[Title] => Euro team snares MVP Cup
[Summary] =>
This time, the Europeans are going home with the MVP Cup.
Behind big wins in mixed doubles and women’s singles, the best of Europe humbled the finest of Asia and ruled the MVP Cup, a successful three-day Ryder Cup-style badminton tournament at the Araneta Coliseum.
Despite a victory by perennial world No. 1 Lin Dan of China over Kenneth Jonassen of Denmark in the closing men’s singles, the Europeans rounded up the final points tally at 10-8. They lost to the Asians last year, 11-7.

[Title] => Asuncions put up brave stand
[Summary] =>
Kennevic and Kennie Asuncion didn’t mind losing to a European pair ranked 10th in the world.
What was important, the Pinoy siblings said after the match, was that they managed to put up a fight, a real good fight, before their cheering countrymen.
"Like in any other sport, you need to face a better opponent for you to get better," said Kennevic after he and sister Kennie bowed to Thomas Laybourn and Kamilla Rytter Juhl, 24-22, 17-21, 18-21.

[Title] => Danish star cools Indon ace
[Summary] =>
Kenneth Jonassen broke the hearts of Taufik Hidayat fans yesterday and in the process broke the ice for his team in the MVP Cup 2: Asia vs Europe badminton face-off at the Araneta Coliseum.
Jonassen, the world No. 4 from Denmark, used his lean 6-foot-2 frame to his advantage, covering the court so well in handing the reigning Olympic and world champion a surprise loss.
"It was my first time winning over Taufik in four or five matches," Jonassen told the press after his 21-17, 17-21, 21-12 win, the first for Europe, which lost all three matches Friday.

[Title] => Asuncions face tall order vs Danish duo
[Summary] =>
Local bets Kennevic and Kennie Asuncion should have been relieved with former world No. 1 Nathan Robertson and Gail Emms of England not returning to the 2nd MVP Cup, a unique event that pits the best of Asia against Europe’s finest.
Instead, the brother-sister tandem is still wary of their new foes — the Danish pair of Thomas Laybourn and Kamilla Rytter-Juhl — ranked ninth in the world and fourth in their continent.
