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.

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.
