On April 29, Beijing time, the men's doubles event of the 2022 Badminton Asian Championships began a quarter-final competition, and Ren Xiangyu and Tan Qiang of the Chinese team failed to continue the momentum of consecutive wins, and the two lost two consecutive sets to Wu Shifei and Nui Zuding, regrettably missing the final four. With the exit of Ren Xiangyu and Tan Qiang, the Chinese team has been completely destroyed in the men's doubles event. Previously, the other two pairs, Liu Yuchen and Ou Xuanyi, He Jiting and Zhou Haodong, have been eliminated one after another. At this point, the men's doubles final four of this Asian Championship will not have Chinese players. Among the 5 individual events, the men's doubles has become the first project for the Chinese team to get out.
In the last round of the game, Ren Xiangyu and Tan Qiang defeated the combination of the top seeds of the tournament, Ah Shan and Hendra, which impressed everyone. But in another game, Liu Yuchen and Ou Xuanyi, who had high hopes, lost the game in a cold way, losing the ticket to the quarterfinals. In the Korea Masters, the two had a runner-up result.
After four teammates were out, Ren Xiangyu and Tan Qiang became the only seedlings of the Chinese team in the men's doubles event. In the quarter-finals, facing the powerful Wu Shifei and Yizuddin, Ren Xiangyu and Tan Qiang were suppressed throughout the game, leaving the fans with helpless sighs.
In the first game, Ren Xiangyu and Tan Qiang entered the state quickly, and the opponents Wu Shifei and Nui Zuding were also hot. The two sides played hard in the first few minutes, whether it was the front net, the net, or the backcourt kill and split, the four players played a very high level, and the score alternately rose. At the critical moment, Ren Xiangyu and Tan Qiang made mistakes in the connection, and were continuously attacked and scored by Wu Shifei and Nui Zuding, and finally lost the first set 19:21. Yi Bian fought again, and Ren Xiangyu and Tan Qiang still did not improve significantly in the self-defeat link.
On the contrary, the state of Wu Shifei and Nui Zuding is getting better and better, and even super level play. In the final stage, Ren Xiangyu and Tan Qiang failed to equalize the score, and were won by the opponent at 21:14, thus winning the whole game with a large score of 2:0. For the defeat of Ren Xiangyu and Tan Qiang, many fans regret it. Everyone has not yet come out of the joy of their defeat at the World Championship in the last game, and they do not want to accept the result of the two lads being eliminated after only one day. The reason may be that the overall strength and state stability of Ren Xiangyu and Tan Qiang have not yet reached the top ranks.
The Asian Championships all missed the final four, which is another huge blow to the men's doubles of The National Feather. Ren Xiangyu and Tan Qiang, Liu Yuchen and Ou Xuanyi, He Jiting and Zhou Haodong were the main players of the Chinese team in the Olympic cycle in Paris, and it is not surprising that the final Olympic roster will also be produced among these players. However, until now in the 2022 season, the men's doubles has not yet scored a gold medal in the international competition, which also reflects the shortcomings of the Chinese team and the world's strongest teams in this single event. There is not much time left for Guoyu men's doubles, Ren Xiangyu and Tan Qiang, Liu Yuchen and Ou Xuanyi, He Jiting and Zhou Haodong are three pairs, who can stand up?
