On January 19, Beijing time, the 2023 Indian Open SUPER750 continued, and the national badminton men's doubles were mixed today. Not a bad fight, but a little unjustly lost, Ren Xiangyu/Tan Qiang suffered a reversal 1-2, the tiebreaker was led 13-9 by Gideon/Sukamuyo to take the match point 19-20, and after regaining the match point, two consecutive serve extensions were pushed by Sukamuyo with the same line at the back, Tan Qiang, who stood at the back, almost motionless, did not predict, and watched the match point slip away, losing 21-23. Instructor Chen Qiyu on the sidelines was just clapping and shouting cheers, and in an instant, his face suddenly changed, his brows were locked, and he was serious.
Happily, Liu Yuchen/Ou Weiyi received a big gift, the opponent is the Indian pair Ranjireddy/Shetty, who eliminated them last week, Liu Yuchen even "I'm going to see you soon, brother" on the extranet, but did not expect to surrender without a fight, the latter directly withdrew from the competition.

Shi Yuqi VS Anselon
Last week, Ginting expressed the opinion of "newspaper group slaying the dragon" in an interview, but no one could give enough pressure in the last stop, and only former world number one Srikanth briefly suppressed it in the second game. Is this difficult task going to fall to Shi Yuqi?
[World No. 1 VS 33rd, the two sides have met seven times, Axelon won 6, most recently in the 2021 Sudirman Cup 1/4 final, Axelon won 21-17, 21-14 and ushered in six consecutive wins since the two sides met]
In the first game, the opening game was tied three times to 5-4, and Axelon played a wave of 9-1 offensive waves to overtake and maintain the advantage until the end, Shi Yuqi lost 16-21. In the second game, Shi Yuqi played a 7-0 attack wave after falling behind 8-11 (returning from a break) to overtake and maintain the advantage until the end, 21-16 to win back Yicheng. In the tiebreaker, only to start with a 1-0 lead, Arcelon scored three consecutive points to overtake and maintain the advantage until the end. At the end of the game, he scored 6 points in a row to take away the game, and Shi Yuqi lost 9-21.
Axelon 2-1 refused to reverse, attack and defense are flawless, it seems that the "road to dragon slaying" is still very long! Of course, Shi Yuqi's performance was impeccable, although he was defeated, Anselon also celebrated angrily after the game, which shows that he is not easy, and he even sent a thumbs up during the game to praise Shi Yuqi's return ball. (The following is the review of this game, after all, it is a highly anticipated game)
Comment——
In the first game, in front of the net, Anselon was already more passive. A chase made An Ceron helpless, and An Ceron also expressed his approval and greeted Shi Yuqi across the net, giving a thumbs up. If you look back at the game, you will find that Shi Yuqi killed more balls than Anselon in the first game, and Anselon fell to the ground to save more balls than Shi Yuqi, and they were all good at killing in the forehand area above the head, but they were too pursuing the line and landing point, and mistakes were inevitable. [Once the challenge failed, the landing point was actually a millimeter from the pressure line, and then he killed the ball again, a little bit in the boundary, this kind of ball Anselong fell to the ground]
During the game, An Xelon also exchanged opinions with Sun Jun non-stop, and almost didn't even drink water, which shows how much Shi Yuqi attaches importance to this game, and from the performance on the field, Shi Yuqi's tactical execution is very resolute, not a simple pull. Instead, by holding each other in front of the net, pushing the backcourt, and changing the serve to get a better chance of killing, the purpose is to play their best ability.
In the second game, Shi Yuqi still played concise and not simple, switching the big angle after killing, and continued to grab the landing point, but Anselon's defensive coverage is too large, on this basis, Shi Yuqi can also improve the Internet speed is good, and you can catch a better return route, after all, Anselon's return ball is relatively ahead. After returning from the break, Shi Yuqi did not increase the speed of the Internet, but strengthened the opportunity to directly kill the ball with the extension to get a second attack, which was very physically exhausting, but the effect was very good, playing a wave of 7-0. At the same time, the ball in front of the net is more delicate, and almost all of them are pasted by the net.
In the tiebreaker, fitness is the winner.
