Due to its outstanding strength, IELTS combination inevitably becomes the focus of judges in the mixed doubles competition. In the tiebreaker match between India and France, IELTS was again controversially awarded, and the 15th point was cancelled by the referee and had to be replayed, because Zhang Jun outside the field began to celebrate before the ball landed. As a result, IELTS then roared 7-1 and quickly ended the match.
The Indian Open Mixed Doubles Round of 8 is a highlight match between IELTS pair Zheng Siwei / Huang Yaqiong and French pair Guiguer / Del Ruy. Currently ranked in the world, 1st in IELTS and 5th in the French combination. However, although the difference between the two pairs in the ranking is not large, the results of the past meeting can be called one-sided, and IELTS has won all 5 games, which is absolutely superior.
In the first game, IELTS entered the form slowly, and the score remained behind in the first half of the game, going into the break at 8-11. After the break, IELTS was unable to recover despite his efforts to chase points, and eventually lost a game 14-21. In the second game, IELTS learned the lesson of the first game, clenched the score after the start of the match, and then suddenly exerted its strength to open the gap and lead 11-8 into the break. After the break, IELTS broke free from his opponent's entanglement and won 21-15, dragging the match into a tiebreaker.
In the third game, IELTS started with a 5-0 lead and then led 11-8 into the break. After switching sides, IELTS maintained its lead, rewriting the score to 14-11. Just when we thought IELTS would reverse smoothly, there was an episode. Zheng Siwei closed the net in front, and the opponent returned the ball out of bounds. As a result, Zhang Jun, who was sitting outside the court, shouted "yeah" in celebration before the ball hit the ground. It was Zhang Jun's bizarre maneuver that caught the referee (considered to interfere with the game), who used this as a reason to award this point to a heavy hit. Of course, IELTS was not convinced, and then appealed to the referee, but was refused. Zhang Jun was obviously not convinced, and was excited to protest with the referee, but was also rejected.
A point that could have been won was canceled for inexplicable reasons, and no one could accept it, and IELTS was no exception. So in the next game, IELTS rarely broke out, and suddenly the pace of the game was very fast, and the result was a wave of 7-1, quickly ending the suspense of the game, and completing the big reversal with a 21-12 and a big score of 2-1.
I have to say that Zhang Jun helped again this time. Luckily, IELTS is still superior to its opponents, so you can still win the match with your strength advantage. However, as Guoyu's off-field coach, can Zhang Jun learn a lesson in the future and stop similar "god operations"?
