On Friday, the BWF Super Series Finals continued in Dubai with the second day of competition. In the men’s singles group stage, Chinese player Chen Long earned his second consecutive victory by defeating Hong Kong’s Hu Yun in straight sets, 2-0. This strong start in the group phase has brought him closer to the knockout rounds, with fans tracking every update through the Melbet App.
The second game saw a commanding 9-0 lead by Chen Long, a dream start that he later described modestly. “I wasn’t thinking too much at that moment,” he said. “I just wanted to stay focused.” Prior to this match, Chen Long and Hu Yun had faced each other eight times, with Chen winning six of those encounters. In the opening game, Chen initially trailed 4-9 but quickly found his rhythm. By the mid-game break, he had turned the tide and led 11-10. Riding the momentum, he went on to claim the first game 21-17. Reflecting on the slow start, Chen remarked, “I’ve played against Yun many times. He has his own playing style, and I was a bit slow getting into the match.”
In the second game, Chen’s form continued to improve. The early 9-0 lead essentially sealed the outcome, and he went on to win the game 21-12. With two group wins under his belt, Chen Long has already secured a spot in the semifinals. His final group match will be against Denmark’s Jan O Jorgensen. Regardless of that match’s result, Chen is guaranteed to advance. Asked about his approach to the upcoming match, he said, “I’ll take it easy and just enjoy the game.”
Throughout this season, Chen Long has displayed remarkable consistency, having won seven men’s singles titles so far. “This year, I’ve been quite steady,” he said. His focus now is on finishing the year strong with a solid showing in the tournament’s final stages. When asked whether he considered his season to be perfect, Chen replied, “I’m aiming for consistency, not perfection.”
