What a performance from Falcons Jacob Schueler and Jack Yu who locked in victories this afternoon during Australia’s tie against Canada at the TotalEnergies Thomas and Uber Cup Finals 2024!

Jacob secured his win against Canada’s Imran Wadia after taking out the first 21-15, he then went down in the second 16-21, but bounced back 21-16 during the third to seal the victory.

Jack Yu had a challenging contest against Canada’s Joshua Nguyen after losing the first 17-21, but then dug deep to close out the match 21-11, 21-19.

The day began with Brian Yang defeating Ricky Tang 21-16, 21-8, followed by wins to Jacob and Jack, and then a victory back to Canada in the Doubles with Victor Lai/Nyl Yakura defeating Huaidong Tang/Rayne Wang 21-16, 21-19.

With Australia and Canada locked at two-all, the tie came down to the Doubles decider between Kenneth Choo/Jack Yu against Kevin Lee/Ty Alexander Lindeman, however, it wasn’t to be as the Canadians closed out the day 21-16, 21-19 to defeat Australia 3-2.

Hear from National Head Coach Leanne Choo on the matches:

“What a fantastic effort from the boys.

“We knew it was going to be a very competitive tie against Canada.

“What’s most pleasing was watching Jack and Jacob close out their Singles matches after both going into the third game.”

Meanwhile, after yesterday’s tie against Chinese Taipei, our Uber Cup Team had today off to prepare for their Group Stage (B) tie against Malaysia on tomorrow at 11.30am (AEST).
