On April 10, Beijing time, the 2024 Badminton Asian Championships will reach its second match day. National badminton players Shi Yuqi, Chen Yufei, Chen Qingchen, Jia Yifan and others will appear today. In yesterday's match, the national feather achieved a record of 1 win and 1 loss, men's singles player Weng Hongyang retired due to injury, women's doubles pair Fan Chen defeated Indonesian pair Lenny/Libika 2-0, and men's doubles pair Liu Yuchen Ou Xuanyi did not play, but their Olympic qualification is basically secure.
The tournament kicked off on April 9 in Ningbo, China, as the final ranking event before the Paris Olympics, with the equivalent of a Super1000 and a key battle for Olympic qualification.
In men's doubles, in addition to the world's third-ranked Liang Wang, the world's eighth-ranked Liu Yuchen Ou Xuanyi still needs to work hard, and the main competitors are the world's ninth-ranked Indonesian men's doubles pair Fikri/Maulana.
The first match of the national badminton team was played by men's singles player Weng Hongyang against Taiwan's Chou Tien Cheng, who had met in the quarter-finals of the 2023 Australian Open Badminton Championships, where Weng Hongyang won 2-0. However, Weng Hongyang chose to retire after losing 16-21 in the first game, and Zhou Tiancheng successfully advanced to the round of 16.
World No. 1 Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan have not performed well this year, winning only the French Open Badminton Championships and the All England Open reaching the round of 16. They led 21-15 in the first game, and went into the break 11-10 in the second game, despite stubborn resistance from their opponents. They then went on a 10-4 shock wave to win 21-14 and advance to the round of 16.
In Men's Doubles, world ninth-ranked Indonesian duo Fikri/Maulana were beaten by world No.23 Thailand's Supak/Gitinubong, who came back from 1-0 down to beat Indonesians 2-1 to advance to the round of 16.
With Fikri/Maulana out, Liu Yuchen and Ou Xuanyi's Olympic qualification is almost assured, and the national team will be expected to qualify for all 10 full quotas, becoming the first team to achieve this goal.
In the women's singles, world No. 1 An Seying was challenged by Japanese world champion Nozomi Okuhara, and after the two sides drew 1-1, the tiebreaker has not yet begun.
