The Tokyo Badminton World Championships came to an end. Although in the final 1:2 defeat to the world's number one Akane Yamaguchi, but for Chen Yufei, who has stopped in the semi-finals, the runner-up is already a breakthrough, this "big heart" Chinese girl, has become the undoubted Chinese female single sister, she will become the next Zhang Ning of the Chinese badminton team.
Big heart is already Chen Yufei's label. Especially after defeating Dai Ziying in the final of the Tokyo Olympic Women's Singles Final, her tenacity has been greatly improved, which also makes her always able to become a winner at the key moments of the competition, her psychological construction and mental strength are indeed exceptionally strong, and in the face of some difficulties and hard battles, she can often achieve a reversal of the opponent. Her technical movements determine that she is not as masculine as Sindu, and can cover the whole game with domineering. She is more of a pull-and-hoist combined assault style of play, the biggest feature is good defense, active running, less active mistakes.
After reaching the semi-finals, Chen Yufei pinned his hopes on Chinese fans. After all, the Chinese team has not won the World Championship for 11 years. The last time a Chinese team reached the women's singles final of the World Championships was Li Xuerui at the 2014 World Championships in Copenhagen, and the last time the Chinese team won the Women's Singles Championship at the World Championships, it was back in 2011, at the World Championships in London, Shanghai girl Wang Yihan won the championship. If you can defeat Akane Yamaguchi to win the championship, it will not only help the Chinese team to win the World Championship again, but also realize the dream of a personal Grand Slam. Now Chen Yufei has won four championships in the Olympic Games, the World Cup, the Uber Cup and the Sudirman Cup, and is only one world championship women's singles champion away from the Grand Slam.
In the end, facing Akane Yamaguchi, who played at home, Chen Yufei failed to achieve a good reversal again, but this time she was good enough compared to the previous ones who were often swept by opponents. Moreover, at present, her attack is much better than before, and her defense is more stable, and if she controls her own active mistakes, she may have a better result. Looking forward to the 2024 Olympic Games, Chen Yufei was only 26 years old at that time, and she was also the peak age of an athlete, hoping that she could continue to improve herself, successfully defend her Olympic title, and become the second Zhang Ning of the Chinese badminton team!
