The 2022 BWF Korea Masters is in full swing, with the men's singles arena reaching the quarterfinals stage. On April 14, Li Shifeng was reversed, Weng Hongyang withdrew, both stopped in the round of 16, plus Zhao Junpeng, who was out of the first round, Guoyu men's singles 4 people played, 3 of them have been eliminated, only Lu Guangzu entered the quarterfinals, how familiar the script: there is only a single seedling to rush the crown!
Chen Long is old, Shi Yuqi has also returned to the provincial team, and the national badminton men's singles has become the weakest link in the Chinese badminton team. In desperation, we could only be forced to use new people, Li Shifeng, Weng Hongyang, Zhao Junpeng began to get a large number of opportunities to represent the national feathers in the BWF International Tour. The last stop, also in South Korea, the Super500 level of the Korean Open, weng Hongyang, who represented The National Feather for the first time in an international competition, won the championship with a ranking of 156th in the world, and staged a dark horse miracle. In this station, the Super300 Class Korea Badminton Masters, Guoyu continued to send 4 players from Weng Hongyang, Lu Guangzu, Zhao Junpeng and Li Shifeng to participate in the men's singles.
In the first round, Lee Shih-bung beat South Korean local Jeong Min-hyun 2-1, Weng Hongyang swept MaMeli 2-0, Lu Guangzu 2-0 kept a clean sheet against South Korea's Lee Dong-geun, and only Zhao Junpeng fell behind, losing 1-2 to Kim Dong-hoon by a large score. Only to play the second round, the national men's singles began to lose competitiveness, Weng Hongyang withdrew (opponent Lucas automatically promoted), Li Shifeng 1-2 (21-13, 12-21, 14-21) was reversed by the Japanese player Naraoka Kodai, the national men's singles was hit hard, only Lu Guangzu 1 person successfully passed the pass (21-10, 21-5, big score 2-0 Medel).
This year's Korea Masters is not high, there are very few men's singles masters, Lu Guangzu is the No. 4 seed, among the eight players who have been promoted, Lu Guangzu is the highest ranked, perhaps, Lu Guangzu can also complete the heavy responsibility of winning the championship like Weng Hongyang in the previous stop.
