BWF World Tour: Lee Cheuk Yiu Advances to Semifinals

News | BWF World Tour

Lee Cheuk Yiu, the Hong Kong China player, made an impressive comeback by reaching the semifinals of the HSBC BWF World Tour after a year-long absence. This achievement marks a significant moment for Lee, who hasn’t been among the top four men’s singles players since the Denmark Open last year.

In the quarterfinals, Lee faced a tough opponent, Lu Guang Zu, but he refused to give in and showed great determination. After a grueling 65-minute match, Lee emerged victorious with a 21-14, 11-21, 21-18 scoreline. Reflecting on his win, Lee remained focused on the task at hand and emphasized the importance of proper warm-down, rest, and nutrition before his next match.

Lee’s upcoming semifinal opponent, Rasmus Gemke, is equally determined to claim the title. Gemke secured his spot in the semifinals after a hard-fought victory over Kunlavut Vitidsarn, the World Championships silver medallist. Gemke, who lost in the semifinals of the Indonesia Open last year, expressed his desire to become a champion as well.

The road to the finals won’t be easy for Lee, but he is determined to make a strong comeback. The last time he reached a final was in 2019 when he won his home tournament, the Hong Kong Open. Gemke, on the other hand, was the runner-up at the 2020 Denmark Open.
