Women’s Doubles: Yeung Pei-lin and Yeung Ya-ting Fall to Liu Shengshu and Tan Ning

The “Yangs” in beige shirts faced the second seed and runner-up of the Hong Kong Open, national representatives Liu Shengshu and Tan Ning in the second round of women’s doubles. They took turns to draw two and focus on attacking Tan Ning’s side. They lost the first game 18-21. In the middle of the second game, they led by 3 points. They fought back and forth. Yeung Pei-lin passed to the net and Yeung Ya-ting took over, but the ball fell into the net and bent over to rest. After that, the opponent led 6-0 in two stages. They lost several games 12-21.

Men’s Singles: Shi Yuqi Loses to Ginting in Straight Sets

The top seed in men’s singles, national representative Shi Yuqi in light-colored shirts, faced Indonesia’s Ginting. He never took the lead throughout the game. Recently, he tied three times at the beginning. After being pulled apart, he lost 11-21. The world’s number one played against the tenth. In the second game, Shi Yuqi did not even have a mobile phone and fell behind 2-14. He gave up the Hong Kong Open earlier. He chose to return to the game at home, but he received treatment for his ankle and waist afterwards. Maybe the pain was stopped, but it could not stop Ginting’s dominance. The deciding point was played in the backcourt. Ginting won the game 21-8 by a large margin. After twelve encounters, it took 28 minutes. He won for the third time and entered the quarterfinals.

Weng Hongyang Advances to Quarterfinals

Another Chinese player, Weng Hongyang, eliminated Chou Tien-chen of Chinese Taipei. Before he finished the game and pushed the net, Chou Tien-chen had to think about life. Weng Hongyang lost 20-22 at first, but won 21-18 and 21-15 to advance to the quarterfinals with his national teammate Lei Lanxi.
