“It’s time for us to enhance our skills,” remarked Zheng Si Wei after securing their sixth consecutive championship title at the PERODUA Malaysia Masters 2022 alongside Huang Ya Qiong. The impressive winning streak of 30 matches since their partnership began in late April at the Badminton Asia Championships begs the question – was Zheng genuinely expressing concern or merely showcasing humility? Zheng was specifically referring to their second instance of being on the verge of defeat against Yang Po-Hsuan/Hu Ling Fang at the Malaysia Masters.

During a discussion about their opponents’ successful strategies against them, Zheng added, “We found ourselves at a disadvantage and had no opportunity to review our videos or analyze our gameplay. We need to go back, scrutinize our performance, and devise a suitable training plan.”

Zheng and Huang are on a 30-match unbeaten streak.

As the TotalEnergies BWF World Championships 2022 draws near, Zheng and Huang are highly likely to claim the title, yet the memory of their defeat in the final of the Tokyo Olympics last year tempers their own expectations. Winning a silver medal at the Olympics is undoubtedly an impressive achievement, but the loss has profoundly shaped their journey over the past year. They briefly collaborated with new partners, experiencing mixed success, and their alliance seemed to reach a premature and anticlimactic conclusion.

However, their fire was reignited at the Badminton Asia Championships when they emerged victorious with a score of 21-17 21-8 against reigning Olympic champions Wang Yi Lyu/Huang Dong Ping in the final. Reflecting on their resurgence, Zheng stated, “The Asian Championships was crucial for us. It was the tournament that reignited our passion. Winning that title not only boosted our confidence but also greatly motivated us.”

Although Zheng and Huang were already an impressive pair during their initial partnership, they now exhibit heightened determination. What fuels their insatiable hunger for success? Huang remarked, “We don’t consider ourselves unbeatable, but we’ve adequately prepared. We have matured and become more stable. Our experiences with different partners allowed us to understand our individual strengths, which we can now utilize to enhance our partnership.”

Their unwavering physical intensity, coupled with their refusal to settle for their current achievements, positions the duo to attain even greater milestones. The loss at the Tokyo Olympics served as both a painful setback and a wake-up call. Zheng acknowledged this, saying, “Undoubtedly, our defeat at the Olympic Games had a significant impact on us. It wounded us, fueled our determination, and taught us to cultivate mental stability.”
