The German badminton team finished last in the group at the World Mixed Championships in China. In the final in Suzhou on Thursday, Team DBV lost to Canada 3-2.

Two-time European and mixed champion Marc Lamsfus of 1. BC Webberfield scored one of two points against Canada, who also lost after the World Cup group stage. She opted for a mixed match with Isabelle Lohau (1BC Saarbrücken-Bishmeisheim) against Tai-Alexander Lindemann and Josephine Wu in straight sets for the German Badminton Association (21:16, 21:19).

Fabian Roth lacks consistency in his game

Luhau took the second point alongside compatriot Linda Eifler in women’s doubles. In the men’s doubles match against Canada, European champion pair Lamsfoss/Maren Seidel did not play. The Wipperfelders both scored points in 1-4 defeats to Thailand and Indonesia. Finally, Malek Borakadi (TV Refrath) celebrated his World Cup debut in the senior division. However, the 20-year-old lost in three sets alongside Jones Jansen (1.BC Webberfield) to Dong Adam and Neil Yakura.

The singles specialist Fabian Roth (TV Refrath) also left empty-handed. World No. 93. He lost to Brian Young, who had 68 spots ahead of him, at 3:21 p.m. and 8:22 p.m. “Overall you did well, unfortunately not enough throughout the match. But you can build your performance,” says Roth.

DBV is still without a medal in the Sudirman Cup

In women’s singles, Yvonne Lee (SV Fun-Ball Dortelweil) lost to Michelle Lee of Canada in straight sets (21:23, 16:21). Luhao was happy with their two successes but lamented that his team couldn’t bid farewell to the World Cup with a victory: “Overall, it’s a shame that we can’t reward ourselves with a win here.”

In the so-called Suedirmann Cup, the German team last reached the quarter-finals in 2015. DBV was waiting in vain for a medal at the World Mixed Team Championships, which have been taking place since 1989.
