The 2021 Total Energy BWF World Championships began the fifth day of competition, and the women's singles defending champion Sindhu defeated one of the most tenacious opponents, Li Miao, to advance to the quarterfinals.
In the first two matches with Lee Wonderful, Sindu was completely defeated. Today, however, the Indian looked very aggressive and she ended the game with a score of 21-14 21-18.
Next she will play against her familiar opponent Dai Ziying, who defeated Dai Ziying in the same stage of the last World Championship. Earlier this year, Dai took revenge in the semi-finals of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and she hopes to continue to make breakthroughs at the World Championships.
"This game is important to me because I lost to her two times before," Sindu said. "I had to concentrate from the start. Tomorrow will be against Dai Ziying, I will do my best because it will be difficult. People keep telling me I'm doing well in the World Series, so I think it's a positive thing. Dai Ziying is a good player and her skills are very good, so it is not easy. Sometimes you can't predict her shots, but you have to make sure you're always in shape and you have to be patient. ”
In the third round against Gilmour, Dai Ziying's form was not stable, but she controlled herself in time to avoid any accidents with a score of 21-10 19-21 21-11. The top seeded player had some magical moments she was used to, but the second game went wrong.
Gilmour said: "Against Dai Ziying, you have to give it your all, she plays high risk, high reward, so you can't really be safe, because she makes you pay for it. I managed to execute the tactics I had discussed with the coach, so I pushed her to that point.
Although Olympic champion Chen Yufei was absent due to injury, the Chinese women's singles still sang triumphant songs at this World Championships, and several young players had brilliant performances. Han Yue defeated the canadian star Lee Wen-shan, who has never been defeated before, and advanced to the quarterfinals of the World Championships for the first time, He Bingjiao defeated Mia of Denmark, and Zhang Yiman defeated South Korean player Kim Jia-eun to break into the quarterfinals. And the young general Wang Zhiyi fought hard for three innings, and finally lost the Korean genius girl An Xianying, who was more experienced, which is also commendable.
The 2021 Badminton World Championships will kick off the quarterfinals at 5:00 p.m. Beijing time today.
