This time with the world team championships – the Thomas and Uber Cups – on the line.
Barely seven months after Indonesia and China, respectively, triumphed at the delayed 2020 competition in Denmark, the world’s top 16 men’s and women’s teams are back to contest for the prestigious trophies.
It marks the 32nd running of the Thomas and 29th edition of the Uber Cup, which have histories dating back to 1949 and 1957 respectively.
Indonesia’s men, led by Jonatan Christie in red-hot form, and China’s women with Olympic champion Chen Yufei, will be looking to defend their titles in the face of tough opponents.
Newly-crowned Asian champions Lee Zii Jia of Malaysia and Wang Zhi Yi of China will also look to make their marks.
