In 2017, the registration list for the 2017 China Badminton Top Championship was released, and the mixed doubles participation combination of national badminton has undergone major changes.
Mixed Doubles Entry List:
Mixed Doubles: Zheng Siwei / Huang Yaqiong Lu Kai / Tang Jinhua Wang Yilu / Huang Dongping Zhang Nan / Liu Xuanxuan He Jiting / Du Yue Han Chengkai / Chen Lu (Q) Wang Zekang / Xu Ya(Q)
<h1>The mixed pairs were split
</h1>
According to the list, Zheng Siwei and Chen Qingchen, who ranked first in the world in the mixed doubles, were separated, and Zheng Siwei's latest partner was Huang Yaqiong; in this way, the world's second-ranked Lu Kai and Huang Yaqiong combinations were also broken up, and Lu Kai's new partner was Tang Jinhua. Chen Qingchen is no longer a part-time event, specializing in women's doubles.
From the outsider's point of view, this split may be somewhat unreasonable. The ranking of the two mixed doubles groups is already at the top of the world, would it be better to take it apart and reorganize again? In fact, it can be seen from the results of the nearly one year's competition that these two combinations are difficult to satisfy.
BWF's latest mixed doubles rankings
The first is Zheng Siwei and Chen Qingchen, who were beaten by teammates Wang Yilu and Huang Dongping 2-0 at 16-8 at the beginning of the year; in the 2017 Sudirman Cup badminton mixed team match, the Chinese team lost 2-3 to South Korea and did not win seven consecutive championships, and Zheng Siwei/Chen Qingchen's performance was also difficult to satisfy; then the world championships in August reached the final, and finally lost 1-2 to Indonesia's Ahmed and Nasir.
Zheng Siwei and Chen Qingchen were on the field
Looking at Lu Kai and Huang Yaqiong, the final of the Su Cup mixed team competition, the two lost to south Korean players by a large score difference (17-21 13-21), and the Chinese dream shattered 7 consecutively; at the World Championships, they lost to the Hong Kong combination at 8 into 4 and missed the top 4.

Although in other super competitions, the two pairs performed relatively steadily, winning several gold medals, but the poor performance of key events really made the fans and the national badminton coaching staff heartache, I think this is also a reason for this recombination.
<h1>Zhang Nan finally changed his partner</h1>
Zhang Nan and Zhao Yunlei, a combination that had dominated the world for several years, no longer existed with the end of their relationship and Zhao Yunlei's retirement. The ensuing Li Yinhui did not allow Zhang Nan to play better, but was often "pitted".
Whether it is in the All England Championship or the World Championships, the combination of Zhang Nan and Li Yinhui was eliminated early and did not qualify for the medal. This makes Zhang Nan, an excellent doubles player, completely useless.
In this reorganization, Zhang Nan's partner Liu Xuanxuan is a real newcomer, but his performance in the Asian Youth Championship is quite OK. In addition to mixing doubles with Zhang Nan, she also combined women's doubles with Xu Ya. I don't know if the cooperation between the two will shine?
<h1>The "Lupin" combination continues
Wang Yilu and Huang Dongping can be regarded as a relatively stable and progressive group, the performance of the two in the National Games has its own advantages, recently in the Korean Open runner-up, in the Japan Open to win the championship, the continuous run-in may be more and more powerful.

The other three groups of contestants, He Jiting and Du Yue, Han Chengkai and Chen Lu (Q), and Wang Zekang and Xu Ya (Q), were also disassembled and re-paired.
<h1>The sword refers to the Tokyo Olympics
This restructuring is an important and progressive attempt by the coaching staff. Before, we all felt that the partner should be the initial good, the longer the cooperation, the more familiar, the fight is also sharp; in fact, the longer the cooperation, the more fixed the playing style of the two, the narrower the way to improve again. And long-term cooperation with a partner, will make the two of their respective advantages gradually covered up, and slowly both of them become ordinary.
Just like Zheng Siwei's backcourt attack is a strong point, and Huang Yaqiong's frontcourt performance is more stable, the cooperation between the two is a strong combination, and there is bound to be a new way of playing created by the two, strong is stronger.
Although the mixed doubles of the national feather has always been at the top of the world, the fierce competition in today's feather world cannot be relaxed. This restructuring is also the coaching team looking for the best way to cooperate for the Tokyo Olympics, and a stronger combination can rule the doubles badminton world for a longer time.
Come on Kuniwa!
