00:00THE RECORD
00:02LIZZY ZHA
00:06The second round of the Lizzy Zha tournament
00:08after winning the World Championship in Paris 2024
00:11ended in the first round of the Open China Badminton Tournament.
00:14This is the second time that Lizzy Zha has stopped in the first round
00:18after returning to the BWF Tournament in Japan.
00:21The third-place player in the world was eliminated in two games
00:24in the opening round.
00:27Although the match record with Koki Watanabe did not surpass Lizzy Zha,
00:31the Malaysian man was still able to open the seven-point gap to the opponent.
00:35However, Watanabe did not give up easily
00:37and the seven-point gap helped him to catch up with Lizzy Zha
00:41and close the gap.
00:42Watanabe's momentum continued in the first game
00:45until the player was ranked 14th in the world
00:47to reach the first game point before winning 21-15.
00:51The second game was dominated by Watanabe
00:54who took advantage of Lizzy Zha's failure to score 10-0.
00:59Lizzy Zha tried to catch up with Watanabe
01:01but unfortunately, he did not win the All-England Championship in 2021.
01:05After many mistakes,
01:07Watanabe was the only one who was able to score a goal.
01:10Watanabe's clear goal-scoring performance
01:13changed the mood of Lizzy Zha
01:15and in the end, he was forced to score 21-2
01:18to end the match in China.
01:21So your reactions on that match?
01:24Well, I think, as you can see,
01:28I was leading a little bit far from the first set
01:31and just couldn't take down the first set.
01:34And yeah, as you can see,
01:38to be honest, my condition is not yet there
01:41and I can feel it.
01:43There's so much I have to keep working on it
01:45to find back my good condition.
01:48Anything specific or just overall condition
01:51having taken a break?
01:53I mean, to be honest,
01:56I haven't spoken to media about this.
02:00I mean, after the Olympics,
02:02to be honest, my body condition is quite weird
02:04and a lot of injuries coming on.
02:06I don't know why.
02:07And I just can't get 100% recovery.
02:11But I mean, it's getting better
02:15and I can still compete in a tournament.
02:18So I mean, for the upcoming,
02:21I probably will be going to Finland Open.
02:24So hopefully there will be more good news from there.
02:28Do you want to share about those injuries?
02:31Well, I mean, like I said, it's weird.
02:35And once I train with some intensity,
02:40it will get soreness everywhere
02:43and yeah, like I said, it's weird.
02:45It's everywhere.
02:46It's elbow, it's knee, it's the back.
02:50It's getting stiff.
02:51So yeah, I mean, this is something that I have to solve it
02:56because I have to get back to 100% condition
03:01to qualify for the World Tour final as well.
