On March 8, the 2022 BWF Tour Super 300 German Open ended the first day of competition, and the Chinese badminton team made a total of 9 appearances, and finally achieved a 5 win and 4 losses, which can be described as mixed. Tokyo Olympic women's singles champion Chen Yufei led the race, and zhang Yiman won 2-0 to advance, while Wang Zhiyi lost to Thailand's Indanon Ratchano. Only Lu Guangzu played on the first day of the men's singles, and he won 2-0 with ease. In the doubles match, Guo Yu was hit hard, and the three pairs, including Zheng Siwei and new partner Zhang Shuxian, and the world champion duo Zhang Nan/Liu Cheng, all suffered defeats.
Since the End of Last Year World Championships, the National Feather Army began a winter training of more than two months at the Chengdu Shuangliu Base, and the team has undergone relatively large adjustments, whether it is the coaching team, or the team members, especially the doubles combination, which has been split and reorganized, including the mixed doubles world first, World Championship champions Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong have also been separated, re-partnered with young players, and competed in the new cycle of events. World Champion, veteran combination Zhang Nan / Liu Cheng re-partnered, looking forward to returning to the peak and revitalizing the national feather men's doubles.
The German Open is the first international competition to test the results of the national feather in the winter training period, and the result is that the Zheng Siwei / Zhang Shuxian combination, which debuted on the day, faced the German combination Jason / Linda, and lost two consecutive sets of 19-21, 17-21. To know that the German combination only began to partner from October last year, to say that the technical level and ability, is certainly not as good as China, but in the confrontation and cooperation on the field, Zheng Siwei and the young player Zhang Shuxian really did not do a good job, losing is inevitable, I hope they continue to adjust, in the Swiss Open to play style.
Zhang Nan / Liu Cheng's male doubles first round opponent is the Thai combination Zong Guo / Ji Ding Nu Peng, the result of a hard battle, the two have not found a feeling in the grasp of the key ball, two 19-21, and finally regretted the defeat.
