Luo Jianyou: Starting from zero

During his week in Huelva, Luo Jianyou underwent a drastic change.

Last month he made history for Singapore as ST Men's Singles World Champion. Now he's on the field of the 2022 India Open, and all eyes are on him.

In the first game after becoming the new world champion, Luo Jianyou seemed to be a little slow and hot.

In the first set, Canadian player Sheng Xiaodong unexpectedly won, and the next two sets Luo Jianyou began to accelerate, and finally he won with a 16-21 21-4 21-13 score reversal.

"It's a new beginning and I'm trying to start from scratch. I started a bit slowly and he kept my rhythm in check. In the next two innings, I tried to speed up the tempo to solve the problem, and it really worked. ”

After winning the World Championships, Luo Jianyou returned to Singapore to participate in many celebrations, and he admitted that he did not have much time to "recharge".

'I haven't had a break, I've been busy and hopefully the next game will be better than today.'

He also realized that when he stepped onto the pitch now, everything was different. With that comes more expectations and pressures.

"I've always been a shocker and it was my first time playing as a competitor. I need to learn to play in high-profile situations and I will try to adapt. It's a new beginning for me and I'm doing my best to live with the pressure. ”

"I'm going to do my best to be ready, no one can always be at the top and no one can always win."

Luo Jianyou believed that Acetron had provided him with key advice, and he let him speed up the pace of his footwork. He will continue to train with Olympic champion Acelon in Dubai to prepare for the busy season ahead.

"I will be training with Acelon again. 2022 is a busy year with lots of important events and tours. I feel like it's going to be one step at a time, and the Indian Open is the first step. Step by step, we will see the future development. ”

Are you now comfortable with being a world champion?

"I already want to forget about it. I wanted to start from scratch and start all over again. ”
