On April 7, the 2022 Korea Open ushered in the second round of competition, and Guoyu encountered a new challenge: Huang Yaqiong / Ou Xuanyi made his debut, and Weng Hongyang steadily advanced to the quarterfinals.
Huang Yaqiong and Ou Xuanyi, who directly advanced to the round of sixteen due to their opponent's withdrawal, ushered in the first match of this year's Korea Open. Against India's Sumit/Poonnapa, the two didn't play easily. In the opening stage has been in a passive, the opponent's smooth coordination and effective attack to make the two people a little caught off guard, and they could not find effective scoring means for a long time.
But the more experienced Huang Yaqiong changed tactics at key moments, seized the impatient mentality of the opponent, and constantly narrowed the score gap and leveled it, winning the first set 22-20. In the second set, the Indian players still maintained a good momentum, pulling the score to 1-1. In the decider stage, Huang Yaqiong / Ou Xuanyi two people more daring to play, more tacit cooperation, all the way to the lead, and finally won the first victory of the Korean Open with a large score of 2-1.
Huang Yaqiong/Ou Xuanyi, who directly advanced to the round of 16, are the only mixed doubles players in the Korean Open, and when facing a stable Indian combination, Huang Yaqiong/Ou Xuanyi can use the competition to find problems and solve problems. The slow heat of the opening, the outbreak of the middle section, the tacit understanding of the decider, the two people through the game continue to challenge, try to improve. As a new combination of national feathers in the new season, Huang Yaqiong / Ou Xuanyi need more game run-in play to improve the ranking, and hope that the two people can continue to cheer!
In the men's singles, young player Weng Hongyang continued to play a triumphant song. Facing Malaysia's Zhan Junwei, Weng Hongyang fought hard for three sets to win tenaciously. At the beginning of the game, Weng Hongyang, who was in better shape, tore through the opponent's defense with an attack, and in the second half of the first set, the score was continuously widened, and won 21-14.
In the second set, Weng Hongyang played a little impatiently after the lead was equalized, the number of mistakes increased, and his physical fitness also decreased slightly, while the Malaysian player played steadily and equalized the score. In the decider stage, Weng Hongyang adjusted his state, always maintained the lead after equalizing the score, and finally defeated Zhan Junwei 21-14, 17-21, 21-17 to advance to the quarterfinals of the Korea Open!
In this Korea Open, Weng Hongyang is not afraid of challenges in the face of strong enemies, whether it is against Heo Youxi or Zhan Junwei, he can maintain a high morale and never give up spirit. Behind the strong mentality is Weng Hongyang's daily efforts and persistence. He will continue to overcome obstacles and make a push towards the championship!
In the women's singles, Chen Yufei lost to South Korea's Kim Jae-eun in two sets. In the game, Chen Yufei entered the state slowly, and the opponent made Chen Yufei always in passivity through repeated transfers, although he also played some small climaxes in scoring, but he never adjusted to the best state, regrettably lost. A defeat is not terrible, I hope Yufei can rest and adjust, summarize the problem, and continue to refuel!
