html On the afternoon of July 1st, the Malaysian Open completed the competition for each individual final. The Chinese team, which reached the three finals, won the mixed doubles championship. In the mixed doubles final of the Chinese team's meeting, Zheng Siwe/ Huang Yaqiong defeated teammates Wang Yilu/Huang Dongping to win the championship. Women's singles He Bingjiao and women's doubles Chen Qingchen/ Jia Yifan lost to Dai respectively. Ziying and Misaki Matsutomo/Ayaka Takahashi finished second. Lee Chong Wei defeated Kento Momota to win the 12th Open Championship at home in Malaysia. The men's doubles championship was won by Takeshi Kamura/Keigo Sonoda.

"Normal" and "unpopular" in adjustments

From a level perspective, the Malaysian Open, as the first Super 750 event in 2018, has higher points. Judging from the schedule, this is the first high-level open competition after the Thomas and Uber Cup. Players from all walks of life are given sufficient time and space to adjust and prepare before the game. Time is equal and fair to everyone. Different players can extract what they need from this rare preparation time, which also creates the so-called "normal" and "unpopular" in the game. In the first round of the

competition, Chen Long lost to Thai teenager Kantaporn 0-2. In the eyes of some fans, the score was not very good. Denmark's number one men's doubles Bowie/Morgensen and number one mixed doubles Christiansen/Petersen were also eliminated on the same day, giving people the feeling that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. As the game progressed, we heard more similar news. The Chinese women's doubles Huang Dongping/Li Wenmei and Du Yue/Li Yinhui defeated a pair from Japan and South Korea on the same day, and He Jiting/ Tan Qiang defeated the world rankings in two games. Sukamulyo/Gideon in first place. These news may be regarded as "upset" and "breakthrough" by many fans, but if you take a closer look at the final lineup and the ownership of the championship, it is not difficult to find that they are still the group of players active at the front. It can be seen that after a month of "rest", the players in the impact position did create a lot of surprises, but there are still many first-line players who can hold the line of defense, and different players have different adjustments.

Furthermore, the Malaysian Open is followed by the Indonesia Super 1000, the Thailand Super 500, the Singapore Super 500, as well as the Nanjing World Championships at the end of July and the Asian Games in August. This is an almost marathon schedule. It's really difficult to arrange. Every player will have his or her own plans and goals, which makes many results not necessarily "unpopular". Maybe some people's goal is to win the Indonesian Open with higher points, some people's goal is to adjust through the game and prepare for the competition, and some people's goal is to try their best. Grab points, that's all. Therefore, it is difficult for us to use a standardized "performance" to judge the status of each player. This unusual month may be pregnant with many small goals and plans, we just have to wait and see.

brings the score closer

The busy month kicked off with the Malaysian game, and many games showed things that were not consistent with the pre-game expectations. Among them are the "upset" mentioned above, and also the narrowing of the strength gap reflected in the score. World Championship champions Zhang Nan /Liu Cheng fought three fierce games with the Russian combination Ivanov/Sozonov in the second round. They narrowly defeated the decisive game 25-23. The next day, they played again with the Malaysian combination Goh V Sheng /Tan Weiqiang. After three games, they lost by a narrow margin. In the 1/8 finals, Sukamulyo/Gideon defeated Hsieh Dingfeng/Su Weiyi 30-28 in the second game.

England's mixed doubles pair Adcock/White have always been ranked among the top ten in the world, but they have always lacked outstanding open champions. This time they showed faster speed, more stable defense, stronger blocking and attack, and eliminated the three Olympic mixed doubles champions Zhang Nan, Ahmad and Nasir, and once defeated Zheng in the semi-finals. Thinking/Huang Yaqiong is forced into the most critical situation. Judging from the pre-match record and style, many people may not be leaning towards the English team in these games, but in fact they reached the semi-finals on a relatively difficult line and even had a chance to reach the finals. .

A good shot and another good shot

This time, the young players of the national badminton team created many surprises.In the 1/8 finals, Huang Dongping/Li Wenmei defeated the second-seeded Japanese combination Hirota Ayaka/Fukushima Yuki, currently ranked number one in the world, and Du Yue/Li Yinhui also defeated the Korean pair Shin Seung-chan/Lee So-hee in two games. He Jiting/Tan Qiang eliminated Sukamulyo/Gideon, who were undefeated in a single open event this year, in two games. He Bingjiao eliminated Akane Yamaguchi and Ratchanok, two players who are in good form this year.

But this state did not last until the end. After defeating the high-ranking seed combination, the two women's doubles pairs lost to the lower-ranked seed combination in the next round. After He Jiting/Tan Qiang defeated Sukamulyo/Gideon, who were undefeated in this year's single open event, they lost in the second round to Keigo Sonoda/Takeshi Kamura, who had similar playing styles. He Bingjiao performed well on the way to promotion, and even took the lead in getting the game point in the first game of the final. But after being reversed in the first game, the opening score of the second game was a bit unsatisfactory. The upward momentum and momentum of young players is undoubtedly worthy of recognition, but dialectically, how to develop such surprises and breakthroughs into a normal state is the key to their true advancement to a higher level. Playing a good ball is a good thing, playing a good ball is a surprise. How to pursue another good ball after a good ball is what they need to understand. Although they did not bloom with a championship in the end, this experience has proved their growth.
