Lu Guangzu and Weng Hongyang are the team's third singles candidates, and if they appear, it means that the match is dragged into the deciding match.
According to the previous draw, in the 2024 Thomas Cup, the national feather men's team is in Group A with South Korea, Canada and Australia. At the group stage, the team did not face much of a challenge, and only South Korea, a close neighbor in East Asia, could cause some problems for the national team.
Shi Yuqi as the team's No. 1 singles, the world's No. 2 "Little Stone" is in good shape this year, although he lost 1-2 to Indonesian player Jonatan in the semifinals of the just-concluded Asian Championships, but he remains healthy this season, as a singles of the team, he mainly needs to bring stability to the team.
Leung Wai Hang/Wang Chang, as the team's No. 1 doubles pair, are currently ranked No. 1 in the world and have a strong impact, and the two are relatively skilled in front of the net and in the backcourt. The only doubt is that the Liangwang combination will participate in the Thomas Cup for the first time in Chengdu, and whether they can maintain a good attitude in the big scene after their debut for a short time will have a greater impact on the team as a whole.
As a "post-00" player in the team, Li Shifeng will play as the second singles. Li Shifeng had an appearance record in the last Thomas Cup, but his performance was not impressive at that time. Li Shifeng, who has good technical and tactical ability, has always been criticized for not having a prominent temperament in the game, and he is a little restrained on the field, but he is more than calm but lacks passion. However, winning the men's singles runner-up at the Asian Championships has brought more confidence to Li Shifeng, and his performance at home in Chengdu is also worth looking forward to. The second doubles pair, Liu Yuchen and Ou Xuanyi, the former is already participating in the Thomas Cup for the fourth time, and there is no doubt that his experience will be a valuable asset for the team. However, the strength of the second doubles is not outstanding, and the lack of sufficient consistency against strong opponents will be a great test for the team.
Lu Guangzu and Weng Hongyang are the team's third singles candidates, and if they appear, it means that the match is dragged into the deciding match. The former defeated the mighty Li Zijia in the Malaysia Open at the beginning of this year and has some surprise ability, while the latter has not been outstanding this year. Overall, the Chinese men's team is slightly weaker than India and Indonesia in the selection of the third singles, which also makes the team need to try to seal the win in the first four matches. He Jiting/Ren Xiangyu's third doubles have a chance to appear in the group stage, but their first task is to experience the atmosphere of the tournament at the Chengdu 2024 Tang You Cup and accumulate more tournament experience.
