The worst record in the history of Guoyu has been broken since
The 2016 BWF China Top Super Tournament ended in Fuzhou. In addition to the men's single Chen Long losing to Jorgensen, the other three finals of Guoyu also declared defeat. Among them, the women's single Sun Yu lost to the Indian titan Sindhu, the women's double Huang Dongping/Li Yinhui and the mixed doubles Zhang Nan/Li Yinhui, respectively, lost to the Korean group Zhang Yina/Li Shaoxi and the Indonesian star Ahmad/Nasir. Guoyu created the worst record in the Zhongyu Tournament in 30 years, and only got four runners-up without a championship.
Sun Yu, the female singles, competed for the championship with the runner-up of the Rio Olympics and the Indian fierce daughter Sindhu. In the semi-finals, Sun Yu defeated the famous Chinese Taipei player Dai Ziying in two straight sets, while Sindhu fought hard to reverse the South Korean star Cheng Chi Hyun in three sets. The two sides have played five times before, and Sun Yu has the upper hand with 3 wins and 2 losses.
In the first game, Sun Yu entered the state slowly. After coming up, he fell behind by a big score, and made many mistakes. He was completely suppressed by his opponent at 8-20. After recovering 3 innings, Sun Yu lost miserably 11-21. In the second game, Sun Yu was still passive in the first half, falling behind 7-11 during the timeout, until he scored 6 points in a row at 10-14 to achieve a reverse overtake, and scored 4 points in a row after 16 draws, recovering a game at 21-17. In the decider, Sun Yu was completely passive after 6 draws, and the continuous loss of points was completely suppressed by Sindhu. After losing another game at 11-21, he lost to his opponent. Sindhu won the women's singles championship in the Super Tournament for the first time
In the women's doubles final, Huang Dongping/Li Yinhui defeated the Korean combination Zhang Yina/Li Shaoxi of Guoyu sisters Hua Luoying/Luo Yu in the semifinals. The two sides had met three times before, and Huang Dongping/Li Yinhui won once. At the beginning of the first game, the two sides could still form a stalemate, but after 7-8, the Chinese combination lost 5 points in a row, and was separated by the Korean combination, losing one game 13-21. In the second game, Huang Dongping/Li Yinhui launched a counterattack. After 3-2, they scored 5 points in a row to establish their advantage. Although they were once chased by their opponents to only 2 points, they made another effort at the end of the game and recovered a game with 21-14. The tiebreaker Huang Dongping/Li Yinhui took the lead in the first half, but after 8-4, they lost points one after another, and after 10-7, they lost 5 points in a row. After chasing to 12 draws, Huang Dongping/Li Yinhui gradually fell behind, and was suppressed by the opponent to lose another game 17-21.
In the mixed doubles final, Zhang Nan/Li Yinhui faced Indonesian star and Rio Olympic champion Ahmed/Nasir. The two pairs met for the first time. Li Yinhui, who had played the women's doubles final before, obviously suffered from physical problems. In the first game, the new pair was not in the state, and many mistakes were completely suppressed by powerful opponents. He lost one game at 13-21. In the second game, Zhang Nan/Li Yinhui started well and took a 7-3 lead, but Ahmed/Nasir soon caught up to 7 draws. The two sides were tied all the way. Zhang Nan/Li Yinhui scored 4 points in a row after 16-15, but after 19-15, they seemed a little conservative, losing 5 points in a row and sending out match points. Zhang Nan/Li Yinhui chased to 20 draws, and the two pairs were stuck until 22 draws. Zhang Nan/Li Yinhui seized the opportunity and scored 2 points in a row to win 24-22. The decider Zhang Nan/Li Yinhui got off to a bad start, and they lost 6 points in a row and fell into a passive position. Although they caught up to 7-9 after that, they fell into a passive losing streak of 5 points again. Entering the middle game, although Zhang Nan/Li Yinhui still fought tenaciously, they finally lost 16-21 and fell to the runner-up in three games.
There was no Chinese group in the men's doubles final. Indonesian group Fenaldi/Sukamjo competed for the championship with Danish famous Morganson/Bowie. The competition between the two sides was fierce, and Fenaldi/Sukamjo performed better. In two straight games, they beat Morganson/Bowie 21-18 and 22-20 to win the men's doubles championship.
Since the China Open was held in 1986, Guoyu has won at least two championships this year, but this time the China Championship failed to win a single championship, setting the worst record in history.
