Editor's Note:
At the China Masters semifinals in Shenzhen on September 5, Chinese shuttler Wang Zhiyi lost to Japan's Tomoka Miyazaki in straight games, 19-21 and 21-23. In her post-match interview, Wang reflected on her performance, noting that she had been proactive in the first game but was affected by her opponent's strong plays and her own unforced errors. She acknowledged struggling with rhythm and composure during key moments, and although she tried to reset herself, she couldn't execute the decisive shots needed. Despite the loss, she said she gained valuable experience on court. Miyazaki, meanwhile, expressed excitement about reaching her first final in a long time, saying she felt tired but thrilled.
