On May 18, in the women's singles semifinals of the Badminton Thailand Open, Wang Zhiyi met the host player Ge Tong. Getong is a very characteristic player, and although she has never won any decent titles, she has always had a hard time playing. The previous record between the two sides was Wang Zhiyi's 2-1 slight lead.
In the first game, Getong led 3-0 at the beginning, continued to lead 7-3, led 11-10 into the break, and when he came back from the break, Getong played more and more smoothly, opened the score 16-11, and won the first game 21-17.
In the second game, the two sides tied at 8, and Wang Zhiyi led 11-9 into the break. Then Wang Zhiyi scored consecutive points, and the score climbed steadily, 21-12 to pull back a game.
In the third game, after 6 draws, Getong exerted his strength and led 11-6. After returning from the break, Getong continued to soar, leading by as many as 7 points at 16-9 at most, and Wang Zhiyi saw no hope.
At this time, Ge Tong's physical strength was exhausted, and Wang Zhiyi also began to wake up, feeling that it was not possible to pull the hanging, and she still had to assault in a timely manner, so she turned on the scoring mode. She chased 3 points in a row to 12-16, and the difference between the two sides was only 4 points.
Ge Tong once again showed the last of his physical strength, took another 3 steps forward, and led 19-15, and Wang Zhiyi reached the edge of the cliff.
At the critical moment, Wang Zhiyi played very calmly and smartly, on the premise of ensuring that she did not make mistakes, she looked for opportunities through multiple shots, and then killed with one or two beats, chasing 2 points in a row. 17-19。
At this moment, luck also sided with Wang Zhiyi, and Ge Tong rolled a tennis ball, 18-19.
Wang Zhiyi scored another kill, 19 draws. Another split score, but instead won the match point 20-19. When he was 15-19 down, he scored six points in a row and achieved a comeback on the edge of the cliff. At this time, we are all ready to cheer for Wang Zhiyi and congratulate her on another super comeback.
However, just after Wang Zhiyi got the match point, her physical strength may have been almost used, and Getong at this time, her physical strength and mentality recovered, and in the end, she scored 3 points in a row, reversed 22-20 and then reversed to win.
In this way, Wang Zhiyi lost to Ge Tong 1-2 and missed the women's singles final of the Thailand Open. The hope of the Chinese team winning the championship can only be pinned on Han Yue.
