The 2021 Danish Open came to an end on 24 October, one of the few high-level events of the 2021 season, with the last stop being the All England Open in early March. However, this Danish Open is followed by the Sudirman Cup and the Tangyou Cup, one is that the world's top masters are basically all out, and the second is that the three competitions are held in Northern Europe, which saves a lot of trouble to a certain extent. So let's take a look at some of the highlights of the Danish Open.
The national feather women's doubles are temporarily combined into the largest dark horse
In addition to chen qingchen/Jia Yifan and Liu Xuanxuan/Xia Yuting two pairs of fixed doubles, two new pairs were also sacrificed, Du Yue/Li Wenmei and Huang Dongping/Zheng Yu, but the Fanchen combination chose to withdraw from the tournament in the first round, while the other three teams finally only Huang Dongping/Zheng Yu came to the end and successfully won the championship.
On their way to victory, the biggest opponent they won was Indonesia's Polly/Lahayu, who had just won the Tokyo Olympics. In the quarter-finals, almost everyone thought that the Indonesian players would win the final victory, because Huang Dongping / Zheng Yu was a new pair, both in terms of fame and strength, although There was Huang Dongping, the Tokyo Olympic mixed doubles champion, but Zheng Yu's serve was a short board, the first set of the process is indeed as predicted by the fans, the advantages of Indonesian players are more obvious, especially in the first half of the suppression of Huang Dongping and Zheng Yu, but also quickly won the first set.
But from the second set, the Chinese team began to make changes, since the first half is the Advantage of Indonesia, then more choice is not to stitch the hair, especially Zheng Yu's serve, directly serve the backcourt, starting from defense. Indeed, such a tactical change has played a role, the defense and patience of the two players of the Chinese team have made the Indonesian team suffer a lot, Huang Dongping's defensive ability has made Indonesia helpless, Zheng Yu's previous main attack singles, running and high ball and the handling of the split in front of the net have also made Indonesia unable to find too good a way, coupled with the decline in veteran Polly's physical fitness led to a decrease in the stability of the serve, the last two sets Huang Dongping / Zheng Yu did not give the opponent too many opportunities, won two consecutive sets to reverse Polly and Lahayu, played the most difficult ball on the road to winning the championship.
Semi-final against Thailand Lavinda / Zong Kongpan, the final against south Korean team Lee Shaoxi / Shin Seung-chan, all of them fell in two straight sets to win, Zheng Yu in addition to a slightly weaker serve, the entire Danish Open this station played very well, coupled with Huang Dongping's bright complement, won the only championship for the national feather.
Arcelor picked peaches and successfully broke through the defensive line of the heart
Men's singles has to be said, especially when the final is Acesaron against Momota Kendou, the highlight of the whole game is not lacking, Arcelor is the stingico Olympic champion, and he also became the first man in European history, set the Olympic Games, world championships, Thomas Cup champion in one, but he has the biggest psychological obstacle, that is, Momota Kendou, before the Danish Open final, the two played 14 times, Momota Kendou won an overwhelming victory of 13 wins and 1 loss, and Arceloron has been 13 consecutive defeats, This danish open is the first time the two have played each other since the Olympic Games. Momota Kendou failed to qualify in the group stage of the Olympic Games, and this time against the New Branch Olympic champion, it proved for himself.
In the middle of the first round to the middle of the second set, although the score difference between the two is not much, but the scene is indeed Momota Kendou is more dominant, in the multi-shot link has a certain advantage in the small details in front of the net, in fact, more are psychological battles, the first round Momota Kendou won 22:20. At the time when all thought that Arcelorn was about to lose two sets, at the end of the second set, Arceloron suddenly exerted force, the control of the attack and line was better, and he was forced to pull back.
The third set returned to the same running line, Arcelor also took advantage of the temperament of the reversal in the second set, more patience and stability, especially the forehand split diagonal line to get a lot of points, Momota Kendou was originally playing control- mainly, in the case of huge consumption in the first two sets of doubles.
Arcelong in the decider can also have a relatively fast attack speed and frequency, and this alone caught Momota Kendou off guard. The score slowly widened, and Momota Kendou's pace became slower and slower, and it was obvious that the footsteps were getting heavier, and the increase in the range of movements was also a manifestation of his physical problems, and in the end, Arcelor won the decider 21:12 and won his own significant game in his hometown.
This game is not only to prove the gold content of his Olympic champion, but more importantly, to stop the consecutive defeats against Momota Kendou and achieve the second victory rate of his career against Momota Kendou, since then it can be said that he should break through the inner demons, and when facing Momota Kendou again in the future, the biggest opponent, the increase in confidence is inevitable.
How much Akane Yamaguchi is
In today's women's singles, two Japanese athletes, Okuhara Hope and Akane Yamaguchi, are rare runners, but their endurance as running players is enough to occupy a place. In the Sudirman Cup and Uber Cup, in the face of the challenge of Chen Yufei, the number one women's singles and New Branch Olympic champion, Yamaguchi Akane defeated the opponent twice, and both were straight down two sets, although the psychological pressure of the team competition was relatively heavy, and continuous combat would be affected, but both were in the same position and schedule, and it had to be said that Yamaguchi Akane's combat ability was very strong. The Danish Open final faced South Korean rising star Ahn Seok-young and the two staged an endurance race. In the first two innings, it can be said that Ahn's pace on the court is very stable, more to control Akane Yamaguchi, so we see that Ahn-hyun-ying will be a little easier on the scene, but the number of shots per point is very large, which is more beneficial to Akane Yamaguchi.
At the end of the second inning, Ann also wanted to end the battle in two innings, and Akane Yamaguchi's willpower was reflected at this time, each one was too tenacious, 25:23, the two ended the tug-of-war in the second set with unusual fatigue. After a short break, Yamaguchi Akane's physical fitness seems to recover instantaneously, the decisive game is a bit of a one-sided situation, Yamaguchi Akane looks at Ann Seo's physical fitness problems, or a large angle to pull apart combined with more shots, Ann Seo Ying's intermission, has requested medical suspension, and a thick bandage is also tied to her thigh. In the face of Yamaguchi Akane's multi-beat transfer, the score gap is getting bigger and bigger, An Xianying still does not give up every point as always, but this also accelerates her thigh injury, when the score is 16:5, An Xianying really can't hold on, can only be forced to choose to withdraw, Yamaguchi Akane also won this game, the decider directly beat An Xianying to injury. Before there was Aohara hoping to fight with Hindehu in a life-and-death battle, and then yamaguchi Akane injured Ahn, the running of these two women's singles players in Japan is indeed enough for everyone to drink a pot.
After the end of the Danish Open, the national feather is holding high the free card, and many good players are before the French Open or the first round of the choice to withdraw, better for the end of the year of the World Championships to prepare, although there are still two high-level events in Asia, it is estimated that many players will choose to quit, after all, the level of the World Championships is higher, and the continuous combat pair has to maintain a stable performance.
