On April 26, Beijing time, the 2022 Asian Badminton Championships kicked off, and the Chinese team that sent most of its main players to the Philippines to compete played well, achieving an excellent record of 9 wins and only 1 loss in 10 games.
In the men's singles, the two young players Weng Hongyang and Lei Lanxi both passed the test of the one-day doubles and worked together to advance to the main competition. Weng Hongyang, who won the South Korean Open badminton tournament three weeks ago as a dark horse, continued his fiery form, facing opponents from the Maldives and Myanmar, and he won easily in two straight sets. After nearly three years of returning to the international arena, Lei Lanxi has not won easily in two qualifying matches, especially in the key qualifying battle with Hong Kong player Chen Yanze, who fought hard for three sets to win the game. In this way, the four men's singles rookies of The National Feather will all appear in the main competition. However, in addition to Weng Hongyang, the other three people's signing luck is not ideal, and if you want to continue to move forward, you need to play your best.
In the men's doubles, Ren Xiangyu/Tan Qiang faced a Pair of Thai pairs firmly occupying the initiative on the field and finally won 2-0; Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi, although unexpectedly lost the second set, still defeated the Hong Kong duo of China Luo Zhuoqian/Li Jinxi 2-1 to advance to the next round; Ho Ji Ting/Zhou Haodong, who had high hopes from the coaching staff and fans, was eliminated by Tokyo Olympic bronze medalist and Malaysian champion Xie Dingfeng/Su Weiyi in the first game, which was also the only defeat of the Chinese team on the first matchday.
In mixed doubles, the re-integrated "IELTS" duo Zheng Siwei / Huang Yaqiong encountered a small challenge, and the second set was taken out until extra points were taken out, and Zheng Siwei's injury situation was worrying; Olympic champion Wang Yilu / Huang Dongping easily defeated a Pair of Thai pairs 21-10; World Youth Champion Feng Yanzhe / Lin Fangling reversed after losing the first set, thrillingly beating the Malaysian combination Of Hui Bangrong / Xie Yiqian.
