On October 30, 2021, the French Open of Badminton continued, and the two Japanese players met with the women's singles final. Sa Takahashi also reversed the famous Indian star Sindhu 2-1, causing a big upset. Aka Yamaguchi defeated An Siying again 2-1, and Aka Yamaguchi and Sa Takahashi also competed for the championship. After the Danish Open, Aka Yamaguchi is expected to achieve another good result. As long as he reaches the decisive game, it will be difficult for anyone to defeat her.
Yamaguchi Akane is Japan's No. 2 women's singles. World champion Okuhara Honey is absent and is actively recovering to prepare for the World Championships. In the Sudiman Cup and Uber Cup, Yamaguchi Akane defeated Olympic gold medalist Chen Yufei twice, which attracted more fans' attention. Yamaguchi Akane eliminated He Bingjiao in the Danish Open, narrowly defeated An Xiying 2-1 in the final to win the championship. Although she did not rest in consecutive competitions, her competitive state was very stable.
It is true that Akane Yamaguchi plays very hard, has strong willpower and is very difficult to deal with, and her physical fitness is one of her major advantages. If you want to defeat Akane Yamaguchi, try to win 2-0. As long as you enter the decisive game, you will usually not keep up with the rhythm of your opponent. The title of Little Motor is well deserved.
Both are top experts in the world, Akane Yamaguchi ranked fifth and An Xiying ranked eighth, and they are in good condition recently. Akane Yamaguchi scored 11-5 in the first game, and soon took the lead with 21-13. An Xiying started to accelerate 11-8 in the second game, leading the overall score 21-10, and equalizing the scores in the final game alternately. Akane Yamaguchi seized the key points and narrowly won 21-18.
two consecutive open tournaments, Akane Yamaguchi eliminated An Xiying 2-1. Looking back at the process of the game, Akane Yamaguchi's physical fitness is indeed too strong, and An Xiying really can't beat her. I don't know how long it can last for Akane Yamaguchi's state to last. The World Championships held at the end of the year are the highlight. At that time, she will become the main rival of the Chinese team. I believe Chen Yufei, He Bingjiao, and Wang Zhiyi will be fully prepared this time.
29-year-old Sa Takahashi also advanced to the finals of the high-level event for the first time, meeting with his teammate Akane Yamaguchi. He won the championship and runner-up in the Japanese women's singles. She first defeated the world champion Indanon 2-0. Her opponent in the semi-finals was Indian star Sindhu. Sindhu won two medals in women's singles event in the two Olympics. Everyone is generally optimistic about Sindhu in this game, but he really didn't expect that Sa Takahashi could win.
In the first game, Sindou played steadily, maintaining the lead and winning the first game 21-18. In the second game, Sindou suddenly dropped the lead in the game, Takahashi Sa also added the back-range and equalized 21-16. In the decisive game, Takahashi Sa also added 11-6 and entered the midfield timeout. Then he took advantage of the situation to chase and lock the victory 21-12. In this way, Takahashi Sashi also reversed Sindou 2-1. She will challenge Akane Yamaguchi to compete for the women's singles championship.
