The Malaysian Badminton Open ended yesterday in the quarter-finals. The Chinese team occupied two semi-finals in the women’s singles and mixed doubles events. The top seeds Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan were eliminated from the women’s doubles.

World No. 1 Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan have been in poor form recently and did not reach the semi-finals at the last Indonesian Open. In yesterday’s match, they lost 1-2 (21-14, 13-21, 16-21) against new Indonesian duo Rahayu/Ramahandi.

Du Yue/Li Wenmei were also eliminated yesterday. They lost 0-2 (13-21, 15-21) to South Korea’s Jung Na-young/Kim Hye-jung. Zhang Shuxian/Zheng Yu were the only Chinese duo to make it to the women’s doubles semi-finals, beating Indonesia’s Ghani/Sugiato 2-0 (21-13, 21-14).

In the women’s singles match, Chen Yufei won two games in a row after losing a game first, and eliminated Nozomi Okuhara, a famous Japanese player. The scores of the three games were 14-21, 21-18, 21-18. In the semifinals, she will face Chinese Taipei star Tai Tzu-ying again. At the Indonesia Open two weeks ago, Chen Yufei wasted 5 match points and lost to Tai Tzu Ying 1-2.

Wang Zhiyi also lost first and then won. Facing the Danish player Kejersfeld who eliminated Marin in the last round, Wang Zhiyi won the reversal with 21-10, 21-17 after losing the first game 9-21. Another Chinese women’s singles player, Han Yue, unfortunately stopped in the quarter-finals. She lost 0-2 (20-22, 12-21) to Thailand’s Inthanon.

In the men’s singles competition, Lu Guangzu lost 1-2 (21-15, 10-21, 17-21) to Thailand’s talented young Kun Lavut, and still could not reach the semi-finals in this year’s international competition. Entering the men’s singles semi-finals were Denmark’s Axelsen, Japan’s Kento Momota and Indonesia’s Jonathan.

The Chinese men’s doubles team also failed to make it to the semi-finals. Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi failed to seize the game point opportunity in the second game yesterday. They lost two games in a row to Malaysia’s Wu Shifei/Izudin 11-21, 20-22.

In the mixed doubles match, Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong faced France’s Kiquier/Derlu, winning both games by two points. Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong played very hard in the first game. They saved 6 game points from a 16-20 deficit and finally won 25-23. Wang Yilyu/Huang Dongping beat South Korea’s Kim Won-ho/Jung Na-young 2-0 yesterday. In the semi-finals, Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong will face off against Denmark’s Christiansen/Bao Jie, while Wang Yilu/Huang Dongping will face top-seeded Thailand’s Dechabo/Sasiri.
