The 2022 All England Open Badminton Championships will start on March 16, and the Chinese team that missed the tournament last time will attack with the strongest lineup and look forward to getting good results. Among the 5 individual items, the most interesting at present is probably the mixed doubles project. There are two reasons for this:
1. China's three-pair combination attacked to test the world's first color of Thai players.
Chinese badminton dominated the entire Tokyo Olympic cycle in mixed doubles, with Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong and Wang Yilu/Huang Dongping almost consistently in the world's top 2. At the Tokyo Olympics, they successfully met in the final, and finally the world's No. 2 Yellow Duck team defeated the world No. 1 IELTS group and was crowned successfully.
But today's world number one is the Thai duo of Dechabo/Shahili, which is beginning to dominate the project. At last week's German Open, Dechabo/Shaxili made great strides and eventually won the title. Especially in the final, they actually defeated Ou Xuanyi/Huang Yaqiong with such a disparity of scores 21-11, 21-9, full of domineering. The Yellow Duck combination was defeated by Ou Xuanyi/Huang Yaqiong in the second round, which seemed to be in poor shape.
Has the voice of this project really changed hands? The Chinese team sent three pairs of combinations to answer this question this time, including the champion and runner-up of the Tokyo Olympic Games, The Yellow Duck Combination and the IELTS Combination. However, since the three Chinese combinations are all divided into the lower half of the zone, there is a drawdown before meeting with the world number one, which is not very good news.
2. The IELTS combination is a new fit for the All England Tournament, and fans should cherish this last opportunity.
Due to the average record after the Olympic Games, and Huang Yaqiong is 28 years old, the team considered the Paris Olympic Games, and the Zheng Siwei /Huang Yaqiong was demolished, and it was basically a permanent pair. At last week's German Open, Huang Yaqiong and her new partner Ou Xuanyi reached the final, proving that they still have strong capabilities, but Zhang Jun's determination may not waver.
In this way, this Year's All England Tournament is likely to be the "best song" of the IELTS group, and fans should cherish this rare opportunity to fit together. And they are the no. 2 in the world, sitting in the 4/4 district, if all goes normal, they will meet Wang Yilu and Huang Dongping in the 3/4 district in the semi-finals. Can the IELTS combination, which lost to the opponents at the Olympic Games and the National Games, achieve revenge?
Once a sweet revenge is achieved in the semi-finals, the IELTS combination will unsurprisingly challenge world number one Dechabo/Sassily in the final. We look forward to IELTS winning and looking forward to them finishing with a title! Come on, IELTS!
