On the court in Bangkok, badminton is flying, and the 2024 Thailand Open is in full swing. In the mixed doubles 1/8 finals, Guo Xinwa and Chen Fanghui joined hands to attack, and after three rounds of fierce battles, they finally defeated their former partners Cheng Xing and Li Qian with a score of 2-1 and advanced to the top eight. The tense and exciting duel is like a script of emotional entanglement, deducing the drama of "love and kill" on the venue.
The eyes of the spectators followed the trajectory of the shuttlecock, and each stroke stirred up a heartbeat. The tacit cooperation between Guo Xinwa and Chen Fanghui seems to tell people that they are ready to meet greater challenges.
In the men's singles field, Zhao Junpeng encountered Wu Jialong, who was in hot form. Despite his best efforts, he was ultimately eliminated with a score of 0-2, and every point gained and lost in the course of the game made people feel the cruelty and charm of competitive sports.
Netizen "Badminton Man" commented: The new combination of Guo Xinwa / Chen Fanghui is really eye-catching, it seems that the "predecessor" is just a thing of the past, and the new combination can create a different spark!
Netizens "hot blood in the field" ridiculed: Zhao Junpeng is still too tender, and Wu Jialang's strength is obviously higher. The national men's singles still has a long way to go if it wants to make a difference on the international stage.
Time flies, and Zhao Junpeng, a veteran, seems to have walked in the twilight on the badminton court. Although he is no longer at the peak of his former form, the fans only have endless regret for him, but it is difficult to hate him. As one of the most senior members of the men's singles team, he is teetering on the verge of retirement, and the coaching staff seems to have forgotten about him. The results are no longer brilliant, the mentality is up and down, and the future of the national team seems to be out of reach for him.
However, on this badminton battlefield, Lu Guangzu was like a dark horse and stood out in the second round. When the game entered the deciding game, facing a 12-18 deficit, he did not choose to give up, but staged a gripping comeback drama. In the end, the player, known as "Inspirational Brother", successfully overturned Watanabe with a score of 2-1 and became the only top 8 player in the national feather men's singles. The tense score, 21-10, 18-21, 21-19, seemed to still echo in the ears of the fans.
The battle on other fields was just as fierce:
The combination of Dechapol and Sasiri defeated Ye Ruiqing and Siu Zixuan 21-11, 21-16, showing their tacit understanding and strength.
Mariska took a 21-15 lead against Busanan, who retired at 14-6.
Teenager Li Jiahao won 18-21, 21-17, 21-18 in a fierce battle with Wang Ziwei, demonstrating the fighting spirit of the young athletes.
Netizen "The Little Prince of Badminton" said:
"It's a pity that Zhao Junpeng thinks he was also the pride of Guoyu back then. Although his form is declining now, I still hope that the coaching staff can give him more opportunities to get back to his former style. ”
Netizen "The King of Counterattack" ridiculed:
"Lu Guangzu's counterattack this time is really surprising, it seems that there is still hope for the national feather men's singles. However, an outdated veteran like Zhao Junpeng should retire as soon as possible, don't occupy a position and not. ”
