    With the win in Aus, he should be good for Malaysia open right? Hopefully he does well there and start working his way up to seeded positions asap. Can’t afford to keep meeting top players in the early rounds.

    It will depend on his drawing, must win several top level tournaments to catapult his low WR into top-8 rapidly.

    Very unpredictable with all those old points in the calculation so we will have to wait for the end of the year when those 2020 finally expire. But it looks like he will be ok for entering the Malaysian Open.

    It looks like we can expect ups and downs in his results as he is still trying to get his tournament match play feel back.

    Remember when Momota first got banned? He had to play the lower level tournaments first which gave him time to accumulate ranking points and more chances to get match feeling back.

    SYQ has gone straight back into high level tournaments.

    It had been removed, the current transition period is working to drop 2021 points gradually (not based on last 12-month basis)
    No problem for Shi YQ to take part MAS & IND Open and starting to accumulate point.

    If he wins MAS or at least get into the final, would his ranking stop dropping?

    Sorry. I was thinking of the other players who still have old ranking points contributing to their ranking.

    Is it still the transition period?

    Yes, the normalcy will return on 3rd January 2023 and we'll see new formation of MS top-10 world ranking where Naraoka and Prannoy join the elites.

    The point result in 2023 MAS Open etc. will be added automatically because his participation still less than 10 tournaments.

    Its crazy that he played well but gets knockout in the first round. He really needs to get his ranking back up so he wont meet top players so early.

    The Taiwanese player also won against Ng Ka Long (a veteran of the top 10-25 ranks) pretty convincingly; he beat Shi Yuqi 21-15, 21-19 but that last shot struck the net and rolled over, it did seem like Shi upped his game too late.

    He lost 21-18, 21-17 against LZJ in Indo Masters and 21-19, 22-20 against Naraoka in Chinese Taipei Open before that.

    I think he’s probably surprised SYQ with his left handedness and quality (aside from being a relative unknown for him); doubt it’s anything to worry about.

    Did he really collapse in the second game cos of the pressure? If so, he needs to figure that out, imagine if its the world championship or olympics final. He really had a huge chance of winning the title today, kinda sad the way the second game went.

    There were quite a few one-sides sets today, for whatever reason : )

    For sure Shi Yuqi wanted very much to win his first top tier Super 1000 tournament since his comeback from a long hiatus, to prove himself capable of returning to top rank and boost his morale, regain his self-confidence, inner belief, as well as put that demoralizing incident behind him.

    Noticed how he started G1 sprightly with an air of confidence and raced off to a good start , leading by 8-3 at one point and staying ahead until 18-17 before LSF leveled up and eventually winning the long deuce exchanges by 26-24. I believe that narrow loss in G1 unsettled him and, at the same time, it made him realized that his stubborn opponent was able to return quite a lot of his shots, which forced him to think that he had to go for the lines and play the perfect shots with little margin for error.

    In G2, that's probably how SYQ started off but , unfortunately , it quickly resulted in him making one error after another and before he knew it, he was falling far behind as he lost his touch and with it his heart , a shocking 21-5 defeat.

    For your information, lest you think SYQ's G2 score is an ignominious defeat at the hands of LSF, mind you, Kento Momota was inflicted an even more humiliating two straight game loss with 21-11 and 21-7 by the same protagonist, Li Shifeng, at the previous week's German Open; not to mention, Lin Chun-Yi too, winner of the Thai Master tourney in February, was handed a 21-7 G1 drubbing by the same LSF, also at the said German Open.

    So, in conclusion, I'd say such a one-sided score is no longer an anomaly, even among top exponents.

    SYQ never really had a #1 status within the Chinese team but after tonight's heavy defeat and seeing how LSF rose to the top so fast... I'm afraid it is the beginning of the end for SYQ.
