In the early morning of Beijing time this morning, the German Open ended the competition for the first round of five individual events, and the national feather in 2022
In the first round of the first race, except for the regrettable defeat of Zheng Siwei/Zhang Shuxian on the first day, no other famous players had any accidents, including Chen Yufei, He Bingjiao, Wang Yilu/Huang Dongping, Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan, and other main players successfully advanced to the second round.
On the first day of the competition, there were four groups of players in The National Feather who suffered a "round trip", except for the women's singles young player Wang Zhiyi, who lost 0-2 to Thai sister Indanong because of the difference in strength, the other three groups of players who lost were all new combinations that Guo Yu had matched during the previous winter training.
Among them, the most concerned Zheng Siwei / Zhang Shuxian lost 0-2 to the host combination Jensen / Everer, the two cooperation is still relatively rusty, Zheng Siwei also did not play his strength as a mixed doubles top player, whether this pair can be fixed remains to be tested by later competitions.
The two veterans Zhang Nan and Liu Cheng joined hands again, but the two who started again did not get a favorable start. Facing the Thai duo of Su Paak/Ji Tin Nu Phong, who defeated Ho Ji Ting/Tan Qiang in the Su Cup last year, they lost 19-21 in two games, and their age and impact may become the shackles of Zhang Nan and Liu Cheng.
Tan Qiang / Ren Xiangyu partnered for the first time, their opponent is the Japanese team in the new cycle of the same young combination Koga Kei / Saito Taiichi, the two played their own level normally, but a little regretfully lost 1-2, missed the second round. After Li Junhui retired, Liu Yuchen and Ou Xuanyi were paired this time, but they defeated the opponent 2-0, becoming the only new partner to advance on the first day of the national feather, and the original partner of the women's doubles young Liu Xuanxuan / Xia Yuting also successfully passed the first round.
In terms of singles, Chen Long did not come to Germany because of adjustments and Shi Yuqi because of recovery, and Lu Guangzu became the highest ranking player in the men's singles of the national feather, and he defeated France's Russel 2-0 in the first round to continue to move forward. In addition to Wang Zhiyi, Chen Yufei and Zhang Yiman all defeated their respective opponents in the women's singles, and there were no accidents.
Chen Yufei suffered an injury in the continuous rotation after last year's Olympic Games, and has been in the process of treatment and recovery at the end of last year, starting from the Spring Festival this year to resume systematic training, after the first round of competition, she said that she had been strengthening strength training before, feeling that she was relatively weak in this regard, and now feels that she is in good physical condition.
After defeating Spain's Corrales, the youngster Zhang Yiman will challenge India's Sindu in the second round, and she is very excited about such a schedule: "I would like to meet the seeds to give them a trick, I hope I can do my best in the competition." ”
On March 9, the rest of the team members who had not yet appeared in the national feather continued to compete in the first round. Two women's singles players He Bingjiao won 2-0 against Japan's Ohori, and Han Yue won two consecutive sets after losing 20-22 in the first set, reversing the Frenchman Hutter 2-1, but the two men's singles players suffered a win and a loss. After Zhao Junpeng beat India's Dey 2-0, Li Shifeng once again lost to Jonathan.
In the final of the Soup Cup in October last year, the Chinese team and the Indonesian team played, Li Shifeng had encountered Jonatan in the third game, when the Chinese team was 0-2 behind, and the young Li Shifeng could not help the team to save the decline, 1-2 lost to Jonathan, the Chinese team finally lost 0-3. And this time, Li Shifeng obviously has the psychology of "revenge", but the reaction on the field is very anxious, there are not too many rules and details, always hope to kill the other party as soon as possible, but incompetent, still 1-2 lost to the other side again.
However, the doubles duo did not lose on the second match day, of which Wang Yilu/ Huang Dongping and Chen Qingchen / Jia Yifan were both 2-0 light opponents, and the two new pairs Du Yue / Li Wenmei and Zheng Yu / Zhang Shuxian also won a 2-0 opening match for the first time.
He Jiting/Zhou Haodong, who defeated Yugo Kobayashi and Shomu Tsurugi in the final of the Su Cup and helped China win the championship and score an important point, also fixed, and also defeated their opponents by a score of 2-0 to advance to the second round. And Huang Yaqiong's original Zheng Siwei folded in the first round, her and Ou Xuanyi's combination was 16-21 after the first defeat, two consecutive sets to reverse the Danish combination Christiansen / Bor.
For the Chinese team as a whole, the performance of the first round is within the controllable range, and the strong dialogue from the second round is the real beginning of verifying the strength. In addition, Momota Kendou lost to teammate Nishimoto Kenta in the first round and was eliminated miserably, and from the late stage of the Tokyo Olympic cycle to the beginning of the Paris Olympic cycle, the Japanese name that once swept the badminton arena has never shown its due style.
