Four places have been made in the quarter-finals of the 2024 Uber Cup. In the second round of the group stage, China, South Korea and Denmark all swept their opponents with a score of 5-0 to advance, while the Indian women's team lost the first women's singles, but still defeated Singapore 4-1 with China to qualify with the overall advantage.
In Group A, China ranked first with 2 wins (10-0 wins), India ranked second with 2 wins (8-2 wins), Singapore temporarily ranked third with a win-loss advantage, and Canada ranked bottom. With only one game left to play, Singapore and Canada could not catch up with China and India in any case, so the two teams qualified for the first round early. In the final round, China and India will compete for the top spot in the group.
In this round of the game, the Chinese team continued to hide the main women's singles Chen Yufei, and sent He Bingjiao, Han Yue, and Wang Zhiyi to form the women's singles. In the first match, He Bingjiao narrowly defeated Li Wenshan 21-19, 21-19, and in the second match in Women's Doubles, the world No. 1 Fan Chen made their Uber Cup debut, sweeping Jackie/Christo in two games, 21-8, 21-6.
In the third match, Han Yue faced Zhang Wenyu, who won 21-16 and 21-13, in the fourth, Liu Shengshu/Zhang Shuxian defeated Jacelin/Eleanna 21-4, 21-9, and in the final Women's Singles, Wang Zhiyi easily defeated Cai Zhuoru 21-12, 21-7. Whether it was facing Singapore or Canada, the Chinese team did not send Chen Yufei, giving her the opportunity to rest for two consecutive days.
It is worth mentioning that Guoyu also reorganized the former women's doubles partners of Liu Shengshu and Zhang Shuxian. Before, Liu Shengshu and Zhang Shuxian partnered in the women's doubles international competition and did not make a big splash, and now both have new partners, I didn't expect Guoyu to combine the two in the Uber Cup, it is estimated that this is also a choice for changing formations. The national badminton coaching staff is evaluating the likelihood of this combination beating their main opponents.
India, on the other hand, beat Singapore 4-1. In the opening match, Yeo Jia Min defeated Charlemaga 21-15, 21-18 to help Singapore win their first victory of the tournament. India had the last laugh in the next four games, with Prija/Mishra 21-15 and 21-16 Wang Xiaoen/Jin Yujia, Ishani 21-13 and 21-16 Insilla, Singh/Ritaka 21-8 and 21-11 Li Yiting/Zan Xueyan, and Harb 21-15 and 21-13 Li Xinyi.
In Group D, South Korea and Denmark both won 2 games and won 10-0 games, but South Korea did not drop a game and Denmark lost two games, so South Korea ranked first, Denmark second, Mexico third and the United States fourth. Like Group A, third-placed Mexico and the United States have been unable to catch up with South Korea and Denmark, so the qualification spots for Group D have been announced, which are South Korea and Denmark.
Korea's second round Ahn Se-young 21-11 and 21-16 Zhang Beiwen, Kim Hye-jung/Lee So Hee 21-9 and 21-16 Xu Xinfei/Xu Yifei, Shen Youzhen 21-18 and 21-10 Esther, Jung Na Eun/Kong Hee Yong 21-8 and 21-10 He Lingling/Veronica, Kim Jialan 21-7 and 21-19 Ellarin, Denmark Ryan 21-4 and 21-11 Contreras, Jacobson 21-13 and 21-7 Haramala, Schulz 21-17 and 21-7 Sabrina, Busch/Emily 21-6 and 21-8 Contreras/Fatima, Malken/Thygesen 21-7 and 21-8 Haramara/Sabrina.
