For the IELTS group, in the face of the Korean group, their past win rate is relatively high, in the Chinese Masters badminton Championship half a month ago, they are also in the final to face a pair of South Korean mixed doubles duo Xu Zaicheng and CAI Youding, the strength of the Korean pair than today they face the strength of the Korean group, when the IELTS group is 2:0, Each game was easier to win, and they all won by double digits. Beat the Korean team. Although the strength of South Korea's mixed doubles combination is also relatively strong, but the IELTS combination is often more experienced when playing them.
But did not expect today's game to play extremely difficult, a lost a set, which may put the rhythm of the two people to disrupt, before the relatively easy game, did not expect today is becoming so difficult. In the second set of the game, the situation did not say too good, just said that two people use the advantage of strength and experience on the advantage, to be able to bite the score, but many times faced with desperation, will soon lose the edge, are gritted through. In an interview after the game, Zheng Siwei said why this happened.
