Vietnam Open Top 8! He Jiting/Zhou Haodong won and entered the quarterfinals, and the control error rate can go further.
On September 29, Beijing time, the 2022 Vietnam Badminton Open started the competition for the top 8 events. In the men's doubles competition that ended earlier today, the Chinese badminton young men's doubles combination He Jiting/Zhou Haodong defeated the Indian group Hari Haran Amsakarunan/Ruban Kumar Resina Sabati in two games and successfully entered the quarterfinals. The scores in the two games were 21 to 17, 21 to 13.
Judging from today's game, He Jiting/Zhou Haodong's opponent is not strong, and winning is expected. In fact, if He Jiting/Zhou Haodong performed slightly better in the first half of this year, he should be on vacation in China now. However, because of the average score, the points ranking is too low. Currently, they rank 45th in the world. In order to qualify for high-level events in the second half of this year and next year, they gave up their chance to rest and continue to compete in low-level events to earn as many points as possible.
He Jiting/Zhou Haodong still showed strength that surpassed his opponent in today's game, but there were too many mistakes in the game. This pair of combinations plays very similar to the Indonesian men's doubles style, with good speed and coherence, but their performance is unstable, often makes inexplicable mistakes, and their defensive abilities are average. In the future, if this pair of people wants to continue to make progress, they must work hard on details, and their performance needs to be more stable and their mentality is calmer, so they will still have a good future.
At present, the national badminton men's doubles have gradually formed the main players of Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi and Liang Weikeng/Wang Chang. He Jiting/Zhou Haodong's position is awkward. They need to work hard, otherwise they will miss the Paris Olympics.
