On March 8, the German Open of the BWF Tour Super 300 will officially kick off, and after a more than a month-long offseason, the new season will resume, with four consecutive open tournaments, and players from many countries and regions, including the national feather, have signed up to participate. For the Chinese badminton team, this is the second overseas international event journey after the World Championships in December last year, and this time it will last more than half a year overseas, focusing on participating in international competitions and training preparations.
At the time when the German Masters is about to start, Guoyu ushered in good news, originally only Lu Guangzu and Zhao Junpeng were eligible to participate in the men's singles, but because of the withdrawal of other players, Li Shifeng obtained the qualification for the next place and will meet The Indonesian star Jonatan in the first round. At last year's Thomas Cup and World Championships, young player Li Shifeng proved his strength and ability with a series of outstanding performances and excellent results, but due to his lack of experience in international competitions and low world rankings, he needed to start from the low-level open tournament after the start of the new season.
After the national feather men's singles was suspended indefinitely by the leading figure Chen Long, Shi Yuqi bid farewell to the national team due to injury and returned to the provincial team to recuperate, only Lu Guangzu was left to pick up the beam, and among the young generals after that, only Zhao Junpeng was ranked high. Therefore, in this European three-stop Open, the national feather men's singles became the single with the fewest qualifications. Including Li Shifeng, Weng Hongyang and others, they are all in order, and only after the players with the higher ranking in front of them retire can they take their turn to play. The German Open, because Malaysia's Huang Yongzhi announced his retirement due to injury the day before the match, so Li Shifeng, who was the first in the race, was lucky to get the opportunity to participate.
Although the German Open is only a super 300 event, it attracts almost all high-level players to participate, the world's first Acelon and Japan's brother Momota Kendou have returned to participate, other seeds, Indonesia's men's singles twin stars Kim Ting and Jonatan, Malaysia's leader Li Zijia, last year's World Championships new team champion Singapore's famous Luo Jianyou are all listed. In this men's singles competition, Lu Guangzu was alone in the upper half of the district, the second and third rounds had largely encountered India's famous Srikante and Acesaron, while Zhao Junpeng and Li Shifeng in the lower half, Li Shifeng was more difficult, if he could advance, he would encounter strong enemies all the way, in addition to Jonathan in the first round, the second round was the winner of Kashyap and Quinravut, and the third round was basically the winner of Luo Jianyou and Momota Xiandou. It is expected that the national men's singles can bring a start to the new season.
