- The final four is now set to take on a new format as the teams exit the pool rounds. Now the United States will take on Japan while the World Team plays Australia. They will each play two singles matches and one foursomes match.
- The United States may not have been in the tougher of the two pools, but their dominance was clear. Over the first three days the United States did not lose a single match, tied only once and usually won by huge margins. It really couldn’t have been drawn up any better. Angela Stanford should be paying close attention to these four, as they look seriously tough to beat.
- Broadcast partners in the United States should be thrilled by the results, with the United States and World Teams advancing to the semifinals, keeping many of the biggest stars in the competition.
- Incredible job by Japan to grind out the 1 1/2 points necessary to knock the home team out of the competition. Many, myself included, say Korea making the semifinals as a given, and it really rocked the home crowd. I was a bit concerned about the youth and relative inexperience of Japan, but that is now all gone.
- The World Team is playing strong with only one loss all week. All four players are contributing after a strong performance from Wei-Ling Hsu.
- As expected, Thailand and China knocked each other out, going 1-1 in the session. Unfortunately for fans, the matchup of Jeeno vs Ruoning Yin didn’t happen, but both superstars provided their country with a win in this round.
- Minjee Lee and Steph Kyriacou is an all-time pairing of players, taking the seemingly unbeatable team of Yealimi Noh and Angel Yin for the United States to a tie. Unfortunately for Australia, Grace Kim and Hannah Green haven’t provided the same results, going 0-3 with a blowout loss in the third round.
- While Sweden had trouble getting much going, Anna Nordqvist should feel good about her countrywomen Maja Stark and Linn Grant, who had a very good week.
