At the 2022 German Open Badminton Championships, which ended in the early morning of Beijing time today, the Chinese team won the women's singles and women's doubles championships, and won the runner-up in the women's singles, men's doubles and mixed doubles, making its debut of the season with a posture of occupying half of the final seats.
The season debut was momentum
The German Open, the first leg of the BWF's Spring Iron Triangle and the all-England outpost, attracted a luxurious line-up that didn't quite match its level. After winter training, the Chinese badminton team departed for Europe at the beginning of this month and officially entered the busy season of 2022. At the German Open, the Chinese team played well as a whole, reaching the final in four individual events, occupying 8 of the 20 seats in the semi-finals and 5 of the 10 seats in the final.
In the semifinals, the national women's singles occupied 3 seats, showing the prototype of the group's advantage. In the end, He Bingjiao defeated South Korea's Ahn Hyun-yeol and met Chen Yufei in the final. In the final, Chen Yufei and He Bingjiao, the two leaders of the national feather women's singles, presented a wonderful duel, which is a sign that the national women's singles further sends a strong signal to the world badminton world. In the end, He Bingjiao won the championship in two straight sets. It is worth mentioning that He Bingjiao played well in this competition, defeating Ōhori, Akane Yamaguchi, An Xianyao and Chen Yufei in a row, and all of them won 2-0, and the championship was full of gold.
In women's doubles, in the absence of the Japanese and Indonesian combinations and the four pairs of South Korean women's doubles in the lower half, Chen Qingchen /Jia Yifan was very optimistic before the final to win this title. But from the whole process of the final, it can be seen that the excellent performance of the Bulgarian sisters has made the gap between them and the "mortal dust" combination to a minimum, which can be seen in the 29-30 in the second set. What is exciting is that in the case of losing the second set and the third set with extreme scores, the "fan dust" still bit the situation and finally narrowly won the championship. After countless big competitions and countless championships, they will still find a different way to grow in each competition.
The new combination of real combat shows true knowledge
For the national doubles, which underwent a large-scale restructuring at the beginning of the year, the main purpose of the recent competition is to run in and test, and to strive for points and rankings. From the first point of view, the German Open has played a certain effect, some new combinations have not played well in the first few rounds, and some new combinations have reached the final four and even reached the final. Actual combat is the main way to test training, and the final results of the new combination are not the same, but they all achieve a unified effect: to know themselves.
Men's doubles Liu Yuchen / Ou Xuanyi and He Jiting / Zhou Haodong, women's doubles Zheng Yu / Zhang Shuxian, mixed doubles Ou Xuanyi / Huang Yaqiong all reached the final four of this competition, becoming a new pair of doubles. The two-line battle of Ou Xuanyi ten games a week, the final day of the mixed doubles after the men's doubles arrangement is to let his physical strength and energy reach the peak of exhaustion, both lines are regrettable that they did not win the championship, but the surprise should be placed before regret.
It is worth vigilance that most masters in the past regarded the German Open as a warm-up for the All England, and the loss of this tournament does not mean that they have not been in good shape recently. Coupled with the absence of major doubles combinations such as Japan and Indonesia, the final result of this German competition is the double result of objective participation and the subjective efforts of the national feather. The All England Badminton Open, which is about to be held on Wednesday, will directly increase the intensity of competition in multiples, and the new national badminton groups will continue to impact.
Just at noon Beijing time today and early this morning German time, Guo Yu has packed his bags and rushed to Birmingham, England.
