The German player was shocked by his opponent in the first set, but the two players fought hard until the last two points and then settled down to take the first place with 11-9. Franziska continued her dominance in the second game, hitting her own looping shots to take the lead at 11-8, giving her a 2-0 lead in the match.
However, in the course of the match, Franziska became unwell and had to interrupt the match for treatment before the start of the third game, and then suffered a major drop in form, losing two consecutive 8-11 to be dragged into the deciding game.
In the fifth game, Franziska still couldn’t find her form, and the quality of her own attack was already declining, and she couldn’t withstand the onslaught of Park Kang-hyun, so the match came to an end with another 8-11 loss.
Despite this loss, taking care of his health is undoubtedly more important for Franziska at the moment – at 32 years old, he has already dropped out of the German men’s game and failed to make the roster for last year’s Olympics in Paris, and the upcoming cycle in Los Angeles will be of great importance for his career, but everything needs to be in good shape as a guarantee. But everything needs a good body as a guarantee: good luck for a speedy recovery.
