On December 17, the Badminton World Championships ushered in the quarterfinals, and the 5 individual quarterfinals were launched one after another, and the Chinese team still retained the hope of impacting the semifinals in the four events of women's singles, women's doubles, men's doubles and men's singles. The best prospect is the women's singles event, with 3 people advancing to the quarter-finals, with He Bingjiao and Han Yue competing for a place in the semi-finals, with Zhang Yiman challenging 2013 World Championship champion Indanon Ratchano. Women's doubles top seed Chen Qingchen / Jia Yifan against the No. 7 seed Japanese duo of Naomi Matsuyama / Chiyo Shida, was the strongest pair in The Day's match. Men's doubles duo He Jiting/Tan Qiang played against Malaysia's Chen Weiqiang/Wu Weisheng, and men's singles youngster Zhao Junpeng played against India's Lakshya.
At 17:00 Beijing time, the Final 8 tournament began, and the previous No. 3 venue was no longer used, but was held in the first and second venues, and the specific match between The National Feathers was as follows:
Venue 1 Session 4: Chen Qingchen / Jia Yifan vs Matsuyama Nao / Chiyo Shida (Japan)
Venue 1 Race 10: Ho Kit Ting / Tan Qiang vs Ng Wai Seung / Chan Wai Keung (Malaysia)
Venue 2 Match 2: Han Yue vs He Bingjiao
Venue 2 Match 3: Zhao Junpeng vs Lakshya (India)
Venue 2 Session 7: Zhang Yiman vs Indanong (Thailand)
Chen Qingchen / Jia Yifan played until now, can be said to be the biggest hope of the national feather in this world championships of the players, they are the 2017 world championship champion and the runner-up of the Tokyo Olympic Games, even in this way to face the Japanese combination of Naoya Matsuyama / Shida Chiyo is not sure of the battle and victory, and the two sides in the past two years of confrontation Fan Chen combination is still 1 win and 2 losses slightly behind, carrying the women's doubles and even the entire national team to win the championship of them, facing an opponent of equal strength, I am afraid it will not be too easy, Because recently, the Japanese pair have reached the semi-finals of various open tournaments in a row, becoming the women's doubles team with the fastest improvement in the world ranking.
Men's doubles No. 16 seed He Jiting / Tan Qiang's opponent is Malaysia's Wu Weisheng / Chen Weiqiang, the opponent is the men's doubles runner-up of the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, when he lost to Fu Haifeng / Zhang Nan of The National Feather, came to the Tokyo Olympic cycle Malaysian combination has a poor record, the relationship with the Malaysian Badminton Association has been frozen and has flown alone, was stabbed as the No. 10 seed, can reach the top 8 has been the best result in recent years, although the national feather men's doubles is not as famous as the opponent, but the actual strength of the two sides is still between Bo Zhong, The opponent is older and has a lot of physical exertion until now, and if Kuniyu can play a young physical advantage, the possibility of advancing to the semi-finals and getting a medal is very large.
Women's singles civil war He Bingjiao and Han Yue's match, if there is no accident, the experience of the competition He Bingjiao will win, He Bingjiao after the baptism of the Tokyo Olympic Games, has shown a general style on the field, the on-field play is very stable, the mentality is more peaceful, after the weight loss success, can keep up with the rhythm of the opponent in the defense, more optimistic about winning into the top 4.
Zhao Junpeng and Lakshya's match is also a downwind, Lakshya successfully reached the year-end finals this year, and in the case of many opponents withdrawing, in one fell swoop, only twice lost to Anseron did not win the championship, this competition he eliminated the Tokyo Olympic Dark Horse 4th Cotton to advance to the quarterfinals, Zhao Junpeng is defeated by the 10th seedEd Prince Wei, Japan's rookie Watanabe Hanggui and Ireland Thirumi Nguyen Ri to reach the top 8, both sides are not seeded players, there is no record of confrontation, can only watch the semi-final seat of the impromptu final.
Women's singles Xiaohua will usher in the 2013 World Championships champion Indanon in the No. 2 venue, the opponent is a talented girl, at the age of 18, she defeated the London Olympic champion Li Xuerui at the World Championships, leaving the latter without the World Championships, but the Tokyo Olympic cycle is gradually dropped by Danon, and she can hardly be seen in the top 4 of the competition. Zhang Yiman had good luck in this competition, defeating Kim Jia-eun to enter the quarterfinals after the strongest opponent Okuhara hoped to retire, and if Okuhara wanted to participate, her place to advance to the top 8 was very slim. Although Danon's strength and fame are very strong in this game, she has also lost to second-rate players such as teammate Li Meili in the Open recently, as long as Zhang Yiman is firm in his shots, there is hope for an upset trip.
