In the mixed doubles final of the Denmark Open Badminton Championships 2024, a spectacular "civil war" unfolded between two Chinese pairs, Feng Yanzhe / Huang Dongping (Phoenix pair) and Jiang Zhenbang / Wei Yaxin (Zhenxing team). In the end, the Phoenix won 15-21, 21-18, 21-17 to win their fifth title of the season and win back-to-back titles.
The Phoenix duo is currently ranked No. 2 in the world and is strong. This season, they have won the Arctic, China Open, France Open and other tournaments. And the revitalization group, ranked No. 3 in the world, also performed well. They beat the Phoenix 2-0 at the Hong Kong Open, Japan Open, Australia Open, Indonesia Open and IELTS at the Indonesia Open.
The game was full of ups and downs. In the first game, the Phoenix team lost one game with 15 - 21. Entering the second game, the score of the two sides was tied for a while, and after falling behind 8-11, the Phoenix team fought back to catch up and finally won the game 21-18. In the tiebreaker, the Phoenix duo continued to maintain their advantage after leading 11-8 to exchange courts, and finally sealed the victory 21-17. The match lasted 72 minutes, which shows how fierce the competition is.
After the game, Feng Yanzhe kissed the floor emotionally, and this picture was moving. This victory is not only a reflection of the strength of the Phoenix combination, but also a symbol of their tenacious fighting spirit. The wonderful duel between the two Chinese pairs on the international stage also demonstrated the strong strength and profound heritage of Chinese badminton in the mixed doubles event. I believe that in the future competitions, they will continue to fight for the glory of Chinese badminton.
