In the final of the Uber Cup badminton team competition on the 16th, the Chinese team won three consecutive games in the case of losing one point first, defeating the Japanese team 3:1 and lifting the Uber Cup for the 15th time.

Tokyo Olympic champion Chen Yufei lost to the world's fifth-ranked old rival again after losing to Akane Yamaguchi in the previous Sudirman Cup final, with the scores of 18:21 and 10:21 in two sets.

'The two losses are very similar, I didn't have a very good way, I was more passive, I wanted to change, but I didn't have enough energy, my body reacted slowly, and I didn't score the first points. Chen Yufei said, "After the Olympic Games, I have been fighting continuously, although I have only played one game in the Uber Cup, but it feels difficult to recover quickly in energy. ”

The "one pair" duo Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan and Yuki Fukushima/Mayu Matsumoto were extremely fierce, and the first match was won by the Chinese duo at 29:27 in the 46 minutes, with the two sides playing a long round of 54 beats. Japan then pulled back a set at 21:15.

In the decider, the Chinese team at 20:17 match point, Chen Qingchen was blistered due to the soles of the foot of the saver, and after a simple treatment, the injury ended the game at 21:18, and the Chinese team pulled the total score to 1:1. 1 hour and 57 minutes set a record for the longest single game since Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan were paired.

"We were determined to win back the score, and it was completely different whether we were 1:1 or 0:2. We played tenaciously. Early in the morning, tell me, let's go out and fight to the top. Jia Yifan said after the game, "No matter 100 minutes, 200 minutes, as long as we are on the field, we will not give up every ball." ”

"We tried our best and gritted our teeth in the first set to grab back consecutive innings. The trophy on the field is so tempting, and I want to pick it up with my teammates, which is a belief I have always held. Chen Qingchen said.

He Bingjiao, as the second singles player, lost two straight sets at 21:9 and 21:18 to defeat Sasuke Takahashi to win the score for the Chinese team.

"I was in better shape than the last and the last game released all my emotions." He Bingjiao said, "The coach told me that I must believe that I am the best 'second single' in the world, and I feel that I am the happiest 'second single' in the world, and I have teammates who go all out before and after." ”

The temporary combination of Huang Dongping and Li Wenmei narrowly defeated Matsutomo Misaki /Naae Matsuyama in the fourth match to win one point for the Chinese team.

Li Wenmei, who participated in the Uber Cup competition for the first time, said: "In the first set, we kept the lead, and the key points were also decisive. Although the second set was behind, the other side got the match point first, (we) were not nervous, some forgetfulness, and the good balls that could not be played usually appeared. ”

Huang Dongping, who won three Olympic Games, Sudirman Cup and Uber Cup in succession, could not hide his excitement after the game: "Every champion is not easy to come by, which proves that we have trained well during the epidemic. I haven't played women's doubles for a long time, some of the playing styles and running positions are a bit unfamiliar, but we believe in each other and will not disappoint our partners. ”
