The highly anticipated BWF World Tour Finals kicked off in Bangkok on December 7, Beijing time. There are four athletes in our province participating in the competition: Chen Yufei participating in the women's singles competition, the "IELTS" combination leads the mixed doubles, and the "Yellow Duck" combination, which was temporarily separated, also returned to the arena.
Since only the eight players or combinations with the best performance in each individual event are eligible to be invited to participate in this competition, every game is a strong competition.
In a focus match for women's singles yesterday afternoon, Chen Yufei 2-0 defeated the Japanese star and two-time World Championship champion Yamaguchi Akane , ending the embarrassment of losing to the same opponent five times in a row, and seeing hope again in the battle to advance to the semi-finals.
In the previous women's singles first game, Chen Yufei accidentally lost to Indonesian Marisca, which made the prospect of qualifying a lot dimmed. While successfully winning his first victory in the group stage yesterday, Chen Yufei also retained the hope of advancement. As long as he defeated An Xiying in the last game, he is likely to be qualified for the semi-finals. After defeating Akane Yamaguchi, Chen Yufei's total battle record with her opponent reached 9 wins and 15 losses. Although she is still at a disadvantage, this victory will undoubtedly bring her more confidence.
With Wang Yilu 's injury recovery, the "yellow duck" combination returned to the world and appeared on the stage of the finals. Because they did not participate in the official competition for a long time, they had a tacit understanding in the first group match and lost to Chen Jianming and Lai Peijun in an upset manner.
Yesterday faced Su Park and Su Pissara from Thailand. Once they lost, Huang Dongping and Wang Yilu will most likely stop in the group stage. Under heavy pressure, the Yellow Duck combination exploded in this game and did not suffer much resistance. He swept his opponent 2-0 and ended up laughing.
mixed doubles arena, the first opponent of the French group Gicquette/Derluo. There is a clear gap in strength between the two sides. The IELTS combination completely overwhelmed the opponent and easily scored a good start to the group stage with a total score of 21-8 and 21-9.
Facing the strong Rivaldi/Mentari, the "IELTS" combination continued the good state of the first game, and also defeated the opponent 2-0 with a big score, winning two consecutive victories in the group. In the next round, "IELTS" will fight with Malaysian combination Wu Shunfa/Lai Jiemin.
As one of the most influential badminton event in the world, this competition will last until December 11, Beijing time. Let’s cheer for national badminton together, and look forward to good results from the Zhejiang athletes!
