Douglas turns back clock
H TIANJIN. China.
May 3: Veteran Desmond Douglas. expecting no mote than an understudy role in England's World Championship campaign, produced a command performance to defeat Ctiina’s rising star Liu Guoliang in the men's team event today, reports Reuter.
The 39-year-old retired from the International scene five years ago but answered an SOS from the England team to cover for the Injured Carl Prean.
Douglas, who was winning tournaments before Liu was born, displayed renewed fire to defeat the world numlx-r 11-21. 12-14. 21-11.
His all-attacking styles rocked the 19-year-old who is being groomed as a future world champion and there were groans of disappointment from the Chinese spectators as Douglas hit a flurry of winners to lake the match.
Chinas world number two Wang Tao. off-form and lacklustre in his opening match on Tuesday, also struggled to beat the still unfit Prean 14-21. 21-19. 21-7 to add to the worries of the Chinese who had to thank the twice-victorious Kong Linghui for their 3-1 Group B win.
T had never set eyes on him (Liu) before and there was no pressure on me — everybody expected me to lose." said Douglas, the 11-times England champion who turns 40 In July.
' I came out here as a reserve as Carl Prean has a knee injury and I am just happy to get a game. You cannot come back after five years and expect to play the way you used io but it went okay against Liu. It s good to be al the World Championships again but It s a lot of hard work."
The Chinese, seeking to win ihe team title for the first time In eight years, are worried by the drop in form of their top players.
'"file players are a bit nervous and not playing their best bul we have won all our games which is satisfactory, said China's men's coach Cai Zhenhua.
He lost to 1988 Olympic champion Yoo Nam-Kyo 17-21. 21-17. 21-19 but bounced back to defeat Kim Taek-Soo 16-21, 21-17, 21-15 aS European champions France edged South Korea 3-2 In Group A

3-0 win over Sweden in Group A but World number two Qiao Hoiig continued to struggle.
