On April 22, 2022, the official announcement of the national feather announced the list of the Tang You Cup, the coaching staff sent a lineup dominated by young players, the three Olympic champions Chen Long, Zhang Nan, Wang Yilu were absent, in addition to Shi Yuqi, Zheng Siwei, Huang Yaqiong also did not participate, the women's team sent the strongest lineup, led by Chen Yufei, and the two highest-ranked players of the men's team did not come, Chen Long concentrated on preparing for the Asian Games, and Shi Yuqi was not selected.
The Thomas Cup and Uber Cup were held from May 8 to 15, in Bangkok, Thailand, last year, Guoyu won the Uber Cup championship and the Second Place Ofs Cup, when the men's team lost to Indonesia in the final, Guoyu after long-term research, finally determined the 24-person participation list, Chen Long, Shi Yuqi, Zhang Nan, Wang Yilu, Zheng Siwei, Huang Yaqiong was absent, focusing on mixed doubles players, only Huang Dongping was selected.
The 12 members of the men's team are Lu Guangzu, Zhao Junpeng, Li Shifeng, Weng Hongyang, He Jiting, Zhou Haodong, Liu Yuchen, Ou Xuanyi, Tan Qiang, Ren Xiangyu, Sun Feixiang, Liu Cheng, and the 12 members of the women's team are Chen Yufei, He Bingjiao, Zhang Yiman, Wang Zhiyi, Chen Qingchen, Jia Yifan, Du Yue, Li Wenmei, Zheng Yu, Huang Dongping, Han Yue, Zhang Shuxian, because Tang You Cup did not mix doubles, resulting in some players losing.
The national women's team is the number one favorite to win the championship, first of all, singles, Chen Yufei, He Bingjiao, Wang Zhiyi have the strength to get points, Zhang Yiman has made rapid progress recently, last year he won the bronze medal of the World Championships, He Bingjiao won the championship twice this year, at present, her position is also the most stable, although the Olympic champion Chen Yufei has some ups and downs, but when she comes to the competition, she can have a good play every time.
A pair is definitely Chen Qingchen / Jia Yifan, the second double has room to change the formation, especially the addition of Huang Dongping, so that the coaching team has more choices in tactics, the number one opponent of the Uber Cup is the Japanese team, Akane Yamaguchi, Hope Okuhara, Sasuke Takahashi also added women's singles, Yuki Fukushima / Hirota Caihua, Matsumoto Mayu / Nagahara and Kona women's doubles, this lineup also has the strength to impact the championship, it is indeed not to be underestimated.
Unlike the situation in the Uber Cup, the national yu men's team wants to achieve good results in the Thomas Cup is not easy, although Li Shifeng performed well last year, Weng Hongyang recently reversed Jonathan to win the championship, but the young players' play is unstable, whether they can get points depends on the on-the-spot play, in addition, Lu Guangzu and Zhao Junpeng Although the ranking is higher, but in the face of the top ten players, the winning rate is indeed average.
In terms of doubles, the coaching staff is expected to try various lineups, last year He Jiting / Zhou Haodong partner effect is good, in addition to Tan Qiang / He Jiting last year also won the second place in the World Championships, Liu Yuchen / Ou Xuanyi second double is more likely, and finally let us send blessings to Guo Yu in advance, looking forward to the athletes' performance in this year's Tang You Cup, come on!
