Guoyu is the top seed, India is the defending champion, the 1/4 finals met, became the focus of attention of outside fans, Shi Yuqi reversed Prannoy 2-1, withstood the pressure at the critical moment, and then won the foreign war is worthy of affirmation, and then Wang Chang / Liang Weikeng against Shetty / Rankireddy, this win is actually more difficult, after all, Shetty / Rankireddy is at this stage, the Indian team has the strongest impact position.
Wang Chang / Liang Wei Keng is the rise of this Olympic cycle of young combination, men's doubles world ranking No. 1, its competitive level is naturally self-evident, Wang Chang / Liang Wei Keng's biggest problem is instability, some time ago just won the Asian Championships, now lost to the South Korean combination Seo Seung Jae / Kang Min-hyuk, of course, this result is also normal, after all, the current men's doubles strength is too close, it all depends on the individual's on-the-spot performance.
Shetty/Rankireddy is ranked 3rd in the world, Shetty/Rankireddy is the ace combination of the Indian team, contributing to the last Thomas Cup victory, and Shetty/Rankireddy is the main competitor of the national feather at the Paris Olympics, and the threat is second only to Seo Seungjae/Kang Minhyuk, which can be said to be very comprehensive from the perspective of play, the two sides have played each other 6 times, Wang Chang/Liang Weikeng 4-2, with a slight advantage.
After the start of the game, in the first game, Wang Chang/Liang Wei Keng adopted a steady and steady strategy, Xie Ti/Rankireddy had nothing to do about it, Wang Chang/Liang Wei Keng led 11-6, Xie Ti/Liang Wei Hang chased the score in vain, Wang Chang/Liang Wei Keng took the lead 21-15, Shetty/Rankireddy felt a little tight, it was obvious that Prannoy was reversed by Shi Yuqi, and the morale of the whole team was greatly affected.
In the second game, Wang Chang/Liang Weikeng wanted to win the opponent in one go, resulting in a somewhat anxious mentality, more and more offensive mistakes, and ups and downs in the competitive state, Wang Chang/Liang Weikeng suddenly dropped the line with a 7-4 lead, and was reversed by Xie Ti/Rankireddy to pull back a game 21-11, and the mentality of the deciding game has changed, Wang Chang/Liang Weihang withstood the pressure and locked the victory with 21-12, and finally defeated Shetty/Rankireddy 2-1.
This is still a bit thrilling, it is not easy to win, especially in the second game Wang Chang / Liang Wei Keng's state seriously declined, but fortunately the deciding game found its rhythm to avoid Xie Ti / Rankireddy taking advantage of the situation to chase, with Shi Yuqi, Wang Chang / Liang Wei Keng scoring points, the national feather is basically the winner of the game, the third set Li Shifeng is expected to end the game, and the Indian No. 2 men's doubles strength is average, and it is by no means the opponent of He Jiting/Ren Xiangyu.
