The Indonesia Open just ended and Antonton won the match this year. This is an excellent campaign for Antonsen and the highlight of the game I want to discuss is the semifinal between Antonsen and Shi Yuqi. Let’s dig deeper.

In the first game, Shi Yuqi did what he usually does by quickly driving on the court, launching a quick attack and changing the pace of the attack. It was so devastating that Antonsen was blitzed.

Blitz The term I use to explain things to Fred, which is the badminton equivalent shellshock. When a player attacks and is able to win many points in a fast and continuous manner, the opponent is in a state of incredible, confusing and lack of self-confidence. It will be difficult for an opponent to send back the simplest shot. At that time, when the opponent would lose the game, he would feel confused and frustrated when he got coaching at halftime intervals. The coach can snatch him from it, otherwise the player can win easily, while the opponent can shower and fly home early.

Lee Zii Jia uses this strategy to make a huge impact. When his attack succeeds, he seems to win easily and is unstoppable. He is often able to splurge his opponents in two games. However, when an opponent can withstand his own blitz, Li Zi Jia often runs out of ideas, and often loses when his blitz tactics don’t work.

On this day, Shi Yuqi managed to shine in the first game and easily won 21-9. His favorite attack is the brief off-road course, performed by intercepting opponents’ shots on the back-row service line. Shi Yuqi can perform this crushing from the head and forehand side. However, his preference was from the top of his head, the whole court’s preference for him.

After a disastrous first game, Antson and his brother were his coaches, and he determined the attack. When Shi Yuqi attacks, he may choose to use the action to gain a point of view. Therefore, Antonsen intends to find this move to counter it.

But that’s not the only thing Anttons does. He has to raise his pace and get faster. He must take the initiative and attack Shiya Yuqi to limit his opposing attacks. When Shi Yuqi attacks, he needs to be prepared for this move.

An example is the rally, when the score is 11 points at 11 to Antson’s Shiya Yuqi scored 8. Antonsen keeps the frequency of shuttles as much as possible, thus limiting Shi Yuqi’s chances of attacking. When Shi Yuqi had a chance to attack, he fired his favorite shot. Antonton was looking for it so he could get it back. Eventually, Antonden lost the rally, but the signal was sent. He is looking for Shi Yuqi’s favorite shots and he is bringing them back.

Shi Yuqi noticed this, and he made some changes to his attack by slamming the cross court to the other side. Settling down is also for this. If he is going to look for cross-country stadium crushing, then look for cross-country crushing on the other side!

Even in the pursuit of this attack, Antonsen would not be able to retrieve everyone. Sometimes, Shiya Yuqi will be able to figure out his stain. As Antonsen’s favor shows that ages 17 to 20. But by then it didn’t matter much that Shi Yuqi lost the next point, while Antonsen won the second game 18-21.

Shi Yuqi once again launched his favorite offense when Antonsen managed to defend the game when he led 11-6 in Game 3. The game plan for the pressured Shi Yuqi of Antonsen is working, and it’s a few chance Shi Yuqi can attack with the crush, choosing to do his favorite crush, while Antonsen is waiting for it.

Aparton does decide the game now. Shi Yuqi cannot easily score. And because of his despair, even if the situation is not ideal, he makes more use of his favorite attacks. And, this will only make it easier for Anttons to defend against it, and even get points from defense.

This is a significant shift in Anchorton. In the first game, he was really upset. He turned the situation around by playing more aggressive games and gave Shiya Yuqi less chances of attack. Shi Yuqi did launch an attack, and he neutralized Shi Yuqi’s most powerful weapon. This frustrated Shiya Yuqi, who had to turn to points for a portion of his usual game.

It can be said that Shiya Yuqi became the world number one by relying on his favorite crush. This is not an exaggeration. The last time he met Antonsen and played his usual game, Antonsen had no answer to this. Every long gathering won this with Shiites with this crush or the variant on the other side. Shi Yuqi is happy with his favorite offense. Too comfortable. When Antonsen took it out of the equation, he had to resort to other means to earn points, and he seemed a little lazy to prepare for these types of situations.

In the third game, Shi Yuqi looked like he had no idea. He relies on long gatherings and simple attacks. The body caused him damage. Antonsen is more suitable when training like a long-distance runner. He was about to walk away. Shi Yuqi, with his build, seems more like a powerful sprinter than a long-distance runner. As Shi Yuqi became more and more tired, his thoughts became clearer. This allowed Antson to read his game and control him.

Antonsen is the well-deserved winner today, and ultimately the Indonesia Open. The game is very good. Well done, Antonsen. I really like his antics on his YouTube channel. It is rare to have such a fun person, and so top players. keep it up!

That’s it.
