It's dark to the end! The national feather youngsters created a big upset, the men's doubles raised their eyebrows, and the mixed doubles and women's doubles were in charge
The semi-finals of the French Open Badminton Championships have all been produced. Although in the previous competitions, the first sister of the national feather women's doubles, the first brother of the men's doubles and the world number one of the mixed doubles were all eliminated, but the performance of the young players gave us hope, they created two major upsets in the end, and also made the men's doubles raise their eyebrows and defend the dignity of the women's doubles.
In Denmark, the men's doubles team suffered Waterloo, with four of the five pairs participating in the tournament suffering a first-round trip. After the move to France, the Men's Doubles showed a very different side, especially the new pair of Ho Ji Ting/Ren Xiang Woo, who beat the new world champions Kang Min-hyuk/Seo Seung-jae of South Korea to advance to the semi-finals.
In this battle, He Jiting/Ren Xiangyu won two games in a row after losing one game first, and won 16-21/21-7/21-19. In the third game, Guoyu completed the reversal from 12-17 behind. Judging from the style of play, both of them are born in the front court, with fast speed and many lines, and once they grab the position, it is very easy to form a double pressure in the midfield, which has an obvious restraint effect on the Korean combination.
China's Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi, the tournament's eighth seeds, defeated Indonesian veterans Ahsan/Hendra 21-12, 21-16. In this game, there was a problem with the physical fitness of the Indonesian team, which did not put pressure on Liu Ou, on the other hand, Liu Ou fully exerted his advantages in attacking, but during the game, Ou Xuanyi's transition and coherent mistakes were still a lot.
Like the men's doubles upset, the women's doubles Liu Shengshu/Tan Ning also started the upset mode, they lost the first game 9-21, won two games in a row, and defeated Japan's Naomi Matsuyama/Chiyo Shida 9-21/21-16/21-19 to defend the dignity of the national feather women's doubles. Liu Shengshu/Tan Ning gave full play to their offensive advantages in the last two games and suppressed the Japanese team. In the next round, Liu Shengshu/Tan Ning played against the Shuangla combination.
Although Mixed Doubles world No.1s Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong lost 21-23, 21-13 to Korea's Kim Won-ho/Jung Na Eun, teenagers Jiang Zhenbang/Wei Yaxin put in a strong performance to beat Indonesia's Kushalyanto/Kusumawati 24-22, 21-10 to advance to the semi-finals and retain their hopes of winning the mixed doubles gold medal against Kim Won-ho/Jung Na Eun in the next round to avenge their brother and sister.
Elsewhere, Li Shifeng defeated Indonesia's Ginting 21-15, 21-13 to face Huang Zhiyong for the final, who was guaranteed a place in the semi-finals thanks to Kunlavut's retirement. Shi Yuqi lost 17-21, 19-21 to Singapore's Loh Kean Yew; Chen Yufei defeated Han Yue 18-21, 21-17, 21-7, and He Bingjiao defeated Thailand's Li Mei Miao 24-22, 21-16 to meet in the semi-finals.
