我国羽球小将杨佳敏昨日(22日)成功击败越南选手武氏庄,成为新加坡首名晋级世界羽毛球锦标赛女单八强的女子单打球员。 这名20岁的女球员昨天在一场持续一个多小时的比赛中,以21比15,14比21,21比16的成绩,击败在世界排名第74位的27岁武氏庄。她表示这一成就让她“高兴和兴奋不已,还要努力,争取走得更远”。 次局开始时,杨佳敏以1比3落后,但是在追成4平后,比赛就脱离其掌控。她也在比赛中申请一个短时医疗暂停。“我一直感觉背部有些不舒服,每次赛前都尽量把身体调整好,全力以赴。第二局开始时,我速度比较慢,对手控制多一些,自己没能反控,还跟着对手的节奏,让她慢慢变得更稳定”。 然而,在最后一场赛事时,武氏庄的球碰网落地,杨佳敏也松一口气地双膝跪地,紧闭双眼和紧握双拳,对夺下胜利的一刻感到激动不已。 “我感到很宽慰,因为我决心要赢得比赛。” “我已经专注于比赛,并且尽力做好自己能做的事情。” 在之前,杨佳敏在日前的瑞士巴塞尔羽毛球世界锦标赛中,成功击败世界排名第一的山口茜。 目前在世界排名第32位的杨佳敏,将在下轮比赛对垒泰国的拉差诺·因达农(Ratchanok Intanon)。因达农在之前的比赛中,以18比21,23比21和21比10拿下了印度尼西亚的格蕾戈丽亚·玛丽斯卡·东宗(Gregoria Mariska Tunjung)。 杨佳敏今年首次在海得拉巴羽毛球公开赛(Hyderabad Open)女单决赛中获胜,赢得她的首个冠军头衔。
