On the afternoon of December 17, the BWF World Tour Finals held at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center ushered in the final day, in the four individual finals in which the Chinese team participated, Chen Qingchen, Jia Yifan, Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong won two gold medals for the Chinese team, and Liang Weihang, Wang Chang, Feng Yanzhe, Huang Dongping and Shi Yuqi won the runner-up.
Leung Wai Keng, Wang Chang.
In the men's doubles final, world No. 1 Leung Wai Hang and Wang Chang faced Kang Min Hyuk and Seo Seung Jae. South Korea, ranked sixth in the world but world champions, knocked out another Chinese pair, Liu Yuchen and Ou Xuanyi, in the semi-finals. In the game, "Liang Wang" made a lot of mistakes, after losing the first game 17-21, he once held 4 match points in the second game, but was overturned by the opponent when he was leading 20-16, lost a good game, and finally lost 0-2.
There are still a lot of things worth summarizing, and we need to go back and digest them. Wang Chang said that there was a change in mentality in the finals, and he was too anxious and did not do a good job in many places. Leung Wai Keng believes that there is a problem in the execution of tactics, "I hit a little bit in the back, and I have been exerting my strength, but I have not adjusted well." ”
Chen Qingchen Jia Yifan.
After losing the men's doubles title, the women's doubles pair Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan withstood the pressure and also faced the Korean pair, defeating Baek Ha Na Lee So Hee 2-0 to help the Chinese team win the first championship of the finals. In the entire finals, all the games were not lost, and "Fan Chen" reflected the strength of the women's doubles hegemon.
This year marks the 10th year of the Mortal Dust partnership, with the two competing in 6 Grand Finals, the 4th title and the 8th title of 2023. "From the beginning when the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, to now when everyone thinks that we are the eldest sister or the first sister of the Chinese team, in fact, our pressure will be greater. Jia Yifan said that along the way, they showed the ups and downs of athletes from rising stars to high levels, without dragging each other's hind legs, and never complaining about each other when they failed, "What is more precious is that we are now more united, and we really recognize each other's performance from the bottom of our hearts." ”
Zheng Siwei, Huang Yaqiong.
As Zheng Siwei, Huang Yaqiong, Feng Yanzhe and Huang Dongping entered the final, the Chinese team has won the mixed doubles gold medal in advance, and this final seems to have become an intra-team training match. In the end, Zhejiang's local combination "IELTS" defeated "Phoenix" in two straight games and successfully defended its title. "IELTS" won the first game easily 21-11, and in the second game, they completed the comeback from 13-17 down to win the victory.
This is the last competition of the year and I am very happy to have won the championship. Zheng Siwei said frankly that since the beginning of the Olympic points competition, he has been under some pressure this year, and he only decided to participate in the finals a month ago, which is not only very challenging in itself, but also very important for increasing the Olympic points.
After the Hangzhou Asian Games, the two Zhejiang athletes once again won the championship at home, Zheng Siwei said that the support of the people in their hometown gave them a lot of motivation, especially when playing foreign players, it was particularly obvious, "I am very happy that Hangzhou's feng shui nourishes the people of my hometown." ”
Shi Yuqi. In the final men's singles final, Shi Yuqi once again challenged the Danish star Viktor Axelsen, but unfortunately failed to continue his strong performance in defeating his opponent in the group stage. In the two games, Shi Yuqi was able to bite the score in the first half of the game and even take the lead, but in the second half of the game, he was unable to parry Axelsen's strong attack, and finally lost -21.
In the women's singles final, Chinese Taipei star Tai Tzu Ying reversed South Korean player and Hangzhou Asian Games champion An Xiying 2-1 after losing one game first.
