From April 27th to May 5th, the 2024 Badminton Thomas Cup and Uber Cup will be held in Chengdu, Sichuan. The national team fought at home and sent the strongest team to play, committed to regaining the two cup championships. However, in the group stage in the first half, due to the mediocre strength of the opponent, Guoyu also made certain choices in the lineup, targeted run-in lineup and training some players.
After the first two rounds of the group stage of the Tang Cup and You Cup, the national feather both won two consecutive victories, and the score was five consecutive wins, staging a 5-0 sweep. In the You Cup, the national team defeated the Singapore team and the Canadian team successively. On the list of appearances, there is no sister in the team, Chen Yufei, who is ranked second in the world, but He Bingjiao plays the role of the first singles in the national feather, and Han Yue and Wang Zhiyi play the role of the second singles and the third singles respectively.
In fact, from the singles list arrangement of the Uber Cup group stage of the national feather women's team, it can be seen that the competition for the second choice of the Olympic Games that was rumored before was not clear in the team. In addition to Chen Yufei locked the first place early, He Bingjiao, Han Yue and Wang Zhiyi, at the end of the Olympic points competition, the world rankings were all in the top eight, that is to say, all three of them theoretically won the Olympic tickets, if it is not purely based on the ranking of points, then the three still have the opportunity to be inspected and evaluated. At that time, a source revealed that the Uber Cup will become an important venue for the selection of the national women's singles Paris Olympics.
In the group stage of this year's Uber Cup, the Chinese team was also in the same group as Singapore, Canada, and India. Among the three teams, there are many top players in the world's top 16 such as Yang Jiamin, Li Wenshan, and Sindhu. Therefore, it is also an excellent training opportunity for the national feather women's singles. In addition, the first sister Chen Yufei still has hidden injuries, so the precious time is left for her to recuperate, but it gives He Bingjiao, Han Yue and Wang Zhiyi the opportunity to practice.
From yesterday's first match against Singapore to today's matchup against Canada, He Bingjiao faced Yang Jiamin and Li Wenshan, and showed a very high level, defeating Singapore's first sister Yang Jiamin 21-15, 21-13, and defeating Canada's first sister Li Wenshan 21-19, 21-19. In addition, Han Yue and Wang Zhiyi also completed the task very well, and won the opponent in two games in a row. I believe that with He Bingjiao's consecutive victories against her rivals, she will also add a lot of points to the second women's singles competition in the Paris Olympics. With the arrival of the follow-up knockout rounds, Chen Yufei will return, and He Bingjiao will return to the familiar second singles position, and she will also play a crucial role in connecting the past and the next.
