my country’s second-ranked men’s and women’s singles first World Championships lost
In another men’s singles match, Zheng Jiaheng, the second-ranked men’s singles in my country, lost 1-2 to Chinese good player Lu Guangzu. Zheng Jiaheng, who celebrated his 25th birthday on the day of the game, won 21-16 in the first game and led 20-19 in the second game, but unfortunately missed the match point and was won back by Lu Guangzu 20-22.
In the final game, the two tied at 13 times. After Lu Guangzu scored two points in a row, Zheng Jiaheng was suspected to have received a yellow card due to a fall, so his opponent was given one point. The situation of the game then took a sharp turn, and Zheng Jiaheng lost points continuously and finally lost 14-21, with the total score being reversed 1-2.
After the game, Zheng Jiaheng thought he shouldn’t be fined. “The referee said I lost my temper. I don’t think that should be punished, it was the referee’s wrong decision… I feel like I’ve made some small progress, but it’s certainly not enough. I still need to be more stable to surpass the top opponents.”
Chen Jiaxing, the Singapore Badminton Federation Business Development and Vice President of Communications, also believes that Zheng Jiaheng should not be fined for yellow cards: “Any professional badminton player knows that a yellow card will not cause the opponent to get one point. Only a red card will cause such a result. The red card will be fined when the player continues or seriously violates the code of conduct.”
my country’s head coach Jin Zhixuan, believes that when he led the second game, Zheng Jiaheng “thinked too much”, but was overtaken by Lu Guangzu and lost the game. Zheng Jiaheng failed to recover his form in the third game and eventually lost.
