The semifinals of the Badminton World Championships ended in progress in Paris for all the specialties involved in the world championship. With the absence of representatives of France, all released in the previous rounds, we focused on the many international stars. And on the fact that the finals will be Asian traction. Indeed, at 50% Chinese.
In particular, in male singular Shi Yuqi is likely to be surprised by the Canadian surprise Victor Lai, but manages to erase two matches points and reassemble to go and challenge the Thai Kunlavut Viditsarn in the final. Hunt for the first gold for Chinese, per second for his opponent.
In the female singular It is Chen Yufei who earns the last act by beating the South Korean an Se-Young in two partials: the challenge will be the Japanese Akane Yamaguchi. The Japanese was twice world championship, the Chinese has never won while taking four podiums.
In the male double The South Korean duo Kim/SEO will challenge the Chinese Chen/Liu, and above all SEO is the most interested in replenishing the palmares considering that it can do the encore of 2023. In dual female They will be the first two pairs of seeding, Liu/Tan for China and Tan/Muralitharan for Malaysia, and here there will be a first time in any case. Still Malaysia-China in mixed: on the one hand Jie/Wei, on the other Jiang/Wei. Here too a first certain gold pair.
