Dominate the badminton world

Chapter 324

The India Badminton Open is the fourth stop of the 2014 BWF Super Series.

本届赛事于2014年4月1日至4月6日在印度新德里的西里堡综合运动场举行，总奖金为25万美元。

In terms of men's singles in this India Open, except for Wang Yu and Li Zongwei who participated, other players are difficult to arouse the interest of the audience.

As the number one in the world, Li Zongwei is naturally the number one seed in this competition.

After the All England Open, Wang Yu's total points were updated to 109403 points, surpassing Tommy Sugiarto and becoming the third in the world, second only to Chen Long's current points, 110089 points!
Therefore, the position of the second seed is none other than Wang Yu.

Compared with other open tournaments, the Indian Open does not have much prize money. Wang Yu came to participate because it is a super tournament, and his basic points are at least 9200 points.

Except for Wang Yu, the rest of the Chinese men's singles team had to go to the qualifiers to start playing. Fortunately, on April Fool's Day, God didn't make a joke on the Chinese team. Huang Xiangyu, Chen Yuekun, and Gao Huan all won and advanced to the first round.

Wang Yu's opponent in the first round was a teenager from Denmark named Victor Axelsen.

Wang Yu didn't have much interest in the opponents who advanced to the qualifying round. He didn't even go to the arena during the qualifying round, but stayed in the hotel to rest.

It was not until the afternoon of April 4, when it was his turn to compete, that Wang Yu set off from the hotel slowly, took a special car to the gymnasium, and then, accompanied by security personnel, entered the gymnasium for inspection.

But when Wang Yu saw an unusually tall figure at the inspection office, he was instantly stunned.

"It turned out to be him!" Looking at the big young man in front of him, Wang Yu suddenly smiled.

"Hello!" The big man also saw Wang Yu, with a nervous expression on his face, then stretched out his hand and greeted Wang Yu in broken Chinese.

"Hello." Wang Yu nodded slightly, and took the initiative to shake hands with the other party, which flattered the big man, and even his pure white face was slightly flushed.

The big man is Wang Yu's opponent in the first round, Victor Axelsen, a teenager from Denmark, whose actual age is the same as Wang Yu's, both 20 years old.

Axelsen is two or three months younger than Wang Yu and turned 1 in January.

But his height is incredible, a few centimeters taller than Chen Long, reaching a terrifying 195cm!

Wang Yu also knows that Axelsen has a Chinese name, a name that will be very famous in the world badminton world in the future: An Sailong!

Wang Yu has always wanted to meet Axelsen, but unfortunately, Wang Yu has never met him once after participating in so many competitions before.

Later, as Wang Yu's ranking and reputation became higher and higher, Wang Yu knew that the possibility of meeting Axelsen was even lower.

In Wang Yu's mind, the probability of encountering An Sailong will only increase after he grows up.

As far as Wang Yu knows, Axelsen's rise came 16 years later, also after Chen Long's peak period.

But just when Wang Yu had forgotten about it, he met again by chance.

Wang Yu shook his head slightly, and walked into the athlete's tunnel with his bag in hand.

"So he's so approachable..." An Sailong looked at Wang Yu's back curiously, with a look of excitement on his face, he quickly picked up his ball bag, and happily followed Wang Yu to catch up.

As soon as Wang Yu walked out of the athlete's tunnel, there were excited cheers from the fans. After being felt by Axelsen behind Wang Yu, his whole body was shocked.

"One day, I want to be as popular as him!" Ansailong silently clenched his fists, looked at Wang Yu's back that was not tall in his eyes, and secretly set a goal for himself.

Wang Yu and Axelsen soon walked to the court that belonged to their men's singles match. After putting down the bag, the two went to the court to pick sides and warm up.

Axelsen's face was flushed, like a little boy, when he was pulling the high ball with Wang Yu, he kept smiling.

"Are you so happy to play against me?" Wang Yu had a weird face, but he also kept a faint smile on his face.

A moment later, when Wang Yu and Axelsen were warming up, the referee announced: "...on my right, Victor Axelsen, Denmark, on my left, Wang Yu, China, Wang Yu serve, match Start, 0 to 0."

After the cheers subsided, Wang Yu lightly sent the badminton to Axelsen in front of him.

Axelsen directly picked the badminton to Wang Yu to the left backcourt, as if asking Wang Yu to smash the ball to show him, and then made preparations to catch the smash.

Wang Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, and moved to the left backcourt in small steps. When he came to the landing point of the badminton, he kicked his feet on the ground, launching his body into the air like a jet.

boom!
Under Wang Yu's racket, the badminton was endowed with a speed of nearly [-] kilometers per hour, which caught Ansailong off guard at all, and caused Ansailong's eyes to blur. When he saw the ball clearly again, the badminton had already passed from his feet. Sliding to the backcourt.

"1-0."

An Sailong was directly shaken to death by Wang Yu's slap, causing An Sailong's whole body to tremble, and he was shocked on the spot.

"It's too strong!" Ansailong was killed by Wang Yu's slap. Apart from being shocked, there were lights in his eyes, like a ship lost in the sea seeing a lighthouse.

"Flat?" Axelsen came to the backcourt, picked up the badminton on the ground, and was shocked again.

After handing over the badminton to the serving referee, Axelsen came to the left to prepare for receiving the serve.

After Wang Yu changed the badminton, he continued to send small balls to Axelsen.

This time, Axelsen did not pick the ball again, but moved the badminton to Wang Yu's right front court, and it was relatively close to the net.

Wang Yu stepped forward, came to the right front court, stretched out his racket and picked it vigorously, and picked the badminton straight to Axelsen's left back court.

Axelsen's strides are very big, he retreated to the left backcourt in two steps, then took off, appeared at a height rarely seen, and then hit the badminton with the racket in his hand and dropped it.

boom!
The badminton seemed to have turned into a smashing ball from the third floor, and with a dull bombardment sound, it rushed straight to the field area on Wang Yu's right.

Ansailong's smash shot is extremely powerful, and the speed is estimated to be no less than [-] kilometers per hour.

But in Wang Yu's eyes, it was obviously not enough. Wang Yu took a step to the right, stretched out his racket to block, and blocked the badminton along the diagonal line to Ansailong's right front court.

Axelsen was confident in killing the ball with one blow, but it was easily resolved by Wang Yu, which made him smile wryly. He could only rush to the right front court, passively rubbed the ball in a low position, and shoveled the badminton back to Wang Yu's left front field.

Wang Yu knew that Ansailong could only release the net, so he had been waiting for a long time. The moment the badminton passed the net, Wang Yu accelerated his speed, grabbed the ball, and with a backhand, quickly pushed the badminton back to Ansailong's left backcourt direction.

Because Axelsen's center of gravity was too low and because he was too tall, it was too late to catch up with the shuttlecock, so he could only watch the shuttlecock fall to the backcourt.

"2-0."

Ansailong was a little dumbfounded, but his fighting spirit was still high.

"It's really strong..." An Sailong clenched his fists, walked to the backcourt, and muttered: "I finally have the opportunity to fight him, I must cherish it!"
