On July 18, Beijing time, the Indonesian badminton open quarterfinals competition, and the men's singles are not calm: first, veteran Lin Dan lost 1-2 to Zhou Tiancheng , missed the quarterfinals; then Indonesian No. 1 Jin Ting lost 1-2 to Thailand Wang Zhenggan , missed the quarterfinals; then, the national badminton player Huang Yuxiang broke out in a cold, defeating Momota Kento 2-1, and sent the defending champion to be eliminated; just when the fans felt that the national badminton men's singles championship was in sight, National badminton leader Shi Yuqi accidentally sprained his ankle in the game, and regretted withdrawing from the competition. This Indonesia venue is really poisonous!
It can be seen that Shi Yuqi's ankle swollen and he couldn't stand steadily, so he had no choice but to withdraw from the competition:
Shi Yuqi In this competition, Shi Yuqi was guarding the lower half as the No. 2 seed, and his biggest opponent to win the championship is the world's number one and defending champion Kento Momota. After more than a month of training, the national badminton men's singles are expected to break the curse of not being crowned in the Indonesian game in the past 30 years, but it is a pity that they were accidentally injured in the match against Antonsen.
After this Indonesian tournament, it will be the Japan Open, the Thailand Open and the upcoming World Championships in August. Shi Yuqi was seriously injured this time, and he will definitely not be able to participate in the next two open tournaments, and even the World Championships will have a certain impact. I don’t know what the final injury will be, but whether Shi Yuqi can fully recover before the World Championships.
Shi Yuqi is currently the top national badminton team. He reversed Kento Momota in the Sudiman Cup final in May and scored a 21-5 big score to secure the championship for the Chinese team. He is regarded as the successor of Lin Dan and Chen Long , and is also the favorite to win the championship at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics; I hope this injury will not have much impact, otherwise the continuous missed competition will also be a big loss for Olympic points.
