in the first round of the Canadian Badminton Open, the first national badminton women's singles young player Gao Fangjie , against South Korean star Kim Jiaen, Gao Fangjie easily won two straight games (21-9, 21-18) and successfully advanced to the top 16 .
Jia-en was born in 1998 and is not weak. In the Lingshui Challenge in April this year,Jia-en defeated Vietnamese player Wu Shizhuang, Chinese badminton players Li Yun and Cai Yanyan, and defeated teammate Shen Yulin again in the semi-finals, and advanced to the women's singles final against the newly comeback Li Xuerui . In the end, Kim Jiaen and Li Xuerui fought hard for three games, first winning and then losing 1-2 (21-16, 16-21, 18-21) and lost to Li Xuerui and won the runner-up. Although he did not win the championship, he defeated Cai Yanyan, a good player in the national badminton women's singles, and fought with Li Xuerui for three games. The strength he showed was not weak and was regarded by many fans as a rising star in the Korean women's singles.
and Gao Fangjie naturally needs to be said to be the future of the women's singles when the overall strength of the national badminton women's singles is not good, Gao Fangjie can stand out and is naturally seen as the future of the women's singles. Although her performance was not outstanding in the 2018 season, she was still placed with high expectations. In today's game, Gao Fangjie's performance was quite stable, and he only scored 9 points in the first game. In the first game, Gao Fangjie took the lead 3-0, but the opponent quickly tied 4. After both sides scored 1 point each, Gao Fangjie seized the opportunity to score consecutively and scored 9 points in a row. The score was directly expanded to 14-5. After that, although Jin Jiaen chased 3 points in a row, he lost to another round of attack by Gao Fangjie. In the end, Gao Fangjie won the first game 21-9.
The two sides played in a stalemate in the second game. Gao Fangjie started with a 6-1 lead, and then expanded the score to 9-3. However, Jin Jiaen did not give up at the critical moment, but pursued more harder. Continuously chasing points led the score to 13-14, only 1 point away. Gao Fangjie did not give her the chance to tie the score, and kept suppressing it steadily and played until 19-18. In terms of handling key points, Gao Fangjie seemed more calm, and directly won the second game for 2 consecutive points, defeated the Koreans 2-0 with a big score, and advanced to the second round.
From the perspective of the game process, Gao Fangjie was in a fast state but lacked endurance and her physical fitness was also a weakness. If she reached the decisive game, she was likely to be turned over by her opponent. After all, Jin Jiaen almost tied the score several times in the second game. However, Gao Fangjie's psychological quality is gradually maturing and becoming more stable at critical moments. In the 4th match of the US Championship, Gao Fangjie faced Li Wenshan. When he was leading 19-18, the opponent scored three points in a row and lost the best chance to equalize the score. Such a failure is not a bad thing for her, but it strengthened her psychological quality. I hope Gao Fangjie can grow rapidly through continuous tempering. Come on!
