The Thailand Open Badminton Championships have just started the first round of matches, and after yesterday's mixed doubles third seeds Wu Xun Valve/Lai Minjie stopped in the first round, three more men's singles seeds were eliminated today, which is really unbelievable, top seed Antonsen was beaten by Ng Ka Long, fifth seed Prannoy was beaten by unknown men's singles, and seventh seed Luo Jian You was easily defeated by Wang Ziwei. Thailand is really a hotbed of unpopularity.
In today's women's singles event, the fifth seed Zhang Yiman lost to South Korea's Shen Youzhen in the first round, and was eliminated after a round of tours. The other three golden flowers, Han Yue, Wang Zhiyi and Gao Fangjie, passed the test smoothly.
Zhang Yiman 0-2 Shen Youzhen 15-21, 12-21
That's right, it is this Shen Youzhen, who defeated Wang Zhiyi in the Uber Cup final the year before last, and Shen Youzhen, who made great contributions to South Korea's championship in one fell swoop, also became famous with this battle. She is ranked 33rd in the world. Zhang Yiman is ranked 15th in the world, and Man Man is also the fifth seed in this tournament. It's a pity that Manman has no state at all today, and he can't enter the rhythm of the game at all, and he was easily won by the opponent. The 15-21 and 12-21 defeats were really distressing. No way, this is badminton, it's not that you can win the game if you have a good level of strength, the game is the result of a combination of many factors. Hopefully, Manman will get out of the predicament as soon as possible and find his feel in the next few races.
Han Yue 2-0 Malvica 21-11, 21-10
Han Yuegui is the top seed in this tournament. She is ranked seventh in the world, and the masters in front of her are all resting at home and adjusting their state, and only Han Yue plays the spirit of a model worker. Her first-round opponent was India's Marvika, ranked 33rd in the world. In the two games, Han Yue barely put too much effort, and it is estimated that he had just reached the feeling of sweating, and then he called it a day, and the opponent got exactly 21 points in the two games. The strength of the two people is not in the same magnitude, and the game is also one-sided. Han Yue clocked out early.
Wang Zhiyi 2-0 Huang Youxun 21-8, 21-12
Wang Zhiyi is ranked eighth in the world after Han Yue, and is the No. 2 seed in the tournament, defending the bottom half of the tournament. Her first-round opponent was Taiwan's Youxun Huang, ranked 64th in the world. This kind of game is simply a remake of the match between Han Yue and Malvica. The difference is that Malvica scored 21 points in two games, while Hwang Yoo-hoon's two games combined to score one less point, only 20 points. Wang Zhiyi easily won the game 2-0.
Gao Fangjie 2-0 Samia 21-13, 21-13
Gao Fangjie is ranked 34th in the world, and Samia is ranked 66th in the world, and from the ranking point of view, there is a certain gap between the two in terms of strength. In this game, Gao Fangjie did not give the opponent much chance, entered the state relatively quickly, controlled the whole game and controlled the rhythm on the field, did not encounter much resistance, won the game 21-13, 21-13, and successfully advanced to the second round.
In this way, the four golden flowers of the national feather have three wins and one loss, except for Zhang Yiman, who all advanced to the 1/8 finals.
