On January 28, Beijing time, in the mixed doubles final of the Indonesia Badminton Masters, China's ** combination Huang Yaqiong and Zheng Siwei showed strong strength in Jakarta and clashed with the Japanese pair Daiki Midorikawa and Saito Natsu. The whole game only took more than 30 minutes, and Huang Yaqiong and Zheng Siwei easily defeated their opponents with a score of -16 and lifted the championship trophy. At this moment, they once again won a piece of glory for Chinese badminton.
The Indonesia Badminton Masters in Jakarta is the pinnacle of the Super 500 tournament with a total prize fund of US$420,000 and attracts the best players from around the world. On this stage where the championship prize money is not expensive, Huang Yaqiong and Zheng Siwei showed outstanding strength and became the focus of the entire competition.
Once the match began, the IELTS duo quickly took the initiative, pinning their opponents to the edge of the court with decisive and flexible serve and superb technique. The first game was easily passed 21-15, which made people marvel at their tacit understanding and tacit understanding. In the second game, Midorikawa Daiki and Natsu Saito tried to counterattack, but it was still difficult to resist the powerful offensive of Huang Yaqiong and Zheng Siwei, and finally ended 21-16. Throughout the match, the IELTS pair continued to perform at a high level, making one wonder if the other mixed doubles pairs could find a chance in front of them.
With the victory of the Indonesia Badminton Masters, the IELTS team once again added the championship honor to their brilliant resume. In 2018, they finished runners-up at the All England Open Badminton Championships before winning the Asian Games Mixed Doubles title 2-0 at the Asian Games in Jakarta. In 2019, at the World Badminton Championships, they successfully defended their title. At the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, they won the silver medal, showing the strong strength of Chinese badminton. At last year's Asian Games in Hangzhou, they swept their opponents 2-0 again and won the gold medal. Now, they have once again reached the top at the Indonesia Badminton Masters and have become a beautiful business card of Chinese badminton.
However, winning is not the end, but a new beginning. For Huang Yaqiong and Zheng Siwei, the Paris 2024 Olympics will be an extremely important challenge. In the IELTS combination, Zheng Siwei is 27 years old, while Huang Yaqiong is entering 30 years old and is at the peak of her career. This may be their last chance to compete together on the Olympic stage.
This Indonesia Badminton Masters not only added glory to the IELTS pair, but also injected a lot of vitality into their bank accounts. Of the total prize money of 420,000 US dollars, the championship prize is as high as 33,180 US dollars, which is equivalent to about 230,000 yuan, which can be described as a rich return. In comparison, the Japanese pair was only able to receive $15,960. This figure not only reflects the high level of Chinese badminton, but also shows the strong strength of the IELTS combination.
Finally, we can't help but ask, behind the success of the IELTS combination, is it more worth pondering? How did their understanding, skill, and willpower come about? Does the training system of Chinese badminton have special advantages? In the global badminton competition, can we cultivate more similar Huang Yaqiong and Zheng Siwei?
Overall, the victory of the IELTS combination is not only the pride of Chinese badminton, but also the glory of the entire sports world. We look forward to their success in future competitions and add glory to Chinese badminton!
