Exciting news from the Badminton Asia Championships in Ningbo, in east China’s Zhejiang Province! Top badminton player Shi Yuqi has moved ahead to the men’s singles quarterfinals after defeating Japan’s Yushi Tanaka with scores of 21-16 and 21-12. 🎉
Last year, Shi had a tough match against Tanaka, but this time he played brilliantly and won in straight games. Shi said, “Tanaka was in great form, and we were eager to win. I was careful with my shots at first, but as the match went on, I relaxed and played my best.” 😊
Shi will face Singapore’s Loh Kean Yew in the next round. Let’s cheer him on! 📣
On the women’s side, Olympic champion Chen Yufei also reached the quarterfinals! She beat Thailand’s Busanan Ongbamrungphan with scores of 21-16 and 21-17. Chen found her rhythm and played impressively, despite a tough second game. Way to go, Chen! 🌟
However, it was a challenging day for Wang Zhiyi. She played against South Korea’s Sim Yu-jin and lost in a dramatic match that went to three games. Even though Wang fought hard, Sim won with scores of 21-13, 10-21, and 21-13. Let’s support Wang and hope for better results next time! 💪
