In the early morning of this year, the semi-finals of the 2022 Danish Badminton Open ended. In the final men's singles battle, Ishi Yuqi made the final appearance and competed for a place in the final with Nara Okako Koda. The game was ups and downs. The national badminton ace that had just returned, played very hard and was forced into the final game and almost lost. However, it eventually staged a Jedi reversal, which performed the performance of the top defeating the top and eliminating the Japanese star, and once again struck the men's singles championship after three years.
This tournament's national badminton performance was outstanding, reaching all the top 4 in the single event except for men's doubles. In the previous five semi-finals, the Chinese badminton team won all the foreign battles, the IELTS combination, Fanchen combination, Feng Yanzhe / Huang Dongping , Chen Yufei defeated the foreign association players respectively, He Bingjiao defeated Han Yue in the derby battle. Shi Yuqi's game has the greatest variables. After all, the former top Chinese badminton team had been suspended from the team and had not returned for a long time. Moreover, the 21-year-old Nara Okakura currently ranked 20 places higher than Shi Tou. He reached the finals four times this season and won the Vietnam Open championship. His competitive state is better than his opponent.
Shi Yuqi is a technical player, with delicate front of the net, a backcourt slam and a top-head assault threat, strong concealment of movements, excellent explosive power, but physical fitness is his weakness, and it is easy to collapse until the third game. In today's semi-finals, Shi Yuqi quickly entered the state in the first game, and was determined to take the offensive end. In the second half, he relied on his powerful and powerful killing ball to widen the score difference and took the lead 21-15. In the second game, the post-00s Japanese post-00s relied on defense and disrupted Shi Yuqi's rhythm. The more the Chinese badminton players played, the more urgent the mistakes increased, and they lost 9-21, and both sides returned to the same starting line.
Decisive game Shi Yuqi started 7-1. Nara Okaku saw that the situation was not right and asked for a timeout to get a chance to breathe. After playing again, he took advantage of Shi Yuqi's feel to overtake the score, and tried to use various excuses to delay time and try to ruin the opponent's mentality. After the game reached 18, Nara Okakoto scored consecutively and won the match point. Shi Yuqi was not ruthless at all times, and took the initiative to attack and scored 3 points in a row. After the game reached 22, Shi Yuqi became more and more courageous and scored 2 points in a row, and advanced to the final score of 24-22. After winning, Shi Yuqi roared with all his strength and released his emotions. In the last foreign battle, it was too difficult for the national badminton team to win.
At this point, Shi Yuqi won the opponent in three games and achieved the best record after his comeback. He reached the final again after 3 years and will compete with Malaysian No. 1 Li Zijia . Shi Yuqi won the championship last time in 2019. Li Zijia is the successor of Lee Chong Wei , but Shi Yuqi also has a chance of winning. He must boost confidence through the championship and return to the top and prove that he is the leader in the men's singles of the national badminton team. Can Shi Yuqi, who has experienced setbacks and downs in the past year, do it?
