In the early morning of December 15, Beijing time, the 2021 Badminton World Championships broke out of the super cold, mixed doubles number one seed Zheng Siwei / Huang Yaqiong lost 1-2 to Zhang Dezheng / Wu Yongyao, missed the round of 16 of this World Championship! In the case of winning one game first, the national feather ace combination was reversed and missed the world championship for three consecutive titles. As the number one seed and defending champion, the National Ace duo was out early, which was unexpected.
In this competition, the Olympic champion group Wang Yilu / Huang Dongping did not participate, and they won the Olympic gold medal and the National Games gold medal consecutively. Because of the continuous combat, the Olympic team also needs to rest. Therefore, it is understandable that Guo Yu sent another pair of ace mixed doubles to fight. After all, Zheng Siwei / Huang Yaqiong is also very strong, they have achieved the World Championship 2 consecutive titles, which is a great achievement, this competition, their goal is even if 3 consecutive championships, and they also have the strength to do it.
But I didn't expect that the cold door would come so soon! Facing Zhang Dezheng / Wu Yongyao, the Guoyu combination won the first set 21-16, but after that, the opponent broke out, winning two consecutive sets 21-13, 21-17, and achieving a reversal! Zheng Siwei / Huang Yaqiong lost 1-2, missed the round of 16! Objectively speaking, the opponent is not well known, and the national feather combination has experienced hundreds of battles, so losing is indeed super unpopular!
Of course, Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong lost, it is also understandable that after the Tokyo Olympic Games and the National Games, Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong participated in very few competitions and was not in the best state. Hopefully, the two adjust their rest well and there are still a lot of fans who support them.
This year's World Championships is destined to give birth to a new pair of world champions in mixed doubles. Previously, in the men's singles competition, Olympic champion Arcelong was also out of the game early, which was also a big cold. This world championship, the unpopularity continues.
In addition, in today's 5 single events, Guo Yu lost the strongest gold point, and now only the women's doubles are still certain, and Guo Yu has Chen Qingchen / Jia Yifan. As for the women's singles, what kind of ice is there in the national feathers, but it is not a favorite to win the championship.
