At half past nine in the morning on May 5th, Beijing time, the Uber Cup championship battle officially began, and CCTV5 broadcast the game live!
The Chinese team continued the lineup of the semi-finals, Chen Yufei faced Indonesia's Mariska in the first game, and after nearly 90 minutes of fierce battle, the final score was 2-0, with the scores of 21:7 and 21:16 respectively, which made a good start for the Chinese team's tiebreaker.
The second match was Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan's Fan Chen combination against Indonesia's Ramadanti/Libeka. The Fan Chen duo still showed super strength in the last Tang You Cup of their careers, and the impeccable tacit cooperation between the two allowed them to sweep their opponents 2-0. The scores of the two games were 21:11 and 21:8, and they scored the second point for the Chinese team in the tiebreaker.
In the post-match interview, Jia Yifan said: "Thanks to the trust of the organization, I have the opportunity to prove myself again. Chen Qingchen immediately agreed: "That's for sure, I always want to mix one (trophy), and I think about being able to beat a drum in the back (be a cheerleader)." Listening to the relaxed and ridiculous conversation between the two people who are very good at expressing themselves, thinking of the journey of Fan Chen's combination, I can't help but reddened my eyes for the veteran's hard work.
Next is the match between He Bingjiao and Esther, which is currently a 1-1 draw, let's cheer for her together, and look forward to the Chinese team successfully lifting the championship trophy!
