stormed into the badminton men's singles final at the Hangzhou Asian Games by beating Prannoy Haseena Sunil Kumar of India on Friday.The 23-year-old Li triumphed 21-16, 21-9 in 51 minutes, ending his winless streak against Kumar, as he had done against Indonesia's Anthony Sinisuka Ginting in the quarterfinal a day earlier, said Xinhua.
“I haven’t won against Prannoy before and I feel very happy to beat such an opponent,“ said Li. “I’m just trying to do my best.”“To be honest, I have been tired recently, but I have adjusted my mindset well, and the cheers of the audience also makes me more competitive and motivated,“ Li stated.In their latest encounter, the All England Open final in March, Li defeated Shi in straight games.
The 21-year-old talent is considered the most outstanding player this year as she became the first South Korean female to be crowned world champion in the singles category, and rose to world No 1 in August.“Trying hard has become my habit, and I have no other secrets, I just concentrate on training,“ she added.
An's final opponent is home favorite Chen Yufei, who bounced back to knock out Japan's Aya Ohori 18-21, 21-10, 21-8. In the mixed doubles, top seeds Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong rallied to beat newly-crowned world champions Seo Seung-jae and Chae Yu-jung 13-21, 21-15, 21-16. The Chinese duo will play against Japan's Yuta Watanabe and Arisa Higashino, who dispatched fellow Chinese pair Feng Yanzhe and Huang Dongping in full games.
