Since this game is Shi Yuqi's debut in the Malaysia Open, so as soon as he came up, he did not find the state for the first time, the quality of the return ball in the opening stage was not high, so that the physical Gemke played a very high-quality assault, and took a 3-0 lead as soon as he came up, although Shi Yuqi quickly chased 3 points with his signature overhead kill, so that the two sides returned to the same running line, but the sudden power outage made Gemke blast out another wave of 5-0, and once again took an 8-3 lead, although Shi Yuqi did not give up chasing points, but he could not hold back Gemke, who was in shape, and let the latter lead with 11-7, entered the technical timeout of the first game.
After the pause, Shi Yuqi began to patiently pull the opponent on the court, in the rapid large-scale movement, Gemke's stability also began to decline, Shi Yuqi seized the opportunity to score 4 points in a row, and quickly chased the score to 11 draws, although Gemke relied on grabbing Shi Yuqi's back to return the ball in place, and completed the interception at the net in a row, and once again took a 16-12 lead, but after the stone increased the arc of the return ball, the two sides soon returned to the same running line, but after 20 draws, Shi Yuqi made consecutive mistakes, allowing Gemke to get off to a good start with 22-20。
In the second game, Shi Yuqi took the lead after playing 3 draws with his opponent, and the combination of high-quality point kills and slashes in the overhead area allowed him to quickly establish a 10-4 lead, although Gemke did not give up, and once stubbornly chased the score to 9-11, but Shi Yuqi did not give the opponent a chance to turn the tables, relying on a steady and steady performance, maintaining the advantage to the end, and equalizing the score with 21-12.
The two who were eager to win in the decisive game were inseparable as soon as they came up, but after 6 draws, the problem of Gemke's physical overdraft began to appear, Shi Yuqi seized the opportunity, exchanged venues with an 11-7 lead, and fought again, Gemke wanted to launch a counterattack to close the score, but his physical strength could not keep up, so that his mistakes began to increase, and Shi Yuqi, who was playing steadily, did not give the opponent any chance, and locked the victory with 21-10.
