On the badminton court at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the men's singles event is really up and down. The result of the quarterfinals was staggering - Shi Yuqi, the hope of the national feather men's singles, was beaten by Kunlavut with a score of 12-21, 10-21, and completely bid farewell to the dream of the semifinals. This defeat not only made Shi Yuqi sad, but also made Guoyu fail to reach the semi-finals in the men's singles event for the first time in 20 years.
In this competition, Shi Yuqi's performance was really surprising. At the beginning of the match, he looked a little out of shape, and his opponent Kunlavut attacked one after another, and Shi Yuqi barely found a chance to fight back. 12-21 in the first game and 10-21 in the second game, the score gap is so big, and the scene is a little helpless.
After the game, Shi Yuqi said in an interview that he was disappointed and very sad about the result. He said he had done his best and prepared well, but there were still a lot of problems in the game. He mentioned that in the face of his opponent's rapid attack, he was always in a passive state in the service and extension link, and his speed and consistency were completely suppressed by his opponent. Shi Yuqi also said that although he failed to meet expectations this time, he will adjust his mentality, continue to work hard, and strive for better results in the future.
Netizens also had a lively discussion about this game. Someone left a message on social media: "Shi Yuqi played this game really disappointingly, I feel that I haven't been able to keep up with the rhythm of Kunlavut from beginning to end." Another netizen said: "Shi Yuqi's performance this time is indeed a little disappointing, but don't forget some of his previous highlights in the game." Hopefully, he will learn from this failure and continue to work hard. ”
Others expressed concern about Shi Yuqi's future: "His performance in the tournament has been up and down before, and this time he stopped in the semi-finals, and I really don't know when he will break through this bottleneck." Another netizen gave support to his career: "Shi Yuqi still has strength, and the runner-up in the 2018 World Championships proves that he is not simple." Although this defeat is regrettable, he is still young and should be given more time and opportunities. ”
In this badminton men's singles competition, the performance of other players is also worth mentioning, which brought a lot of surprises to the audience.
Li Zijia played particularly well in the duel with Antonsen. At the beginning of the game, he showed strong offensive firepower, which was addictive to watch. Every swing of his racket was full of power, and the ball was so fast that Antonsen barely had time to react. In the first game, Li Zijia won 21-17 with his swift attack. The same was true in the second game, where Li Zijia continued to maintain a high level of performance, not only hitting the ball accurately, but also playing very aggressively. In the end, he ended the match 21-15, and he clearly had the upper hand in the entire matchup. After the match, Li Zijia revealed in an interview that he was very satisfied with the victory. He said that he was in good shape in the competition and was very pleased to be able to bring out the results of his usual training. After seeing Li Zijia's performance, many netizens also liked him on social media, praising his offensive style and stability, "Li Zijia's style of play is too fierce, I haven't seen such a strong attack for a long time!" ”
Defending champion Viktor Axelsen did not disappoint, as his performances remained solid. Facing Luo Jianyou, Axelsen showed his strong strength as soon as he took the court. In the first game, he easily won 21-9 and completely controlled the pace of the game. Although the difference in points in the second game was not that large, Axelsen still performed well and won 21-17. In this game, Axelsen's technique is very mature, and every detail of his play is very well done. His calmness and poise on the pitch kept him ahead of the curve. In the post-match interview, Viktor Axelsen appeared relaxed, saying he felt in good shape and was confident for the rest of the race. Netizens also praised Axelsen's performance, some said: "Axelsen is really the defending champion, worthy of being the strongest player, and every game is admirable." ”
With the release of the semi-finals, the matchup pattern of the men's singles semifinals has also been determined. Viktor Axelsen will face Lakshya, while Lee will face Aung Lavut. Judging from the current form, Axelsen is the favorite to defend the title, and although the other players also have strength, their form has been up and down, making this semi-final full of suspense.
Hafiz, a former All England champion and now the coach of the Malaysia national junior badminton team, has a very high opinion of Axelsen. He mentioned that Axelsen is a very offensive player, especially in the new 5-game 3-11 system introduced by the Badminton Federation, his advantage will be more obvious. This new format is a plus for a player like Viktor Axelsen.
With such a rule, 11 points per game, the score may change more frequently in a short period of time, which means that the pace of the game becomes faster and the margin for error is reduced. This kind of fast-paced game often requires players to react quickly. Axelsen's attacking style is a perfect fit for such a rule, as he is able to press quickly in the game and make it difficult for opponents to find opportunities to counter-attack. Hafez says this style of play will make Axelsen's game particularly interesting, as he will be more prominent in attack.
Xiao Li, a badminton enthusiast, left a message on the Internet: "To be honest, this new format is really good for Axelsen. His offense was already fierce, but after changing to 3 wins and 11 points in 5 games, the number of innings was reduced and the pace of the game was faster, which allowed Axelsen to play to his strengths better. Xiao Li's comment caused a lot of discussion among netizens.
Another netizen, Xiao Zhang, said: "I'm a little worried that this short-game system will make the game a bit monotonous. While Axelsen's offense is strong, I'd like to see more tactical changes, not just attacks. Zhang's concerns were not met with much response, but they also reflected the reservations of some fans about the new rules.
Overall, the situation in the men's singles badminton field at the Paris Olympics is eye-popping. The loss of the national feather is regrettable, but it also allows us to see the rise of other players. In the future game, who can have the last laugh will have to see the next exciting showdown.
