On May 2, 2024, in the Thomas Cup quarter-finals match between China and India, Shi Yuqi defeated Prannoy 2-1 to get the national team off to a good start. This game touched me deeply, and it also made me see Shi Yuqi's growth and the strength of Guoyu.
After the start of the game, Shi Yuqi was a little nervous because he was playing at home and had a strong opponent, which led to a 15-21 loss in the first game. But during the break, Son Jun's guidance allowed him to adjust his tactics and no longer fight too much with Prannoy in front of the net, but play more offense and cold boards. This change of tactics allowed Shi Yuqi to take the initiative in the second game, and he won comfortably 21-11.
In the third game, Shi Yuqi took a 3-1 lead at the beginning, but Prannoy then chased the score to 4-3. However, Shi Yuqi was not affected, he continued to play at his own pace and extended his lead with two dribbles when he was leading 10-6. In the end, Shi Yuqi won the third game 21-14, thus winning a 2-1 overall victory over Prannoy.
The victory in this match not only gave Guoyu a 1-0 lead over India in the big score, but also showed us the strength and potential of Shi Yuqi. His ability to adjust his tactics in the face of difficulties and his ability to remain calm when it matters are essential qualities for an elite athlete. At the same time, this game also showed us the strength of the national team, Sun Jun's guidance and Shi Yuqi's execution are very in place.
Of course, this game also made us aware of some problems. For example, Shi Yuqi's performance in the first game was inconsistent, and he suffered a loss in front of the net against Prannoy, which shows that he still needs to improve his skills in front of the net. In addition, the performance of the national team in the men's doubles also needs to be further strengthened, only in this way can the national team achieve better results in future competitions.
Overall, Shi Yuqi's 2-1 victory over Prannoy showed us the strength and potential of the national feather, and also made us look forward to the future of the national feather. I hope that the national feather can continue to maintain a good form in the next games and win glory for the country!
