The 2023 season of the International Badminton League has come to an end, and the draw for the 2024 India Open has also ended. From January 16 to January 21, 2024, the India Open will be the second event of the next season. This event is a Super 750 event, and it is also a race with a lot of gold. The draw for the Chinese national badminton team was also mixed.
In men's singles, the Chinese national badminton team has a total of four players competing in the India Open, namely Shi Yuqi, Li Shifeng, Lu Guangzu and Weng Hongyang, and Shi Yuqi and Weng Hongyang will play a Chinese derby in the first round. Judging from the past records of the two sides, Shi Yuqi is superior. It is also expected to teach his teammates a good lesson again. Judging from Weng Hongyang's performance next season and the first few games of this season, the previous round of matches was a very strong opponent. It's likely to be a run of consecutive rounds. In addition, Lu Guangzu's opponent is the Japanese star Kenta Nishimoto, who also had a very good performance last season. In addition, Li Shifeng is the men's singles champion of this season's Asian Games and the All England Men's Singles Championship, and his opponent at the India Open is Singapore's Loh Kean Yew. Yesterday was in the offseason, and I also gained a lot and my girlfriend is also about to be happy. The two of them also recently took a very perfect set of wedding photos. I look forward to my wedding as scheduled.
In addition, in men's doubles. Liu Yuchen, who complained about the draw at the Malaysia Open in the opening game of next season, was not very strong in the first two rounds of the Indian Open. And the strongest opponents in the semi-finals are only Xie Dingfeng and Su Weiyi. Liu Yuchen and Ou Xuanyi still have a chance to challenge for the Indian Open title. Also, in women's doubles. Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan will be challenged by their teammates Liu Xuanxuan and Li Wenshu. In addition, in the women's singles, the Chinese national badminton team still sent six players to the competition, including a derby in the first round of matchups. Zhang Yiman and Wang Zhiyi are the only two Chinese players to make it to the round of 16 of the India Open, while Gao Fangjie faces Tai Tzu Ying in the first round, and Chen Yufei will face Kim Jiaen again.
In addition, in the mixed doubles, the Chinese national badminton team still sent three pairs to participate in the competition, and Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong are still the players with the most ability to challenge for the championship. The Chinese mixed doubles team is even more likely to face in the upper half of the tournament, while the most likely final opponents for the Chinese national badminton team in the lower half are Yuta Watanabe and Arisa Higashino, or Seo Seung-jae and Choi Yoo-hyeong.
