On May 1, 2022, Beijing time, the Asian Badminton Championships entered the final day, and the first three finals were held, and the champions belonged to the national feather. Youngster Wang Zhiyi defeated world champion Akane Yamaguchi to win the women's singles title at the Asian Championships for the first time, ushering in a new breakthrough in her career. In the mixed doubles arena, Zheng Siwei / Huang Yaqiong defeated teammates Wang Yilu / Huang Dongping, also winning the asian championship for the first time.
This Asian Championship, Guoyu Snow hid Chen Yufei, but the women's singles field still brought surprises, He Bingjiao and Wang Zhiyi advanced to the quarterfinals, Wang Zhiyi defeated An Xianying and Yamaguchi Akane in a row, won the women's singles championship, defeated the world champion Yamaguchi Akane is a big cold door for Wang Zhiyi, and The group advantage of Guoyu in the women's singles field gradually appears. Of course, Wang Zhiyi should also sum up well, the big score lead was chased by Yamaguchi Akane, or let people pinch a sweat for her.
In the mixed doubles arena, Zheng Siwei / Huang Yaqiong defeated teammates Wang Yilu / Huang Dongping 21-17, 21-8 to win the Asian Championship mixed doubles championship for the first time. Previously, Guo Yu made some adjustments in the mixed doubles event, and Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong were separated, but through this competition, they proved that they are still the strongest mixed doubles combination in the badminton world today, and the coaching staff still has to think carefully.
In the women's doubles final that followed, Chen Qingchen / Jia Yifan easily defeated the Japanese duo of Iwanaga Suzu / Nakanishi Takaei 21-11, 21-15 to win the championship. At this point, The National Feather defeated the Japanese player twice in a row on the closing day, and suddenly won three championships, because the men's doubles final and the men's singles final were all Malaysian players against Indonesian players, and the Japanese team did not receive any results in this Asian Championship, and once again suffered a heavy blow.
In addition to winning three championships, Guo Yu also won 1 runner-up and 2 third places, the runners-up were Wang Yilu/Huang Dongping in the mixed doubles, weng Hongyang in the men's singles, and Du Yue/Li Wenmei in the women's doubles. Overall, Guoyu achieved very good results in this Asian Championship and is the number one winner of the Asian Championship. Of course, Guoyu lacks competitiveness in the men's singles and men's doubles events, which is where to strive to improve next.
To put it simply, the men's singles face the biggest test, although Chen Long did not retire, but did not participate in the game for a long time, Shi Yuqi temporarily left the national team, whether he can find the peak state of the past is still unknown, the national men's singles has no leader, and young players need to accelerate their catch-up. Men's doubles still need to optimize the configuration, choose the most suitable partner, in fact, women's doubles and mixed doubles also face such a problem, I wish guoyu good luck!
