Looking at the quarterfinals of this tournament, the performance of Chinese players is basically normal. Looking forward to the semi-finals, Men's Singles Antonsen vs Kunlavu is a strong matchup, Ginting is relatively easy; Women's Singles He Bingjiao vs Wang Zhiyi, the outcome is unpredictable, but no matter who advances, the final is not fully sure of the resurgence of Okuhara Hope; Men's Doubles Tuou Combination is not easy to pass, and the final match is most likely to be Shuanga Pair vs Asstrup/Anders; Women's Doubles Guoyu is in the best situation, the Shengshu Combination has great hopes, Cosine Combination vs. Zongkong Pan/Rawinda is unpredictable; Mixed Doubles IELTS Pair faces old opponent Jin Yuanhao/ Zheng Nayin, it is a decisive battle that comes early, and it is bound to encounter a tough battle, and the opponent in the final is likely to be Midorikawa Daiki/Saito Natsu. Comprehensive analysis, the results of the national feather tournament are not optimistic, and it is likely to repeat the mistake of winning the first championship in India. This time, our hopes are pinned on the IELTS combination of mixed doubles and the holy book combination of women's doubles.
