Huaidong Tang tames William Liang in final round of 2012 ACBA Kumpoo Junior Open
Australia’s budding shuttler Huaidong Tang served notice of his potential in the final round of 2012 ACBA Kumpoo Junior Open and became Boy’s Singles Under-17 champion on December 8, 2012.
He outclassed the compatriot player William Liang in the local badminton arena of Penshurst, Australia and claimed the trophy with an impressive result of 21-19 and 21-17.
The top seeded Huaidong relished full benefits of his superiority and sealed a splendid straight-set victory.
He set the foundation of his supremacy in very first set and maintained that upper hand all the way to final moments.
In the opening game, he unleashed a flurry of productive strokes and established a significant lead in no time.
Huaidong did not squander this initial advantage and transformed it into an indomitable total in next couple of rallies.
On the other hand, William looked completely confused as he could not follow an effective counterattack strategy.
He remained busy just in returning the masterly crafted strokes of his rival and this passive approach resulted in an ordinary figure at the half time.
Meanwhile, Huaidong kept mounting pressure and finished first half of the set with a notable margin of 11.
However, he lost focus immediately after the break and allowed the opposing shuttler to come out of the deficit.
The other Australian campaigner bagged many points in a row and levelled the score in third quarter of the set.
William remained equal until game point situation but then few unforced errors brought him down. He surrendered after reading 19-21 score on the board.
Next game had nothing to offer him as it was completely dominated by the talented youngster Huaidong.
This time he played with great control and confounded his competitor with a fine blend of power packed smashes and deceiving drop net shots.
He made his intentions clear straight away in the establishing rallies when he clinched many vital points without any interruption.
Next couple of rallies saw him injecting more intensity in his attack and smacking William down with a staggering knock of 21-17.
This was a wrap and Huaidong earned the right to be on top of the victory stand in 2012 ACBA Kumpoo Junior Open.
