Since entering this season, the best performance in the women's singles in the national badminton team is not the Tokyo Olympic champion and the No. 1 women's singles Chen Yufei , but the He Bingjiao , who won the two consecutive ranking championships. Her progress is obvious to all, and she has a faint tendency to compete with Chen Yufei. She has achieved an almost invincible record of 21 wins and 1 loss in various individual and team competitions so far this season, and is in a 10-game winning streak.
But it is a bit regrettable that in the women's singles quarter-finals of the Thailand Badminton Open that ended on the afternoon of May 20th, Beijing time, she still lost 1-2 by her hard-working and old rival. Chinese Taipei player Dai Ziying , missed the semifinals of the match. Moreover, the two's confrontation record was also rewritten to 2 wins and 10 losses, and He Bingjiao was at an absolute disadvantage.
Since this year, He Bingjiao's team has been in very good shape. Not to mention the women's singles championships that have won the two tournaments, as for the Uber Cup team competition that ended last week, He Bingjiao is also the one who performed the best among the Chinese women's teams. Not only did she not lose a set, she also played the most relaxed in the final with the Korean team, which gave fans a feeling of reassurance. Although the Chinese team failed to defend the Youth Cup, He Bingjiao is one of the most praised players with a clear conscience. In the subsequent Thai Open, He Bingjiao won the game all the way to the quarterfinals, and it was all smooth sailing until she played against Tai Tsai.
He Bingjiao's previous record against Dai Ziying was 2 wins and 9 losses. Perhaps it was a psychological problem. He Bingjiao was not open enough and was a little restrained. She was beaten 10-21 by the opponent when she came up. In the second game, He Bingjiao began to fight back, and her condition rebounded, winning the game 21-14. In the key decisive game, the two fought to the end of the game, and He Bingjiao still had a game difference, 18 to 21, losing 1 to 2 in a big score, and unfortunately missed the final. At this point, He Bingjiao's seven consecutive victories came to an abrupt end.
In this way, although the Chinese women's team has a certain overall advantage, it cannot be said that they have absolute dominance in terms of singles individuals. According to data, in addition to Tai Tzu-ying, He Bingjiao's past record against Japanese athletes such as Akane Yamaguchi and Hokkien Ohara, has won fewer wins and more losses, and the difference is still very large, plus the Rio Olympic champion Spain's Marin. In order to be invincible in the individual competitions such as the World Championships or the Olympics, He Bingjiao needs to continue to train hard and work hard.
