Yamaguchi Akane said before the game that she would always win the game. Indeed, from the previous record, Yamaguchi Akane obviously had the upper hand. In addition, Yamaguchi Akane played at home this time, and the possibility of winning was very high, but Chen Yufei was in a very brave state. She suppressed Yamaguchi Akane in the first game and won the first game 21-13. In the second game, Yamaguchi Akane recovered and once fought with Chen Yufei. At the end of the game, Yamaguchi Akane caught Chen Yufei's mistake, scored 5 points in a row, and won the game 21-15.
decisive game, Chen Yufei took the lead 4-1 as soon as she came up. Although Akane Yamaguchi once overtook the score, Chen Yufei played quite calmly and quickly took the lead again. After returning from the timeout, Akane Yamaguchi was completely suppressed by Chen Yufei, and the gap between the two sides became larger and larger. In the end, Chen Yufei ended the game 21-15. After defeating Akane Yamaguchi, Chen Yufei already had the opportunity to touch the championship. I hope she can continue to work hard.
Gao Fangjie and Ohori Aya had a fight in the 2017 China Masters. At that time, Ohori Aya won the game 2-0. After a year, Gao Fangjie was still at a disadvantage in the duel with Ohori Aya and lost to his opponent 0-2 again, which is indeed a pity. Although Chen Xiaoxin lost to Aohara Hope and missed the semi-finals, Chen Xiaoxin had already performed very well in the previous games, defeating Zhang Beiwen and Dai Ziying one after another, which shows that Chen Xiaoxin's performance is already outstanding enough.
