Original title: China Badminton Masters: Three of the top four women’s singles players, Zhao Junpeng, advance to the men’s singles semi-finals
The 2023 Li Ning China Badminton Masters held in Shenzhen held the quarter-finals of each event on the 24th. The national badminton occupied the three top four seats in the women’s singles, and the “lone seedling” Zhao Junpeng in the men’s singles advanced to the semi-finals.
There were many competitions within the national badminton team that day, and two of the women’s singles matches went to the final game. In the end, Han Yue defeated Zhang Yiman; He Bingjiao was injured and retired in the third game, and Chen Yufei entered the semi-finals.
“Both of us performed relatively well in the first two games, and I feel very happy playing like this. I also have some minor problems (injury), but I can still play and persist. There are only the last two games. Yes, just try your best.” Chen Yufei said.
Wang Zhiyi also experienced three hard games and eliminated Japanese player Nozomi Okuhara. The other top four spot belongs to South Korea’s Kim Ga-eun, who blocked Vietnam’s “dark horse” Nguyen Cuiling from the semi-finals.
In the men’s singles arena, Zhao Junpeng, the “lone youngster” of the national feather team, continues to advance. He fought fiercely with Chinese Taipei player Lin Junyi for three rounds and finally won with 18:21, 21:17 and 21:15. “Lin Junyi is an opponent I am familiar with. He plays a more aggressive style and is faster in attacking and grabbing the net, so you must be patient when playing against him.” Zhao Junpeng pointed to his black jersey and expressed his confidence that “it will be black to the end.” .
Zhao Junpeng will face Japanese player Kenta Nishimoto in the semi-finals. The other semi-final will be between two Japanese strong players Kodai Naraoka and Kanta Tsuneyama.
Mixed doubles top seeds Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong and third seeds Feng Yanzhe/Huang Dongping each won, and the Chinese team met in the semi-finals. National badminton rookies Cheng Xing/Chen Fanghui are only a little bit away from victory. Against this year’s World Championship champions, the South Korean pair Seo Seung Jae/Chae Yoo Jung, they tied with each other in the first two games. They took a big lead at the beginning of the third game, but were overtaken in the final stage and lost 17:21.
There are two pairs of men’s doubles teams from China who will meet in the semifinals. The second seed Liang Weikeng/Wang Chang had the last laugh in their strong dialogue with the Tokyo Olympic champions and Chinese Taipei pair Li Yang/Wang Qilin, and will face teammates Chen Baiyang/Liu Yi in the next game. He Jiting/Ren Xiangyu also entered the semi-finals.
The two pairs of national badminton women’s doubles had one win and one loss. The top seeds Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan easily defeated the French combination Lambert/Tran 2:0 to advance. The third seed Zhang Shuxian/Zheng Yu lost to the Japanese star Fu 0:2. Yuki Shima/Ayaka Hirota. (Ding Wenxian, Wang Haoming, Zhao Ziyu)
