300 level, 1000 configuration
The German Open has always been a Super 300 or Gold level, but there has always been a lineup that rivals the top competitions. After two consecutive years of suspension, this year's German Competition, as the first race after the beginning of spring, also as an outpost battle of the All England Championship, attracted most of the world's masters to participate.
Men's singles, Arcelong, Momota Kendou, Luo Jianyou, Antonsen, Jin Ting, Li Zijia and other world adepts are all present, and only Chen Long and Zhou Tiancheng did not participate in the world's top ten. In women's singles, the only players in the world's top ten are Li Meimei and MaLin who are absent due to injury. In terms of doubles, except for most of the Indonesian main players who missed the competition, most of the other active teams participated in the competition.

Yesterday, Guoyu debuted in 9 matches, singles Lu Guangzu, Chen Yufei and Zhang Yiman all won easily 2-0, and Wang Zhiyi lost to Thailand's Ratchano 11-21, 18-21.

Although many Western countries have given up targeted epidemic prevention, there are still relevant epidemic prevention measures in the current BWF competitions. It is understood that everyone participating in the competition undergoes nucleic acid testing every two days, and in the stadium, athletes can only take off their masks during the game, which is likely to be the beginning of the full resumption of the BWF.
