In the end, it took 72 minutes for both sides to defeat Li Donggen to advance to the top 16 with a reversal of 18-21, 21-16, and 21-12. fights fiercely for 72 minutes to reverse the 22nd best player in the world! Zhou Tiancheng advanced to the top 16 in the Fuzhou Championship to play against the 31-year-old veteran!
Flipped over Zhou Tiancheng's past match record with Li Donggen. The two sides had fought 3 times before, and Zhou Tiancheng had a slight advantage in 2 wins and 1 loss. The last time the two sides met was in the Danish Badminton Open in October, when Zhou Tiancheng won three games.
Zhou Tiancheng recently won the runner-up in the Danish Badminton Open, and his momentum was in full swing. However, in the first game of this game, Zhou Tiancheng was in a slow state. Li Donggen first scored a point and scored 2 points in a row to lead. Although Zhou Tiancheng chased to 2-5, Li Donggen once again widened the score difference, and Zhou Tiancheng was at most 7 points behind. After the technical suspension came back, Zhou Tiancheng struggled to chase the points and finally tied with 15. After that, the two sides fought hard to separate. After the battle reached 18, Li Donggen stabilized in time and scored 3 points in a row, winning the first game 21-18.
games, Zhou Tiancheng was at the beginning and lagged behind 1-4, but Zhou Tiancheng, who had no way out, quickly chased 4 points and overtook 5-4. After that, the two sides were still anxious. After Zhou Tiancheng fought to 12-15, Zhou Tiancheng felt very good. In addition to Li Donggen's frequent mistakes, Zhou Tiancheng pulled out a 9-1 offensive and won a 21-16 victory.
in the third game, Zhou Tiancheng became more and more courageous as he fought, suppressing Li Donggen all the way. After Zhou Tiancheng led 2-1, he pulled out a 6-0 offensive to expand the gap. After that, Zhou Tiancheng took the lead at most 11 points. Zhou Tiancheng, who played with momentum, finally won another game 21-12, defeating Li Donggen and advancing to the top 16.
Next game, Zhou Tiancheng will face off against the 28th-ranked Malaysian 31-year-old veteran Liu Guolun . The two sides have fought 4 times before, each winning 2 wins and 2 losses. But considering the recent status of both sides, I personally think Zhou Tiancheng still has a slight advantage.
As for other players of the Chinese Taipei Badminton team, Bai Yupo lost to Li Wenshan, who just won the Macau Open championship in the first round 17-21 and 11-21; the world's fourth Chen Honglin and Wang Qilin combined 14-21 and 16-21 to be defeated by Tan Qiang and He Jiting, the world's 17th national badminton teams, Tan Qiang and He Jiting, directly defeated two; mixed doubles Li Yang and Xu Yaqing lost to Japanese combinations Watanabe Yuda and Higashino Yusa. It can be said that the Chinese Taipei Badminton Team was a bit miserable in the Fuzhou Open, and many events were blocked by strong enemies.
Finally, I also wish all the badminton players who have advanced to the top 16 to continue to cheer in the Fuzhou Open and perform their best!
