On December 13, Beijing time, the world badminton championships ended on the first day of competition, and the national badminton won all 6 matches, which was surprising. In the men's singles arena, Zhao Junpeng eliminated the 10th seed Wang Ziwei, and Lu Guangzu eliminated the Thai talented teenager Kunlavut. In the women's singles, 22-year-old rising star Han Yue eliminated Vietnamese Ruan Cuiling 2-0, and because the opponent Marlene in the second round had withdrawn, Han Yue directly advanced to the round of 16. At the same time, Japan suffered a black opening, and Ōhori lost 0-2 to Gilmour and suffered a round trip.
In this World Championships, Chen Long, Shi Yuqi, Chen Yufei, Wang Yilu, Huang Dongping and other people in the national feather team were collectively absent, and a number of young players were given the opportunity to participate, which made the prospects of the national feathers to compete for the championship not optimistic. In addition, many masters, including Momota Kendou, Jin Ting, and Ma Lin, retired from the competition, and the stars of this World Championship were dim, and everyone expected the dark horse to stand out.
On the first match day, The National Feather showed good competitive form. There is no Lin Dan, no Chen Long, no Shi Yuqi in the men's singles team, but Lu Guangzu and Zhao Junpeng perform well. Lu Guangzu eliminated Quinlawut 21-16, 21-12, the latter being the runner-up in the men's singles in the Finals and the best newcomer of the year, but was tragically hit by a round trip. And Zhao Junpeng broke out of the cold, reversing the 10th seed Wang Ziwei 16-21, 21-17, 21-15 to advance to the round of 32. In addition, Li Shifeng eliminated Lynn Kai 21-6, 21-10 to easily complete the world championship debut.
In the women's singles field, the 22-year-old Han Yue eliminated Vietnamese Ruan Cuiling 21-16, 21-14, due to the withdrawal of opponent Marlene in the second round, Han Yue was equivalent to directly advancing to the women's singles round of 16. In the doubles match, Ou Xuanyi/Feng Xueying, Liu Cheng/Huang Kaixiang all passed 2-0. It can be said that the overall national feather showed a good competitive state, and the next game is even more exciting.
The Japanese team suffered a black opening on the first day, Ohori 2 lost to Gilmour 0-2, and the women's singles was eliminated in the first round. Nishimoto Kenta and Watanabe Kenki passed the level.
On the second matchday, Di Zijian/Wang Chang played against Japan's Koga Hui/Saito Taiichi, Zhang Yiman challenged Zhang Yanyi, and Zhang Nan/Ou Xuanyi played against George/Shukla. In addition, Acelon will also appear, and his opponent is Luo Jianyou, which is a strong dialogue.
Although the starlight of this World Championship is dim, it is a good opportunity for young players to stand out, we have made a good start in the singles field, of course, will improve morale, I hope that the next players can continue to work hard. Although Arcelor is a big favorite to win the championship in the men's singles arena, I believe that several young players in the national feathers can create surprises!
