Paris, March 7 (Xinhua) -- In the French Open Badminton Championships on March 7, mixed doubles top seeds Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong defeated Chinese Taipei pair Hu Ayafang and Yang Boxuan to advance to the quarterfinals. As International Women's Day is approaching, the "IELTS" group talked about women who have an important impact on their lives in an interview after the competition.
If I want to talk about women, of course, it's my mother. Huang Yaqiong took the lead in taking over the topic.
Me too, definitely my mother, and my wife. Zheng Siwei continued, but he immediately reacted and added, "Of course, there are also my partners, the three of them are the women I want to thank the most." ”
Such an answer also made Huang Yaqiong very appreciative: "Yes, I can speak!" ”
The "IELTS" pair suffered a little trouble in the opening stages of the day's match, and the opponent led 11-9 into the first game at one point.
The opponent came up much faster than us, and we felt like we were caught off guard, and we were attacked by them when we picked it up, and then our attack was also put away by them all at once, and their coherence was pressed very quickly, and as soon as we added rhythm, our speed fell behind. Zheng Siwei concluded.
But Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong quickly adjusted their rhythm, and after returning from the break, they overtook the score with a wave of 6:1 attacks. In the second game, the "IELTS" combination did not give the opponent any chance, leading from the beginning to the end to win the game.
In the past, the French Open was held in late October, but this year, due to the Paris Olympics, the competition was brought forward to March as an Olympic test event, and the venue was chosen at the La Chapelle Arena, the badminton venue of the Paris Olympics. After the first two rounds, the "IELTS" duo felt that their game was getting better and better.
In the other matches of the day, He Bingjiao in women's singles and Lu Guangzu in men's singles defeated their respective opponents to advance to the quarterfinals, while Wang Zhiyi lost to No. 3 seed Tai Tzu Ying and missed the next round. In Women's Doubles, top seeds Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan defeated a Japanese pair to advance. (ENDS).
