In the early morning of October 4, the second round of badminton competitions of the Asian Games was over, and all the top 16 were released. Defending men's singles champion Jonatan and men's singles world champion Luo Jianyou were knocked out and missed the round of 16. The Chinese team performed strongly, winning all of them to advance to the round of 16.
The signing table of this Asian Games, which is somewhat incomprehensible, is not completely determined according to the world rankings, and all of them have caused many top players to meet in the first two rounds. The overall performance of the second round was a lot of unpopular, especially in the men's singles.
Currently ranked No. 5 in the world, Jonatan was the champion of the last Asian Games and the No. 8 seed in this Asian Games, and he is still the favorite to win this tournament. In the second round, his opponent was Zhou Tiancheng. Zhou Tiancheng is currently ranked 13th in the world, and has been ranked second for a long time, and is a very strong player.
In today's game, Jonatan played more conservatively at the end of the game and did not attack much. On the contrary, Zhou Tiancheng played very actively and attacked strongly when he had the opportunity. In the end, Jonatan lost two 17-21 and was out of the round of 16.
World champion Luo Jianyou is currently ranked No. 9 in the world and his speed and attack are superb. In the second round, his opponent was giant killer Huang Zhiyong. Huang Zhiyong is currently ranked 19th in the world, but he regularly beats the world's top 5 players.
In this game, Huang Zhiyong once again showed the true colors of the giant killer, in front of Luo Jianyou, who is known for his speed, he used the backcourt crane to crack the opponent's advantage very well, and in terms of attack and tennis, he did the ultimate, completely suppressing Luo Jianyou. In the end, Huang Zhiyong easily defeated his opponent 21-12, 21-14 and advanced to the round of 16.
In terms of the Chinese team, today it has won five consecutive victories, and all members of the Chinese team have advanced to the round of 16. In the men's singles, Li Shifeng was weaker and won easily 2-0. Shi Yuqi's opponent is Lee Cheuk-yiu of Hong Kong, China, who has met 8 times, winning 4 games each. In today's game, Shi Yuqi was well prepared, although he fought for 3 games, his fitness did not decline significantly in the third game, and he mastered the initiative and won 2-1, ending a three-game losing streak at the Asian Games.
In the women's singles, Chen Yufei sent the opponent points and defeated the opponent 21-1 with two and easily advanced. He Bingjiao ran into trouble, facing Japan's Renping Nanayue, she passed 2-1. In the women's doubles, Zheng Yu/Zhang Shuxian had a weaker opponent, and they won easily 2-0 and successfully advanced.
On the Chinese side, all 10 groups advanced to the third round. On the South Korean side, the men's singles were completely wiped out, and 8 groups of players advanced to the third round. Japan and Indonesia have both suffered. In the third round of the competition, the war between China and South Korea and the war between China and Japan will be staged, and I look forward to Guoyu playing well and bringing continuous surprises.
