On December 16, the fifth matchday of the Spanish Badminton World Championships, Guoyu continued to attack the top 8 in four events: the young women's singles Xiaohua Wang Zhiyi encountered South Korean youngster An Xianying, who had just won the year-end finals, and the opponent had performed well in the recent international arena, hoping that Wang Zhiyi could put down the baggage and fight to the end; the only seedling of the men's doubles round of 16, He Jiting / Tan Qiang, will face Malaysia's Xie Dingfeng / Su Weiyi, the latter is the bronze medalist of the Tokyo Olympic Games, who just eliminated Zhang Nan / Ou Xuanyi in the last round. The specific matchups on Matchday 5 are as follows:
Han Yue vs Li Wenshan (Canada)
Lu Guangzu vs Srikans (India)
Li Wenmei / Zheng Yu vs Yan Yongling / Nakanishi Takaei (Japan)
He Bingjiao vs Mia Bridgefield (Denmark)
Wang Zhiyi vs Ahn Seok-young (Korea)
Cho Joon Phung vs Nguyen Il (Ireland)
Jang Yee-man vs Kim Jae-eun (Korea)
Chen Qingchen / Jia Yifan VS Cai Wanting / Hongdrich (Canada)
Ho Kit Ting /Tan Qiang vs Su Wei Translation/Tse Ding Feng (Malaysia)
The women's singles 4 people played, the strongest opponent is Wang Zhiyi, her opponent South Korea's less than 19-year-old talented girl An Xieying, has recently won the year-end finals championship, becoming the trump card of south Korean women's singles. Han Yue in the 1/8 finals of the opponent of Canada's Chinese veteran Li Wenshan, Li Wenshan recently suffered from injuries, in the recent Uber Cup first match against He Bingjiao first lost a set of withdrawal, Tokyo Olympics is also withdrawn, although Han Yue suffered three consecutive defeats, but is on the rise of the period she is expected to seize the opportunity to revenge success. He Bingjiao, as the eldest sister of the national women's singles, will compete with Mia of Denmark for a top 8 seat, after the baptism of the top four of the Tokyo Olympic Games, she has gradually matured, I believe that He Bingjiao, who has maintained an unbeaten record before, can win the battle and advance. Zhang Yiman's match against South Korea's Kim Jia-eun in this round is South Korea's Second Women's Singles, after Zhang Yiman lost to his opponent in the only meeting.
Two men's singles players in the national feather to advance to the round of 16, Lu Guangzu will usher in the 1/8 final of India's former world 1st Srikans competition, the latter eliminated the national feather hope star Li Shifeng 2-1 in the men's singles second round, Lu Guangzu experienced two vicious battles after defeating Thailand's Quinravut and Taipei's Zhou Tiancheng, I believe that with the confidence built up by the two strong enemies, the opponent is not stronger than the strength of the first two rounds, Lu Guangzu has the opportunity to enter the men's singles top 8 for the first time. Another men's singles, Zhao Junpeng, has a general opponent, from Ireland, Nguyen Ri, once lost to Zhao Junpeng in 2019, so the two men's singles are expected to join hands to reach the top 8.
Women's doubles Li Wenmei / Zheng Yu took the lead in the challenge of Japan's strong file, the opponent Yan Yongling / Nakanishi Takaei is the new young team of the Japanese women's team in the Paris cycle, and won the women's doubles runner-up in the German competition, and the Chinese team does not have the certainty of victory. Chen Qingchen / Jia Yifan's opponent is Canada's Cai Wanting / Hongdrich, the opponent has no outstanding results in the international arena, and the previous champion is expected to easily qualify.
Men's doubles duo He Jiting / Tan Qiang face a very strong opponent, will be Malaysia's Su Weiyi / Xie Dingfeng, the last round of the Malaysian combination of hard fight in 3 sets eliminated Zhang Nan / Ou Xuanyi, but also defeated the powerful No. 2 seed Indonesian star Ah Shan / Setiawan at the Tokyo Olympic Games to win the bronze medal, this round of competition still has a high probability of defeating the national pair of two consecutive games to advance to the quarterfinals.
The match on the 16th will start at 16:00 Beijing time, divided into the first, second and third venues at the same time, because the national feather team members did not arrange the first game, all the venues are postponed in turn.
