Final

The final of the 1994 Thomas Cup was played on 21 May 1994 between hosts Indonesia and defending champions Malaysia. It was the sixth meeting between the two nations in the Thomas Cup final. Hariyanto Arbi gave Indonesia a 1–0 lead when he defeated Rashid Sidek 15–6, 15–11. Rudy Gunawan and Bambang Suprianto expanded the lead after defeating Malaysia's Cheah Soon Kit and Soo Beng Kiang in three games. In the third match, Olympic silver medalist Ardy Wiranata defeated Ong Ewe Hock 15–11, 15–5. The next two matches were halted by umpire Roger Johansson due to the crowd in the stadium being too distracting and noisy for the Malaysians. This marked Indonesia's ninth win at the Thomas Cup and their first win since 1984. [3]
