The men’s singles competition almost suffered another upset. The second seed Kodai Naraoka and the fourth seed Kunlavut both reversed their opponents after losing a game first.
my country’s number one badminton women’s single Yang Jiamin passed two levels in the Thailand Badminton Open (Super 500) and advanced to the women’s singles quarterfinals. On Friday (May 17), she will challenge China’s second seed Wang Zhiyi.
In the first round of the match that ended at around 10pm local time on Wednesday (15th), Yang Jiamin defeated South Korean player Kim Jialan (ranked 77th in the world) 21-13, 21-16, and won at around 4pm the next day. He came on stage and faced off against Taiwanese player Qiu Pinqian (ranked 50th in the world).
Jin Jialan and Qiu Pinqian were both players that Yang Jiamin met for the first time. However, Yang Jiamin was obviously more skilled and defeated Qiu Pinqian 21-14 in two straight games. As the seventh seed of the tournament, Yang Jiamin was able to handle the two games with ease and got a big lead in both games. On the other hand, Qiu Pinxi made a lot of mistakes and often looked frustrated when the ball went out of bounds or missed the net. Yang Jiamin won in 36 minutes.
She told Lianhe Zaobao after the game that although she came on the stage late the night before, she still had enough rest. After entering the quarterfinals against Wang Zhiyi, she will try to fight a fast break while remaining patient. She also told SPOTV that Wang Zhiyi has strong hitting ability and can run well, so she must be prepared to run more on the court.
Yang Jiamin previously played against Wang Zhiyi, ranked eighth in the world, and lost all four games. Wang Zhiyi defeated Belgian player Tan Lianni 21-12, 21-9 in another round of 16 match.
Naraoka Kodai and Kunlavut narrowly defeated
In terms of other Thailand Open results, following the elimination of Chinese men’s singles Luo Jianyou and Denmark’s top men’s singles seed Antonsen, the men’s singles field almost continued to experience unexpected results. Kodai Naraoka (Japan), ranked fifth in the world, saved three match points in the deciding game and won five points in a row. In the end, he narrowly defeated Hong Kong player Wu Yinglun, ranked 96th in the world, 11-21, 21-15, 22-20. .
Thailand’s fourth seed and world champion Kunlawutt also experienced danger and defeated Malaysia’s Liang Junhao 20-22, 21-14, 23-21. However, his compatriot, the women’s singles fourth seed Ratchanok, who is also a former world championship champion, lost to China’s Gao Fangjie 18-21, 21-19, 14-21.
Taiwan’s Wang Ziwei, who recently defeated my country’s men’s singles Luo Jianyou, lost to his teammate Li Jiahao in the civil war. The scores were 21-18, 17-21, 18-21. In another men’s singles match in Taiwan, eighth seed Zhou Tiancheng defeated Qi Youren 21-13, 21-16. Malaysia’s sixth seed Lee Zi Jia defeated South Korea’s Quan Yi Chen 22-20, 21-7.
In men’s doubles, South Korea’s veteran “double gold” combination Kim Ki-jung (33 years old)/Kim Sa-rang (34 years old) competed again after last August. This team, which won the bronze medal at the World Championships in 2013 and 2014, staged a great show of slaying the dragon, defeating the second seed Fikri/Maulana of Indonesia 22-20, 21-13. However, another Indonesian veteran “dad combination”, the fifth seeds Ahsan (36 years old)/Hendra (39 years old) unexpectedly lost to Taiwan’s Jiang Jianwei/Wu Xuanyi 15-21, 16-21, and missed the opportunity to compete with the “double team”. Gold” played against each other in the quarterfinals.
