[Saba Sports News] The 2024 Indonesia Badminton
Masters recently concluded. In the mixed doubles final, the Chinese pair Zheng
Siwei and Huang Yaqiong defeated the Japanese pair Hiroki Midorikawa and Natsu
Saito 2-0, clinching the first championship of the new season. However, their
moment of joy quickly turned to sadness when Zheng Siwei accidentally broke the
trophy after the award ceremony. Huang Yaqiong hurriedly took a photo of the
broken trophy and shared it on her WeChat Moments, with Zheng Siwei
cooperating. This incident attracted ridicule from fans after Zheng Siwei later
posted the photo on social media. The combination of Zheng Siwei and Huang
Yaqiong currently holds the top ranking in the world in mixed doubles and is
considered the favorites to win the Paris Olympics. They have been playing
together since 2018 and have achieved significant successes, including winning
the silver medal in mixed doubles at the Tokyo Olympics and the gold medal in
mixed badminton at the Hangzhou Asian Games. With their wealth of competition
experience, Zheng Siwei has expressed his determination to focus on the
upcoming Paris Olympics, stating that the defeat in Tokyo was just a temporary
setback.
