National feathers burst out of the cold! Zheng Siwei / Huang Yaqiong was out and missed the world championship three consecutive titles

On December 15, the Badminton World Championships ushered in the third matchday of competition, and the mixed doubles match was again upset. The top seed of this World Championship, the Chinese team Zheng Siwei / Huang Yaqiong lost 1-2 to the Hong Kong team of Zhang Dezheng / Wu Yongyao, stopping the second round of mixed doubles.

Zheng Siwei / Huang Yaqiong is currently the highest ranking mixed doubles pair in the world, ranking second in the newly released BWF rankings, and has occupied the top position for a long time. The opponent of this match, Hong Kong, China, is only ranked 28th in the world. The two sides had a previous encounter, when Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong won.

Due to the withdrawal of the Indonesian team, Zheng Siwei / Huang Yaqiong played as the number one seed at this World Championship. The Chinese duo, which is bye in the first round, is their debut at this World Championship.

In the first set, Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong quickly entered the game state, taking a 7-1 lead through a proactive play, and then the Hong Kong combination of China has been trying to narrow the point difference, but after adjusting, Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong still won the first set 21-16.

In the second set, Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong's form fluctuated, and the opponent played an 11-3 attack, and finally lost the set 13-21. In the tiebreaker, the Hong Kong combination of China became more and more courageous, suppressing the play of Zheng Siwei / Huang Yaqiong, 11-6 into the intermittent timeout, did not give any chance, won the game 21-17, and eliminated Zheng Siwei / Huang Yaqiong.

Zheng Siwei /Huang Yaqiong has not been in good shape this season, losing to teammates Wang Yilu/Huang Dongping at the Tokyo Olympics and the National Games, and has not played in subsequent Sudirman Cup, Tang You Cup, Grand Prix and other events. In the case that Wang Yilu/Huang Dongping did not register for the World Championships, Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong was naturally the favorite to win the championship, but with the upset out, the two did not qualify for their own Mixed Doubles Triples championships at the World Championships.
