On December 13, Beijing time, the 2021 Badminton World Championships entered its second match day. On the same day, Chinese players will participate in men's doubles and men's singles competitions. Among them, the men's doubles team Wang Chang/Di Zijian, Ou Xuanyi/Zhang Nan will face Japan's Koga Hui/Sai Teng Taiichi, India's Olge/Shukla, and the women's singles player Zhang Yiman will face Hong Kong's Zhang Yanyi.
Wang Chang / Di Zijian
The men's doubles first round continues, with Wang Chang/ Di Zijian taking on the Japanese duo of Kei Koga and Taiichi Saiten. Wang Chang/ Di Zijian is currently ranked 40th in the world, and Koga Hui/Taiichi Saiten is ranked 20th in the world. Judging from the world rankings, the difference between the two sides is doubled, and Wang Chang/Di Zijian does not have an advantage in strength. Previously, the two sides had a record of fighting each other. At that time, Koga Kei /Saiten Taiichi won. As a 20-year-old post-00s duo, Wang Chang/Di Zijian must show the spirit of young players who dare to fight in the competition, and it is not impossible to defeat the opponent to advance to the next round.
Ou Xuanyi/Zhang Nan
Ou Xuanyi/ Zhang Nan vs. India's Olge / Shukla, Ou Xuanyi / Zhang Nan ranked 27th in the world, and the opponent was only 92. From the perspective of strength comparison, Ou Xuanyi /Zhang Nan is far above the Indian players. Zhang Nan, as an Olympic champion, has rich experience in competition; As a young player, Ou Xuanyi is full of physical fitness and hard work, and the normal play of this pair of "young and old partners" should be able to sweep the opponent to advance. Previously, the two sides had no record of fighting each other. This match is also the first time that the two sides have met in an international competition.
Zhang Yiman
In the first round of the women's singles, Zhang Yiman faced Zhang Yanyi in Hong Kong, China. As a member of the national feather team that replaced Chen Yufei, Zhang Yiman ranked 46th in the world and Zhang Yanyi ranked 35th in the world. Zhang Yiman once won the badminton women's singles championship of the World Military Games, and the fifth place in the women's singles of this year's Shaanxi National Games, it should be said that he has a certain strength. Facing Zhang Yanyi in the first round, I expect Zhang Yiman to pass the pass smoothly.
In other events, in the first round of men's singles, no. 8 seed Hong Kong,China's Wu Jialang will face India's Planoy; no. 11 seed Li Zijia will face Canadian Chinese Player Johnson Anthony Ho Shu; No. 16 seed Thailand's Charon will face Sweden's Brest; in the first round of women's singles, former Hong Kong's Ip Wai Yan will face Cuba's Kuba.
