On June 10, Beijing time, the BWF World Tour Indonesia Masters launched a women's singles quarterfinal competition, and Chen Yufei successfully won the promotion. In the clash with Thai player Ambom Lumpan, Chen Yufei firmly took the initiative, and she won 2-0 to reach the semi-finals.
The Indonesia Masters is a super 500 event, and Guoyu sent a full-fledged squad this time, with Chen Yufei, Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan, Wang Yilu/Huang Dongping, Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong and other famous players participating. Kuniwa hopes to achieve better results in this event and thus get more world ranking points.
In the women's singles match, Guoyu sent Chen Yufei, He Bingjiao, Han Yue and other players to participate this time, and finally three of them broke into the quarterfinals. He Bingjiao took the lead in the quarterfinals, and she successfully won to reach the semifinals. Chen Yufei met Thailand's Ambom Lumpan in the quarter-finals, and the two have met 10 times in the World Badminton League before, Chen Yufei has an 8-2 advantage, and she has won 6 consecutive times.
Chen Yufei is the number one seed of this tournament, and she is also the biggest favorite to win the tournament. After Ma Lin chose to retire early and An Xianying stopped in the second round, Chen Yufei's hopes for winning the championship became even greater. Since Chen Yufei and He Bingjiao are in the same half this time, if she wins in the quarter-finals, the two Chinese women's singles masters will stage a derby in the semifinals.
Although she won the women's singles gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics last year, Chen Yufei's performance after this year was average, and this year's strong performance in the World Badminton League did not reproduce the strong performance of the Olympic Games. For Chen Yufei, what she needs most is to improve her own strength and have a more stable performance on the field, so that she can hope to become a sister in the badminton world. In this competition, Chen Yufei's two major competitors, Akane Yamaguchi and Dai Ziying, did not participate, which is a good opportunity for Chen Yufei to attack the championship, but she still needs to have a better performance against famous players such as He Bingjiao, Xindu and Indanong.
After the start of the game, Chen Yufei entered the state faster, and after 4 draws and 6 draws, she scored consecutive points to open the lead. As Ambumlempan tried to counterattack, Chen Yufei quickly returned the attack to stabilize the situation, and after 11-9 she seized the opportunity to score five consecutive points, and the gap between the two sides was further widened. In the following matches, Ambom Lumpan tried to counterattack, but Chen Yufei controlled the game, and she maintained the lead to take the lead 21-11.
Chen Yufei took advantage of the second set to chase and quickly led 5-2. Ambom Lumpan recovered 2 points, and Chen Yufei quickly hit back 3 points to pull away again. In the next game, the two attacked and defended each other, the score alternately increased, Chen Yufei completely controlled the situation, did not give the opponent any chance to counterattack, 21-15, she won another set to win 2-0 to advance.
In the semi-finals, Chen Yufei will play in the same room with He Bingjiao.
