Ending the match through a rubber game, the Chinese player, Chen Yufei has to admit Tai Tzu Ying’s (TPE) quality after she lost to Tai Tzu Ying again. This result extends Tai Tzu Ying’s lead in the head-tohead statistics between these two players, where Yufei lost 9 times to Tai Tzu Ying.

After winning the first game with the score of 23-21, Yufei lost many points to Tai after the second game’s break time and she ended the game with a 15-21 loss to Tai. On the third game, Yufei failed to develop her game and lost many points to Tai Tzu Ying until she only managed to steal 9 points from Tai Tzu Ying and the game ended with a 9-21 loss to Yufei.

“On the second and third game, I was left far behind (from Tai) because of the speed, Tai Tzu Ying’s speed is better than mine so I was put under pressure,” as stated by Chen Yufei during the press conference.

The large number of supporters in Istora did not put Chen Yufei under the pressure and did not restrain her to show her capability. She claimed that she lost the game because of herself, not caused by any other things.

“I have never been bothered by the number of supporters in the stadium, the main problem was me,” she said.

After losing the Blibli Indonesia Open 2018 final, Yufei will focus on the upcoming World Championship and Asian Games.

“Now I want to focus on the upcoming World Badminton Championship and then after that I will focus and prepare myself for Asian Games,” Chen Yufei added.
