Danish Badminton Open: Weng Hongyang Advances to Quarterfinals, Faces Ginting

Original title: Danish Badminton Open quarterfinalist Weng Hongyang beats Dapopov to challenge Ginting today

The Danish Badminton Open, the World Badminton Super 750 event, ended all matches on the third match day early this morning, Beijing time. In the final men’s singles 1/8 finals, Chinese player Weng Hongyang defeated French player Big Popov and advanced to the quarterfinals. Today he will compete with No. 2 seed Ginting for the semifinals. In addition, the four national badminton women’s singles players who have entered the quarterfinals will compete against each other today.

Weng Hongyang’s opponent Dapopov eliminated Li Shifeng in the first round. He also left a deep impression on people because of his tall size. Facing Big Popov, Weng Hongyang tried to turn him around as much as possible and was not in a hurry to kill the ball. Because Big Popov was tall and long-armed, his protection range was large, and his defensive ability was also good. Heavy kills may not necessarily have a good effect. In the first game, Weng Hongyang had the right tactics, making many changes in the line, waiting for opportunities to score, and won the first game 21-16. In the second game, the competition between the two sides became more intense. Weng Hongyang also learned about his opponent’s defensive ability, and he could even fight back with a kill. When Dapopov got the game point at 20-19, Weng Hongyang was not in a hurry and did not compete for speed with his opponent. After saving the game point, he got the match point himself, and finally won 25-23 and advanced to the quarterfinals.

Weng Hongyang’s opponent in the quarterfinals is Jin Ting, the currently highest-ranked seed player. Jin Ting’s opponent in the 1/8 finals is Lu Guangzu. Although Lu Guangzu chased fiercely in the second game and the score between the two never opened up, Jin Ting was the stronger one and finally won two consecutive games 21-14 and 22-20.

In addition, Li Zhuoyao narrowly defeated Watanabe Koki 2-1, Nishimoto Kenta narrowly defeated Zhou Tiancheng 2-1, and Gemke defeated Lin Junyi. They also advanced to the men’s singles quarterfinals.

In the men’s doubles, two more pairs of seeds fell outside the quarterfinals. No. 4 seeds and new World Championship champions Seo Seung Jae/Kang Min Hyuk were eliminated by the Indonesian combination Fikri/Maulana. In this game, Fikri/Maulana showed superior defensive ability than their opponents, leaving the Korean combination, which is known for its good defense, helpless. They also maintained extremely fast speed in the midfield and frontcourt, winning two straight games. No. 6 seeds Takuro Hoki/Yugo Kobayashi fought hard for three games and lost to the Korean combination Jinlong/Luo Xingsheng. The top seeds Alfian/Ardianto also fought hard for three games before narrowly defeating the English combination Ben Ryan/Wendi who defeated Liu Boyang/Liu Yi in the first round. After losing the first game 19-21, they won two more games 21-21. 19 won and advanced.

The Chinese women’s doubles team Li Yijing/Luo Xumin, who performed well in the first round, unfortunately lost to Thailand’s Bunyapa/Rentakorn in the final match today and missed the quarterfinals.
