The Chinese badminton team regained the Uber Cup and Thomas Cup after 12 years, but left three major regrets and shortcomings behind the double championship. First of all, Chen Yufei and He Bingjiao did not compete with strong players such as Akane Yamaguchi and An Xiying, then Leung Weihang/Wang Chang lost to two strong opponents in succession, and finally Li Shifeng played unstable.
Chen Yufei did not lose a game to defeat her opponent in both the group stage and the knockout round, and was the hero of the national feather winning the You Cup. Although he played well, it is a pity that he did not encounter particularly strong opponents in this Cup, especially Akane Yamaguchi and An Seying among the Big4 members. If you look at it according to the draw table, Chen Yufei actually has a hope of playing Akane Yamaguchi in the semifinals.
Helplessly, the Japanese team chose Akane Yamaguchi to play instead of Aya Ohori. On the other hand, South Korea's An Se Ying suffered an injury, which led to her missing the semi-finals, causing South Korea to lose to Indonesia and losing the opportunity to play against China. With the stoppage of South Korea, Chen Yufei has no chance to fight with An Xiying.
The Uber Cup is the last major tournament before the Paris Olympics, and the teams and teams are playing at their best, which is also the best chance for the national team to find out their opponents. It's a pity that the two strongest opponents in the women's singles at the Paris Olympics, Akane Yamaguchi and An Seying, did not meet Chen Yufei and He Bingjiao, which also brought a trace of difficulty to the national feather's preparation for the Olympics, and could not intuitively feel the gap and shortcomings.
Leung Wai Hang/Wong Chang are ranked number one in the world, but the Men's Doubles competition is fierce, with two players dropping two points in quick succession to Korea's Seo Seung Jae/Kang Min Hyuk and Malaysia's Chia Ting Feng/So Wei Yi. From the perspective of losing two world championships in a row in the Tang Cup, Guoyu does not have too strong dominance in men's doubles, and it is still a little difficult to win the gold medal in the Olympic Games, and the old problems of Leung Wei Keng/Wang Chang have not improved.
"Sudden disconnection" is the stubborn disease of the Leung Wei Keng/Wang Chang combination, whether it is in the lead or when chasing points, it is easy to have this old problem, such as the third game with Xie Su combination has obviously caught up with the score, but he made mistakes again and again, resulting in losing. In the second men's doubles of the national feather, Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi, who qualified for the Olympics, have not been in good form recently, but it is He Jiting/Ren Xiangyu who did not qualify for the tournament and have performed well and become the heroes of the soup cup.
Li Shifeng also dropped two points in the soup cup, losing to India's Lakshya and Indonesia's Jonatan. Li Shifeng's form declined after winning the Asian Games, and he found his form again at the Asian Championships. In terms of the performance of the soup cup, Li Shifeng's stability is insufficient, and he still lacks some ruthlessness in the face of strong opponents. As the second men's singles of the national feather, Li Shifeng and Shi Yuqi will take on the heavy responsibility of competing for the men's singles Olympic championship, hoping that Li Shifeng can improve again.
