Zhao Junpeng, ranked 13th in the world, has a mediocre record this season. He stopped in the second round of the three competitions including last week’s German Open. He had played against Luo Jianyou 4 times before, and only won 1 game, and he was swept in the last two encounters.
In this rematch, Zhao Junpeng took the lead and won the first game 21-16 by virtue of his excellent performance at the end of the game. But Luo Jianyou fought back in the second game and pulled back with the same score. In the deciding game, Zhao Junpeng was so powerful that he only allowed his opponent to score 7 points and won the 58-minute game.
He Jiting/Zhou Haodong, ranked 21st in the world in men’s doubles, also eliminated players who ranked higher than themselves. The “Ho Tung Lion Roar” combination has had ups and downs this season, participating 4 times and 3 “round trips”, but they broke into the finals in the Super 500 Indonesian Masters. This is the first time they played against Chinese Taipei team Lu Jingyao/Yang Bohan, who are ranked 14th in the world, and swept their opponents 21-10, 21-12.
In addition, Guoyu also played in 6 games that day. Women’s doubles top seeds Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan, No. 3 seeds Zheng Yu/Zhang Shuxian, mixed doubles top seeds Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong, women’s singles No. 4 seeds Chen Yufei, No. 6 seed Wang Zhiyi and others all won.
