With hosts China primed to make a statement in Chengdu and India hoping to conjure up another miracle, here’s how to watch a 2024 Thomas & Uber Cup live stream for free online.
Two years on, India and South Korea’s respective Thomas and Uber Cup triumphs in 2022 are still difficult to fathom, but every action provokes a reaction. Hosts China have won the Uber Cup every time the tournament has been staged on home soil, and while India’s Thomas Cup team is identical on paper, its component parts have had a tough time of things. Here’s where to watch Thomas & Uber Cup live streams online for free – from anywhere.
South Korea’s hopes of retaining the iconic Uber Cup trophy largely rest on An Se-Young, whose right knee has been troubling her since October. The Chinese team is simply rock-solid in all departments, while Japan, spearheaded by Akane Yamaguchi, are measuring up as the best of the rest. 17-year-old Tomoka Miyazaki in particular will be worth keeping an eye out for on her Uber Cup debut.
The Thomas Cup looks wide open. HS Prannoy and Lakshya Sen, the faces of India’s jaw-dropping run to the title in Bangkok, have fallen on tough times of late, though the pairing of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty looks near-unbeatable. Kento Momota, who’s set to retire this year at the age of just 29 as a result of the devastating car crash he was involved in four years ago, is hoping to go out in style for Japan, while Indonesian youngster Alwi Farhan has been tipped for big things.
