This year’s World Championships women’s Single champion Sindhu was eliminated in the first round... Yesterday, the first round of the 2019 China (Fuzhou) Badminton Open staged many exciting duels. Today, all the players participating in the second half of the first round will appear. Among them, the match between Lin Dan and Chen Long is particularly worth looking forward to.
Tai Tzu Ying won the first round. Thank you to the Fuzhou audience
In the first half of the first round yesterday, the match between the top seed, Chinese Taipei player Tai Tzu Ying and Rio Olympic champion Marin attracted attention. Just when everyone thought it would be a close battle, Tai Tzu Ying easily won the first game 21-16. When Dai Tzu Ying led 13-1 in the second game, Marin, who was in poor physical condition, chose to retire.
"I think I performed pretty well. My opponent caught a cold and was not in good physical condition, which affected her performance." After the game, Dai Ziying summarized the game like this.
Since 2014, Tai Tzu Ying has come to Fuzhou to participate in the Badminton Open almost every year. Regarding Fuzhou and Fuzhou fans, Dai Ziying gave high praise: "Every time I come to Fuzhou, I get a lot of support from fans. Thank you very much to them! I am very happy to come here to compete."
Many seeded players passed the test Sindhu was upset
In yesterday's game, many seed players showed good form.
China's number one mixed doubles combination Zheng Siwei / Huang Yaqiong defeated the German combination in just 28 minutes and successfully entered the next round.
The men's singles top seed in the tournament and the world's number one Japanese player Momota Kento was leading by a big score, but his opponent from Malaysia was in poor physical condition and chose to withdraw. Danish player Axelsen defeated Japanese player to advance. China's No. 2 women's singles player He Bingjiao defeated a Thai player to advance to the next round.
Fujian player Han Chengkai and teammate Zhou Haodong defeated Japanese players Takuro Hoki/Yugo Kobayashi yesterday. Fujian players He Jiting and Tan Qiang defeated a group of Russian players to advance.
One of the big upsets in yesterday's game was this year's World Championship women's singles champion, Indian player Pusarla V Sindhu. She lost to Chinese Taipei player Bai Yupo and was eliminated in the first round. Sindhu, who has continued to be in poor form after the World Championships, is the No. 6 seed in women's singles in this competition. Yesterday, the two fought for three rounds, and Bai Yupo won the crucial third round 21-19.
Today’s focus: Lin Dan vs. Chen Long
Today will be the second half of the first round. The competition between Lin Dan and Chen Long will undoubtedly attract the most attention.
How many times will Lin Dan and Chen Long face off today? Some senior fans have made statistics for this. In fact, as teammates of the national team, the number of duels between the two is estimated to be incalculable. In the early morning of October 28, Chen Long won his first championship of the season in the men's singles final of the French Open of the Badminton World Professional Tour. Returning to Fuzhou this time, I hope that both he and Lin Dan will be in good form and provide a wonderful showdown for the Fujian folks. In terms of
seed players, China's top women's singles player Chen Yufei , men's singles "Star of Hope" Shi Yuqi , men's doubles seed player Li Junhui / Liu Yuchen , etc. will all play today.
