The World Championships are in a big reversal! Shi Yuqi wants to become the "unbreakable egg"

At the Paris World Badminton Championships, Shi Yuqi once again showed his big heart.

On the evening of August 28, against host player Popov in the quarterfinals, Shi Yuqi won the game first and lost a big score behind in the finals, creating a reversal of the game. The champion of the

World Championship is his current goal, and he is also approaching his dream title step by step.

After experiencing the failures and struggles of the Olympics, Shi Yuqi is still growing and fighting, and as he said, he has become a "unbreakable egg".

Shi Yuqi staged a reversal drama.

The big score is behind, and the big heart is reversed

As the top seed of the tournament, Shi Yuqi is undoubtedly one of the favorites to win the men's singles championship in this World Championships, but the progress of the game will not be without any twists and turns. In the 18th final, Shi Yuqi encountered a severe test. In the first game, Shi Yuqi was seized by his opponent at the end of the game and lost a game 20-22. However, in the second game, Shi Yuqi immediately launched a counterattack and equalized the big score 21-13.

Entering the decisive game, Shi Yuqi was once again forced to the edge of the cliff - once encountered a situation of 6 points behind 5-11, but once again, Shi Yuqi played his tenacity.

In the process of chasing points, Shi Yuqi played steadily and patiently looked for opportunities. Even if the opponent used "tricks" to delay time and interrupt the rhythm of the game, such as finding referees to communicate, wiping the floor, etc., to delay time and interrupt the rhythm of the game, it still could not affect Shi Yuqi's victory little by little.

21 to 18, Shi Yuqi created a soul-stirring reversal and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the tournament.

"The opponent was rushing fiercely, trying every point with all his might. I can't give in here, so I will take action decisively." Looking back on this contest, Shi Yuqi admitted that in addition to technology, this is also a psychological confrontation.

"The final key points basically have no physical fitness problem, it depends on who can do it." In the end, Shi Yuqi became the one who made it.

Shi Yuqi hopes that he can meet the challenges with a normal mind.

Be calmer, more calm mind

A wonderful reversal battle allows everyone to see Shi Yuqi's fighting spirit on the court again. However, in addition to persistence, he repeatedly mentioned three other words after the game: a normal mind.

"It is better to deal with every player and every ball with a normal mind. When you fall behind, you will try to control your emotions and focus as much as possible on finding loopholes in your opponents."

In fact, this mentality is also a requirement that Shi Yuqi puts for himself during the entire competition. Previously, after winning the first game, he said that he should "look at this game normally". "Although the World Championships are very important and are very important to anyone, and I also hope to win this title, they still have to play one game after another."

, including before the game, he also kept reminding himself, "People still focus on the present, don't deliberately do anything, take the World Championships so seriously, and prepare for the game normally at his own pace."

At present, Shi Yuqi's control of the mentality of the competition has achieved positive results. Zhang Jun, chairman of the Chinese Badminton Association, also saw his growth.

"His comprehensive ability is getting stronger and stronger, especially in his ability to withstand pressure." Zhang Jun said when talking about Shi Yuqi's prospects for the championship in this World Championships.

"He has been playing well before the Paris Olympics, but he just said that he failed to play well in the Olympics (stopped to the quarterfinals). Through these experiences, his skills have become more mature this year and his psychology has become more stable."

Shi Yuqi greeted the audience.

The egg that became "can't smash"

In an interview, Shi Yuqi once gave a very wonderful metaphor: competitive sports is like smashing a basket of eggs on the wall, and it is difficult to stay in a complete one.

"Because there is always only one champion, for example, 32 eggs smashed on the wall, basically all broken. It may take up all the right time, place, people, and the one that is not broken is the champion."

And Shi Yuqi himself has gone through the cracks again and again, "It was smashed, sticked, picked up and smashed, and he has been walking on the road like this, but it may be slower for a while."

Past failures have created Shi Yuqi, who is now more tenacious. As he said, "Many of his own experiences are actually not owned by ordinary people. Then being able to recover from these experiences, break through and challenge himself is also a great improvement."

This year, he not only topped the All England Championship again after 7 years, but later won the Cup in the Japan Open and the China Open "back to back", and gathered all four Super 1000 Championships in the World Badminton Federation. It seems that after experiencing ups and downs, Shi Yuqi has found his best self again.

At this year's World Championships, can Shi Yuqi become the egg that can't be broken and win his first World Championships? This is his own expectation, and of course the expectation of Chinese badminton spectators.
