Earlier, Tai Tzu Ying, the No. 1 seed in the conference and ranked No. 1 in the world, faced Vietnamese player Vo Thi Thuy, ranked 52nd in the world. In the end, Tai Tzu Ying defeated Wu Thi Zhuang with 17:21, 21:15, 21:7 to advance to the top 16.

The Chinese Taipei Badminton Open has officially started. Earlier, Tai Tzu Ying, the top seed in the conference and ranked No. 1 in the world, played against Vietnamese player Vo Thi Thuy, ranked 52nd in the world. In the end, Tai Tzu Ying defeated Wu Thi Zhuang with 17:21, 21:15, 21:7 to advance to the top 16. In the next round, Dai Ziying will face Jiang Yingli, who is also from the Chinese Taipei badminton team. The 14-point difference in the decisive game reversed the Vietnamese players! Tai Tzu Ying advanced to the top 16 of the Taiwan Badminton Championships without any danger!

The Taipei Badminton Open, which has a total prize of US$500,000, held yesterday's out-of-conference matches and mixed doubles in-conference matches. The men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles and women's doubles schedules just started earlier.

Vu Thi Chong is the wife of Vietnamese badminton player Nguyen Tien Minh. Previously, Tai Tzu Ying had played against Vu Thi Chong in the 2017 Asian Championships. At that time, Tai Tzu Ying won in straight games in just 26 minutes. However, the earlier game did not go as smoothly as expected.

In the first game of this game, Dai Ziying took the lead in entering the game and scored 2:0, but then the counterattack went out of bounds and the two sides tied at 2:2. Then Tai Tzu Ying frequently went out of bounds in her counterattacks, and a series of mistakes caused her to lose the first game 17:21.

In this game, Dai Ziying was trailing 1:4 at the beginning. Having already lost the game, Dai Ziying had no way out. After adjusting her condition, she launched a counterattack to tie the game at 5:5. After that, Dai Ziying relied on smashing the ball in front of the net to score consecutively until 16:11. Although she lost 2 points in a row due to a mistake, she continued to expand her lead with continuous attacks. Tai Ziying also successfully regained a victory at 21:15.

In the decisive game, Dai Ziying carried the winning momentum of the previous game and was already in the state. Dai Ziying started with a 4:0 start. The next ball, Dai Ziying hit back and went out of bounds, and Wu Thizhuang scored a point. After that, Tai Ziying attacked frequently, and Wu Shizhuang was unable to resist. In the end, Tai Ziying easily won the victory with 21:7. It is worth mentioning that after winning the game, in addition to the fans cheering loudly for Tai Tzu Ying, there were also people who took advantage of the chaos to confess to Tai Tzu Ying's coach.

After the game, when talking about her defeat in the first game, Tai Tzu Ying said that she had waited too long for the game and it was a little slow at the beginning. There are still games to come and she will continue to work hard. Tai Ziying said: "I'm not too worried, I just try my best to get it back."

Although we believe in Tai Ziying's strength, many high-seeded players were eliminated in the first round of the Taiwan Badminton Championships. For example: Chinese Taipei teenager Liang Tingyu, ranked 190th in the world, upset the second-seeded women's singles player Li Wenshan with an ankle injury at 21:19, 21:14. Also, the third-seeded women's doubles player in the competition, Chinese Taipei pair Hsu Ya-ching/Wu Yurong, lost to Hong Kong pair Wu Yong-rong/Yang Yating earlier at 17:21, 22:20, 21:18. Furthermore, Chinese Taipei youngster Chen Jiting, ranked 340th in the world, narrowly defeated men's singles third seed Malaysian player Liu Guolun, ranked 31st in the world, 21:19, 21:18.

Therefore, there are no absolutes in the world, and high picks and high rankings do not mean winning. The duel between masters often happens in a split second, and the influence of some small factors may lead to loss. It is not easy to defend the championship.

Finally, I wish all the Chinese badminton athletes to perform to their best and achieve good results in this Taiwan Badminton Championships!
