[Saba Sports News] In the previous women’s singles semi-final of the Paris Badminton World Championships, Chen Yufei engaged in a fierce battle with world number one An Se-young. During the second game, Chen Yufei accidentally sprained her ankle while moving back for a shot, falling to the ground in pain. However, Chen Yufei showed incredible perseverance, receiving only simple stabilization and cold spray treatment before returning to the court to eliminate An Se-young. In the final, Chen Yufei played injured. Although she ultimately lost 0-2 to Japanese player Akane Yamaguchi, her tenacity moved all fans. After returning to China, according to Chen Yufei’s studio, experts recommended three weeks of rest. It was originally thought that Chen Yufei would miss this China Badminton Masters, but based on the current situation, it is highly likely she will overcome her injury and appear at the Shenzhen venue. Previously, Chen Yufei had posted a video of her hospital follow-up examination and also participated in pre-tournament venue adaptation training. Photos show her injured right ankle bandaged. Although competing injured means results may not be her primary goal this time, fans all hope she can recover soon and complete the tournament healthy.
