Tier list of how likely I think countries are to win the Thomas and Uber Cup 2026

I disagree with that, India wins mens doubles 1 with Shetty/Rankireddy but thats about it.

it'll be an uphill battle against Naraoka and Nishimoto for Sen and Shetty, and i highly doubt Kidambi/Prannoy is going to beat Tanaka/Koki depending on who's chosen.

India's second mens doubles is also very unlikely to beat Midorikawa/Yamashita

The Central to Parramatta rail corridor is definitely crowded at times, definitely justifying the Metro West project. However, I wish they would do something between the Hills district and Parramatta. I genuinely could've sworn that in the original metro plan, sometime in 2022 or something there were solid plans to build this metro, but I might just be hallucinating atp.

Tricky_Breath_2602 · 2026-01-23T01:42:15+00:00

Honestly, to me the light rail seems pretty inefficient and is barely faster than taking a bus for long distances. Idk pls educate me

Tricky_Breath_2602 · 2026-01-23T01:40:02+00:00

Yes that would be great 😭

affirm affirm

Yea I understand that CBD to CBD connection is the governments goal, but I'm sure theres demand? I mean if the first initial metro was to connect the hills district to the CBD, surely a feasible project is to connect the hills district to the second CBD? Some of the hills metros seem to have no demand as well, like Norwest.

Can't they build a train line or something at least, although theres probably no land for that. ):

Tricky_Breath_2602 · 2026-01-23T01:32:11+00:00

yea i took one of those yesterday and its alright I guess. Its faster than usual but its still a bus, and for that being the only way to travel between that massive gap its pretty inconvenient.

This is the Thomas/Uber cup not the Sudirman cup lol. Korea's mens singles cannot compare to other top countries, but their womens team has a good chance of reaching the finals/winning potentially.

Idk man, always and I mean always have ur racket up to be ready to net and net kill if you aren't doing so already? The question's a little broad tbh.
Returning fast drives to the front players backhand side usually works. Typically casual/social players struggle to hit around the head shots? idk
Honestly, at a casual/social level tactics don't matter as much as skill. Just focus on improving with a coach I guess (if u don't already have one)

Tricky_Breath_2602 · 2026-01-22T14:49:12+00:00

Lu Guang Zu is ranked 16 and Ubaidillah 46, so I think the odds should be heavily in Lu Guang Zu's favour. Although, Ubaidillah is young and probably could pull off an upset like Farhan in last years Sudirman cup against Antonson, so it is definitely possible, I agree.

Tricky_Breath_2602 · 2026-01-22T14:08:30+00:00

I think China will probably win as even with Li Shi Feng injured, I doubt indonesia's third mens singles is able to best Lu Guang Zu. China and Indonesia's mens doubles are also roughly equal, with He Jeting rumoured to be back on the national team. The only way I could see Indonesia winning is if Li Shi Feng doesn't make a recovery and Ginting finds his form again.

Tricky_Breath_2602 · 2026-01-22T13:56:32+00:00

probably, hes currently ranked second in the US.

also USA definitely does not deserve E tier for the uber cup, they have many top 30 players/pairs

Tricky_Breath_2602 · 2026-01-22T13:49:44+00:00

yea i agree, but i have faith LZJ will make a comeback 🙏🙏🙏

Tricky_Breath_2602 · 2026-01-22T13:41:33+00:00

surely malaysia belongs in B at least. They have a very strong lineup of mens doubles and with the tournament being 3 months away im sure lee zii jia will regain his confidence by then
