The 2022 Badminton German Open and the All England Tournament are the season debuts of the main players of the Chinese badminton team, including Chen Yufei, Chen Qingchen, Jia Yifan, Wang Yilu, Huang Dongping, etc., will all appear on the scene. Among these core players, Chen Yufei's performance has attracted the most attention from fans. From the perspective of competitors, compared with Chen Qingchen, Jia Yifan, Wang Yilu and Huang Dongping, Chen Yufei is much more difficult to win the women's singles event. In the Paris Olympic cycle, Chen Yufei is still the favorite to win the women's singles field, but the number of main opponents is even more than the Tokyo Olympic cycle.
Japan's Yamaguchi Akane can be described as Chen Yufei's biggest nemesis, after the Tokyo Olympics, Chen Yufei has suffered two consecutive defeats against Yamaguchi Akane. In addition, Rio Olympic champion Marin returned from injury, World Championship champion Okuhara hope returned in blood, and world number one Dai Ziying made a comeback, all of which are the main threats to Chen Yufei's cycle in Paris. Chen Yufei is currently 24 years old, physical fitness, state in the golden period of career, the coaching team hopes that she can achieve the feat of her sister Zhang Ning winning the women's singles gold medal in the Athens Olympics and Beijing Olympics in Paris, France two years later.
As a two-time Women's Singles Champion of the National Games, Chen Yufei's strength in China is at the top of the list, and even He Bingjiao, known as the "King of Civil War", is difficult to win the game when facing Chen Yufei. Chen Yufei said in an interview that the Tokyo Olympics won the women's singles championship, which helped her a lot, especially the victory over the world's number one Dai Ziying, which doubled her confidence. The upcoming All England Tournament is Chen Yufei's strong duel with Sindu, Akane Yamaguchi, Dai Ziying and others after half a year, and if she can win the women's singles championship in the strong enemy circle, she will win a crucial psychological battle in the Paris Olympic cycle.
It is worth mentioning that after losing consecutively to Akane Yamaguchi last season, the coaching team of Kuniwa deliberately gave up the World Championships in order to let Chen Yufei get the opportunity to rest physically and mentally. Although there was an uproar in the outside world at that time, if Chen Yufei lost the World Championship again, his heart would be cast with a shadow of defeat, which was extremely unfavorable to his preparation and competition in the Paris cycle. Some fans speculate that the reason why Chen Yufei did not participate in the World Championships was to avoid Akane Yamaguchi, who eventually reached the top in the women's singles final of the World Championships with super strength.
Judging from the current situation, Akane Yamaguchi is in high morale and is also a big favorite in the Paris Olympic cycle. In the 2022 badminton season, Chen Yufei ushered in the opportunity to take revenge on Akane Yamaguchi, and if the two meet, this duel may be a preview of the women's singles championship and runner-up battle at the Paris Olympic Games. The pattern of women's singles in world badminton is more intense than in the previous cycle, Chen Yufei, Dai Ziying, Akane Yamaguchi and Ma Lin are equal, and the victory or defeat of the game mainly depends on the on-site play. What do you think are the odds of Chen Yufei defending his title at the Paris Olympics?
