min then claimed the men's doubles and women's doubles respectively.
