On the evening of December 17, the 2023 BWF World Tour Finals ended in Hangzhou, and the Chinese badminton team performed well, winning the women's doubles and mixed doubles championships and the runner-up in men's singles, men's doubles and mixed doubles.
In the most watched men's singles final, Shi Yuqi lost to Axelsen 11-21, 12-21, and he still looked a little lost after the game, but being able to defeat the world No. 1 Axelsen in the group stage still added confidence to the Chinese men's singles player at the Paris Olympics. Shi Yuqi said: "After winning Axelsen last time, he will definitely be more prepared for this final, and I think I am also ready, but maybe he played better overall today." We are all preparing for the Olympic stage, so don't think too much, the Olympic points are still very important, and getting the Olympic tickets is the most important thing now. "The men's singles final was preceded by four other finals at the BWF Tour Finals. In the mixed doubles final, China's Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong defeated teammates Feng Yanzhe/Huang Dongping 2-0, and in the second game of the game, the IELTS pair once fell behind by 6 points, but finally won the reversal. After the game, Huang Yaqiong said that they played more patiently, "We may have to think more about tactics because we are all too familiar with each other, and we usually train together, so we have to be more patient." ”
In this way, Zheng Siwei became the first five-time mixed doubles champion in the history of the BWF Finals, and Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong are also the mixed doubles pair with the most championships in the finals. The golden pair are just one Olympic gold medal away from the pair, and the IELTS pair said: "The finals are also a big event for us in the Olympic points race, so we have been working hard for the points. We will definitely give it our all and release ourselves on the Olympic stage, with no regrets and enjoy the process. In the women's doubles final, Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan defeated the Korean pair Lee So-hee/Baek Ha-na 2-0 to win the women's doubles championship in the final for the fourth time. After the game, Jia Yifan has been thanking Chen Qingchen for his efforts and changes this year, "I want to thank my partner for her dedication, I think she has obvious ups and downs in her mood and body throughout the year, but every time she faces a problem, Qingchen can adjust her state in the fastest time, which is also a performance of maturity and a very responsible performance." Because she said before that she is a more self-conscious person, but in the career we are cooperating projects, so she really sacrificed a lot of her own things to become a better morning. ”
In addition, in the men's doubles final, Leung Wei Hang/Wang Chang lost 0-2 to the Korean pair Seo Seung Jae/Kang Min Hyuk and won the runner-up. The women's singles title was won by Tai Tzu Ying of Chinese Taipei.
