The 2022 World Badminton Swiss Open has come to a successful end, due to the absence of many champions, the gold medalists in the 5 events of this competition have also been ridiculed as the "most water champion"! The Korea Masters is coming, and after nearly a week of rest, the Chinese team will also regain its strength in this competition, striving to impact all individual gold medals. Judging from the list of participants reported by the coaching staff of The National Feather, almost all the main forces were sent. Singles is still led by Chen Yufei and Lu Guangzu, and in the doubles event, Olympic champions Wang Yilu and Huang Dongping stormed the first championship trophy of the season.
Head coach Zhang Jun said in an interview that the team encountered many difficulties in the early stages of the game, with repeated injuries, infections and cold and fluctuating state, which made the whole team helpless. After deliberation, the coaching staff was forced to abandon the Swiss competition in order to better prepare for the subsequent international top competitions. After the run-in period of the German Championship and the All England Championship, the Korea Masters is an extremely important training exercise for the Chinese team. For the current problems faced by the team, Zhang Jun said that the biggest shortcoming is still in the men's singles and men's doubles projects, Chen Long is about to retire, Shi Yuqi's injury has not fully recovered, and men's singles players such as Lu Guangzu and Zhao Junpeng are difficult to pick up the beams.
The men's doubles combinations such as He Jiting, Tan Qiang, Liu Cheng and Zhang Nan also lack absolute competitiveness. In Zhang Jun's view, throughout the Paris cycle, it is difficult for the two events of the national feather to change qualitatively the women's doubles and mixed doubles is the top priority of the new Olympic cycle of the national feather, Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan, Wang Yilu and Huang Dongping two pairs of combinations, in the Tokyo Olympic Games to get a gold and silver results. Two years later at the Paris Olympics, their goal was to be champions. Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan ranked first in the world in terms of comprehensive strength, as long as they adjusted their state and avoided injuries, this pair was the biggest favorite of the Paris Olympic Games.
Wang Yilu and Huang Dongping have been in a state of flux recently, which has also made Guo Yu's competitiveness in the mixed doubles event suddenly change. The IELTS combination has been officially dismantled, which also means that the Yellow Duck combination needs to take on more responsibilities. Germany and all England, the Olympic champion combination have lost the gold medal, the upcoming Korean Masters, if Wang Yilu and Huang Dongping lose again, or will fall into the Thai team, Japan team mixed doubles to seize the power. For the competition situation of women's singles, Zhang Jun believes that this project is the most elusive of the 5 individual events.
Whether it is Chen Yufei, He Bingjiao, Zhang Yiman of the Chinese team, or Dai Ziying, An Xianying, Akane Yamaguchi, Xindu and other players, no one can be in an absolute hegemonic position. Judging from the hand-to-hand records, these high-ranked seeded players have formed a series of sets. In Germany, He Bingjiao defeated Akane Yamaguchi, but then lost to Chen Yufei in the All England Tournament; Chen Yufei defeated Dai Ziying at the Olympic Games, but could not cross the mountain of Akane Yamaguchi; Although Dai Ziying was able to defeat Sindu, she lost to An Xianying. In this regard, Zhang Jun ridiculed, "Even the head coaches of the strong teams cannot predict the women's singles champion until the last goal lands"!
