Marlene: The knee injury sometimes takes a toll on my psyche, and it's been a tough fight in the past few stops.
Spanish star Ma Lin won the first match of the BWF Badminton World Tour year-end finals yesterday, 21:18, 21:10, and swept the Chinese-American female player Zhang Beiwen in only 35 minutes, and today won Han Yue to win 2 consecutive group stage victories, but the former queen admitted that his current form is only about 50%.
Ma Lin, who has three world championships and one Olympic gold medal, has never been in the year-end tournament in her career, but she has returned to the field after two knee injuries, and she does not have much hope of winning the championship, "I haven't won the year-end championship yet, but I have to accept that my current form is not 100%, and I can even say that I am still far from 100%. That's where I'm at the moment, I have to be more focused on every shot, and I want to enjoy the game and keep improving. ”

According to the official website of "BWF", Ma Lin, who gave the above response, is very different from her in August this year, vowing to win her fourth crown at the World Championships.
However, when she came to Hangzhou, Ma Lin admitted that her physical condition could not be compared with the World Championships, "I am far from 100% now, maybe only 50%, and it was close to 100% at the World Championships, but the knee injury sometimes affects my psychology, and I have played hard in the past few stops." ”
"It's very difficult to come back from two serious knee injuries and the second one (torn cruciate ligament in my left knee) is tougher than the first, but that's where I am now and I want to keep going. Winning the championship is of course motivation, but I don't want to just want to win, I want to keep improving and focus on myself. ”
