Finally, Du Kaiqin's match against Shan Xiaona is also full of highlights.
Du won 4-0, 11-8, 11-8, 11-6 and 11-7.
Du has always been a high-profile player in the tournament, and he has shown a clear advantage in the serve segments, which is one of the reasons why he has consistently achieved good results in the tournament.
He has a strong ability to attack, can quickly open the landing spot, effectively mobilize opponents, and shows excellent tactical execution.
Moreover, he has always maintained a strong sense of attack during the game, which allows him to counter quickly at crucial moments.
Throughout the match, Du Kaiqin's backhand twisting technique also showed his uniqueness, which made him a certain threat on the court.
He was able to use the technique flexibly, earning himself a lot of points.
However, Du Kaiqin also has his shortcomings.
When dealing with long balls, he is relatively weak and the quality of his shots is not consistent enough, which also gives his opponents certain opportunities.
In addition, in the stalemate, Du relied too much on his backhand technique, which made him appear a bit one-dimensional in the match.
Moreover, his backhand stability was not high, which led to a lot of mistakes in the game, which also affected his performance in the game.
After the game, the discussion on the Internet also became a hot topic.
Some fans of Du Kaiqin praised his performance, saying: "Du Kaiqin's serve ability is really good, and his tackling awareness is also very strong, which makes him always able to cause problems for opponents in matches." ”
Another person said: "Du Kaiqin's backhand twisting and pulling technique is really unique, and every time I watch him play, it is very interesting." ”
However, there were also some fans who expressed concerns about Du's performance.
They said: "Du Hoi Kim is really lacking in handling long balls and this is something he needs to strengthen. ”
Another person pointed out: "He relied too much on his backhand in the holding section and his backhand was not very consistent, which led to a lot of mistakes in the match, which affected the outcome of the match." ”
Du's style of play and technical characteristics do make him competitive in the game, but he also needs to work on his weaknesses in training, improve the consistency of his backhand, and improve the quality of his shots when handling long balls.
Despite a dip in form in the last two years, Doo's impressive performance today showed that she still has a strong competitive quality.
Overall, the second matchday of the World Cup in Macau showcased a number of exciting matches, and the players were in different competitive forms, which gave us a lot of anticipation for the future competitions.
