On the evening of April 12, Beijing time, the 2024 Badminton Asian Championships (Super 1000) ended with two other key battles, with All England champion Li Shifeng happy to take revenge on defending champion Ginting, and men's doubles Liang Wang pair Liang Wei Keng/Wang Chang performed strongly in the duel with the Jinzhi "Double A" pair Alfian/Ardianto, and finally defeated their opponents to advance to the top 4.
With the blossoming of the national feather women's singles, Chen Yufei, He Bingjiao, Wang Zhiyi and Han Yue gathered together to win all the top 4 seats, locking the championship and runner-up in one round in advance, and the national feather men's singles and men's doubles, which have been weak overall, have become the focus of the audience:
Leung Wai Hang/Wang Chang VS Alfian/Ardianto
The record of the two sides is 3-2, and the Liang Wang combination has a slight advantage, and the three games won are all 1/4 finals, which means that the Liang Wang combination has never lost in the 1/4 finals.
But unfortunately, the two matches that Liang Wang lost happened to be finals, namely the final of the 2022 Indonesia Badminton Masters and the final of the 2023 Malaysia Open.
Therefore, many fans are looking forward to Liang Wang beating Shuang'a to death in this game:
This game was quite interesting, first the Shuang'A combination crushed 8:3 in the opening game, and the Liangwang combination then chased it to 8:11. After the intermittent adjustment, Shuang'A made a comeback, putting Liang Wang in the ice hole at 19:16, but the script was dramatically reversed, and the Shuang'A combination made a series of downward pressure errors, and was won by Liang Wang 21:19.
In the second game, Shuang'a launched a crazy counterattack, and the Liangwang combination was suppressed 5:7, 7:11 and 10:13 successively, and all fans hoped that the Liangwang combination would fight back again when they were 12:17 behind, but they lost 4 points in a row and hastily lost the game 12:21.
In the deciding game, the two sides launched a fast-paced battle, and the Liang Wang combination established a small advantage of 8:5 with a solid defense, and then took the lead again at 11:9 and 13:10.
After that, Shuang'a's physical strength declined seriously, and was expanded to 17:12 by Liang Wang in the multi-shot duel, and finally 21:17, avenging the opponent with a total score of 2-1 to advance to the semifinals.
李诗沣 US 金廷
The two sides have a record of 2-4, and although Li Shifeng is at a disadvantage, he has won the last two consecutive victories.
This is the second time that the two sides have played in the Asian Championships, the last time was in the quarterfinals last year, when the two sides fought three games, and finally Li Shifeng lost 24:26 in the deciding game and missed the final.
Therefore, in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, Li Shifeng aims to solve the battle in two rounds.
In the first game of this campaign, Ginting performed sluggishly on the offensive end, and was beaten by Li Shifeng 9:1, and after intermittent adjustments, he continued to lead 13:4, and with Li Shifeng's quick backhand in front of the net, he successfully attacked diagonally, and grabbed the first game 21:9.
In last year's 1/4 finals, Li Shifeng won the first game 21:10.
In the second game, Li Shifeng continued to suppress Ginting, once established a 7:2 dream start, and then entered the break with 11:4, and after 15:8, finally took revenge on Ginting with a total score of 2-0 without suspense to advance to the semifinals.
In addition, the three top mixed doubles IELTS pairs, Jiang Wei and Dongfeng pairs gathered in the top 4 to form a combination of meat ding/Sha Bo combinations, among which Jiang Wei and Dongfeng defeated Japan's Dongdu and South Korea's Zheng Jin combination in the semi-finals, thus locking a final seat in advance!
Whether this Asian Championships can win the championship and runner-up after the women's singles depends on the performance of the world's No. 1 IELTS combination in the semifinals!
