Zhang Yawen was so disappointed at her failure against Malaysia pair Wong and Chin. Fortunately, she and Xie Zhongbo beat a Denmark pair in the first round of mixed doubles.
As we all knew, Chinese ladies doubles pairs dominate the badminton world. Maybe it is a sign that other countries have the power to challenge Li Yongbo’s girls.
Some fans commented on the reason why they lost the game. Here are some opinions below. ##CONTINUE##
1. Gao Ling/Huang Sui perform more steadily than Zhang Yawen/Wei Yili against foreign opponents.
2. Due to their personalities, Zhang and Wei do less communication on the court without teamwork. But each of them has outstanding techniques. They need to adapt to each other to make 1+1>2.
As for me, the main cause is that Zhang is too tired. Zhang Yawen always plays mixed doubles and women doubles. She has just scored 2 titles in Macau Open and Good Luck Beijing badminton event, which made her exhausted.
Zhang and Wei did a good beginning in the upper part of first game. But the Malaysia pair did not give up and caught up with them to 20-20. And they continued to get 2 points more to win the first game. The Chinese pair defeated them in the second game. In the decider game, Wong/Chin played so well that they realized their dream of beating the world No.1.
In spite of Zhang/Wei’s being out, the remaining 2 pairs still have enough power to defend the championship for China. After all, China’s dominance in badminton is not easy to break through in a short time for other countries.
