On April 16, Beijing time, the Korean Masters continued, the women's singles semifinals China's national badminton players won a big victory, He Bingjiao defeated South Korea's An Xianying and Chen Yufei 2-1 to defeat Wang Zhiyi, and the two joined hands to reach the women's singles final. This means that the national women's singles won the women's singles championship and runner-up of this Korea Masters.
In the women's singles semifinals, there are some details that are controversial, He Bingjiao swept the match that defeated An Xianying 2-0, and when the second set of the tournament was played to 8-7, An Xianying returned the ball out of bounds, this ball is considered to be out of bounds whether it is the referee or He Bingjiao, and even the live live camera look back can clearly confirm the out of bounds. But the point of controversy appeared at this time, An Xianying used the Hawkeye Challenge Technique, and what was shown was actually within the boundary, which was surprising, and He Bingjiao, who saw this result, also smiled bitterly.
Fortunately, in the end, He Bingjiao won the game and advanced, otherwise this time the outrageous judgment of Hawkeye would cause greater controversy. The tournament was held in South Korea, and An Xianying was one of the host players, so it was not surprising that there was such an obvious "cheating" behavior, and He Bingjiao's reaction was also helpless. Fortunately, in the end, He Bingjiao won the pass, and the controversy was not mentioned and discussed more.
The concept of competition in Korean sports is not recognized, which is well known to the outside world, and the most typical case is the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, when the world's top teams, including Portugal and Italy, suffered great unfairness. After 20 years, the competitive concept of Korean sports is still full of controversy! Almost all athletes in the world of sports need special attention when dealing with Korean athletes, leaving a deep bad impression on the outside world.
Turning their attention back to this Korean Masters, Guoyu Chen Yufei and He Bingjiao locked in the women's singles championship and runner-up in advance, which is an early completion of the task. Compared with the national feather in the men's singles competition in advance of the total annihilation, the women's singles players at this stage are still very competitive, Chen Yufei and He Bingjiao are all at the level of the world's top players. Among them, Chen Yufei is also the women's singles champion of the Xinke Olympic Games.
Of course, since entering 2022, Chen Yufei's state has not been good, after the women's singles final of the 2022 BWF Tour German Open, Chen Yufei lost to He Bingjiao and won the runner-up. To this end, this Korean Masters Chen Yufei ushered in a good opportunity to "revenge" He Bingjiao, and at the same time, she can also strive for the opportunity to prove her strength as a new Olympic champion again! At this stage, China's national feathers are in an absolute downturn, the competitiveness of each project is declining, and there is no longer the dominance of the former king level, so it can be seen that the national feather women's singles still remain competitive is a fortunate thing for fans, I hope that Chen Yufei and He Bingjiao can continue to play well!
