China's Chen Yufei, B-12 number one Chinese Taipei's Tai Tsuiying, in a thrilling two-sets to one final of a women's batman singles at Tokyo 2020. The top two seats fought hard for 81 minutes to claim the title. Chen, 23, took the first set and Tai, 27, the second and it all went down to a tense final game with a new sashino forest sport plaza on 1st August. Chen, a world championship medalist who was making her Olympic debut, went up 10-3 but Tai dug in and crawled back points but was still behind 18-15. The Chinese athlete screamed when she got the 19th point, relieved to put more distance between them, but Tai, came back again and it was soon 19-17. It came down to which athlete could hold the nerve the longest. At 20-17 Tai, got one back but Chen, closed out the match at 21-18. By now both athletes were exhausted. Tai, who got into the last 16 in Rio 2016, had hoped to stamp her country's dominance on the sport after her Chinese Taipei's compatriots Wang Kailin and Li Yang overpowered China's L.I. Junhui and Yu-Yu Chen in the men's doubles batminton final the day before. While champion and Rio 2016 silver medalist India's Pusala V Sindhu took home the bronze medal after beating China's he-bing Zhao by two sets. 21-13, 21-15. I'm very happy, it's unbelievable, said Chen after the grueling match. I fought about this, dreamed about this, but I knew that to achieve it is not easy. I don't remember what happened after the winning point. I don't even remember what I did, I was just blank. On winning silver, Tai said she was pleased with her performance, but admitted she had made too many mistakes in the third game. I think I did pretty well today, but my opponent did even better. I made too many mistakes in the third game. It's an old problem of mine, that's a pity, that was unnecessary. I tried hard to catch up, but I had just made too many mistakes before. On whether she will retire after Tokyo 2020, she added, I will play until the end of this year. If ever comes after that, I'll think about it. Paris 2024 feels very far away now. I've been playing for half my life, and I just want to have a good rest first. Thanks for watching. Please, like, share, subscribe and comment down below.
