In the early morning of December 18, the quarter-finals of the 2021 World Badminton Championships ended.

In the men's singles, Zhao Junpeng missed the match point and lost to Indian teenager Lakshya and missed the semi-finals. The national badminton men's singles were wiped out.

Zhao Junpeng once rose to prominence in 2016. He defeated Shi Yuqi in the national championship and won the championship. At the end of the year, he defeated Zhou Tiancheng in the Macau Open and won the championship. However, he was plagued by injuries in the following years. Apart from winning a few team competitions with the team, he failed to win the championship in other competitions.

The world championship was also affected by various objective factors. Zhao Junpeng had the opportunity to be invited and qualified to participate. Unexpectedly, it brought us a surprise. This competition is only one step away from the podium, and I hope to go one step further next year.

Lakshya, who won, will compete with his teammate Srikanth for a spot in the finals.

The first brother of Malaysia had blisters on the soles of his feet when he played against Vittinghus in the last round. This time against Antonsen , Li Zijia had blister on the soles of his feet. In the first game, Li Zijia endured the pain and played. After the second game, blood continued to seep out, and he finally chose to retire. The victorious Antonsen will compete against Singapore player Luo Jianyou for another finals seat. The latter swept Prannoy 2:0.

In this way, two of the five sparring partners of Axelsen (Lakshya and Luo Jianyou) have reached the semi-finals of this world championship. Axelsen is going to be the godfather of badminton! Pay wages and train opponents. If we can meet in the finals, it may be a good story! Picture

In the women's singles, Zhang Yiman , who comes from the Jiangxi team like Zhao Junpeng, unexpectedly reversed Intanon's poor condition and advanced to the semi-finals.

Zhang Yiman is also a marginal figure in the World Series. In the past, he often fell in the second round in the tournament. He has only won the championship of the 2019 Vietnam Open (super100) once. Due to their own ranking and strength, there are not many opportunities to participate in the team competition. In this competition, I have seized the opportunity to prove my strength. Zhang Yiman, who was born in 1997, is only 24 years old and still has a chance! Come on! After the victory of

, Zhang Yiman will compete with Akane Yamaguchi and for the final qualification. Yamaguchi Akane and An Xiying fought for 3 games in the quarter-finals. This was the sixth time the two met in the second half of the year.

's first opener, Tai Tzu Ying , was in hot form, sweeping Sindhu in two games. He Bingjiao defeated teammate Han Yue and advanced to the semi-finals. I hope He Bingjiao can replicate her 2018 matchup and defeat Tai Tzu Ying.

In terms of men’s doubles, this should be the last time Shuang Wei partners in an international competition. In the quarter-finals, the two of them played in the middle of the second game. They were not interested in playing, so they started playing as an exhibition match. In the end, they lost to the Guoyu combination of He Jiting/ Tan Qiang 20-22, 14-21 and missed the opportunity to be delisted. In the semi-finals, He Jiting/Tan Qiang will face Danish strong team Astrup/ Rasmussen .

In the women's doubles match, the Chenchen combination staged a magical reversal. In the match against Matsuyama Naomi/ Shida Chihiro, they won the first round 21-13. When trailing 9-16 in the second game, they hit a 12-1 climax and eliminated their opponent 21-17. In the semifinals Chen Qingchen / Jia Yifan will face old rival Matsumoto Mayu / Nagahara Wakana .

Another finals spot will be between two Korean teams.
