The Indonesian Badminton Open held its quarter-finals yesterday. The Chinese badminton team continued to perform well in the weakest men’s singles and men’s doubles events, with Zhao Junpeng and Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi entering the top four of the Super 1000 event for the first time.
In yesterday’s men’s singles match, Zhao Junpeng defeated Li Zhuoyao of Hong Kong, China 2-1, with the scores of 21-14, 17-21, 21-11 in the three games. He will face India’s Prannoy in the semi-finals. Denmark’s Axelsen and Malaysia’s Li Zijia also entered the semi-finals, beating Indonesia’s Ginting and Singapore’s Luo Jianyou respectively.
In the men’s doubles, Guoyu also received good news. Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi eliminated No. 6 seed Alfian/Adianto of Indonesia with two 21-18 matches. The Indonesian pair won the championship in a row with two Chinese pairs in the semifinals and finals of last week’s Indonesia Masters. In the semi-final, Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi will face off against Malaysia’s Xie Dingfeng/Su Weiyi.
The Indonesian men’s doubles suffered a tragic defeat in this competition. Eight pairs of players did not make it to the semi-finals, including two pairs of the top three players in the world.
In the women’s singles three strong dialogues with Guoyu, Chen Yufei defeated the former world champion and Japan’s Nozomi Okuhara 2-0 (21-16, 21-10). In the semifinals, she will face Chinese Taipei star Tai Tzu-ying. He Bingjiao defeated the world‘s third-ranked South Korean teenager Ahn Se-young 2-1 in three games (15-21, 21-17, 21-14). Wang Zhiyi eliminated top-seeded and Japanese star Akane Yamaguchi in straight sets 21-19, 21-14. The post-00 Chinese teenager Akane Yamaguchi has a high winning rate and has won three consecutive games against Akane Yamaguchi.
The Chinese women’s doubles suffered heavy losses, with Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan and Du Yue/Li Wenmei all losing in the quarter-finals. The mortal combination lost two games in a row to Kitty Harakur/Bazonzai of Thailand, 19-21, 15-21, which was very unexpected. The previous battle record between the two sides was Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan’s 13-game winning streak, but the Fanchen combination played erratically yesterday. Du Yue/Li Wenmei lost 0-2 to No. 6 seed Japan’s Naimi Matsuyama/Shida Chiyo. South Korea’s Lee So-hee/Shin Seung-chan and Japan’s Fukushima Yuki/Hirota Saika also advanced to the women’s doubles semifinals.
The IELTS team and the Yellow Duck team will face each other for the mixed doubles final today. Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong defeated Denmark’s Christiansen/Bao Jie 2-1 yesterday, while Wang Yilu/Huang Dongping eliminated Malaysia’s Chen Tangjie/Xiao Zixuan 2-0. Japan’s Yuta Watanabe/Arisa Higashino will compete with South Korea’s Seo Seung Jae/Chae Yoo Jin for another mixed doubles final. (Xinmin Evening News reporter Wang Zhiling)
