Congratulate to Indonesia women's Uber Cup team who bring Indonesia to get its honor. Although these matches still not giving a guarantee for Indonesia to win Uber Cup, it gives hope and spirit for another Indonesia team. Our lost match between Maria Kristin and Eriko Hiroshe (21-19, 20-22, 20-22)finally paid by Vita Marissa and Lilyana in women's double pair match with Japanese duo Satoko Suetsuna and Miyuki Maeda (9-21, 21-19, 21-14. Then Adriyanti Firdasari defeat Yu Hirayama (21-11, 20-22, 21-13) and Jo Novita and Greysia Polii beat Reiko Shiota and Tomomi Natsuda (21-14, 21-18). The last touch was given by Pia Zebadiah who beat Kaori Mori 21-19, 21-17.
It proves that Indonesia still have something that can be proud to another country. I wish Indonesia will be the winner of Uber Cup.
