On April 30, the Chengdu 2024 Tangyou Cup entered the fourth match day, and the group stage ushered in a number of strong dialogues.
In the morning game that started at 9:30, the national feather women's team, which has both locked the top 8 places in the You Cup, and the Indian team ushered in a direct dialogue. In the Asian team competition held in February this year, the national feathers, who did not use their main force at that time, lost 2-3 to their opponents. Today, in the shouts and cheers of the home fans, Guoyu successfully took revenge, swept the opponent 5-0 and won the first place in the group as he wished. In the entire group stage, Guoyu not only played 3 "5-0" and did not lose a game, but also performed strongly.
Compared with the previous two group games, the biggest change in today's national feather lineup is that Chen Yufei returned to the first singles position, which is the first appearance of the national feather "first sister" in this year's Tang You Cup, and He Bingjiao got the opportunity to take a turn to rest. Han Yue and Wang Zhiyi played the second and third singles respectively, while Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan and Tan Ning/Liu Shengshu appeared in the two doubles rounds, which is also the strongest lineup of the national feather women's team since the start of the tournament.
Facing the main national team and the upcoming knockout round, the Indian team rotated the lineup to better cope with the knockout matches. Today, they not only adjusted the order of the women's singles, but also hid the "one single" Ashmita Chariha in the previous two games, and sent the young player Tanvi Sharma who is not yet 16 years old to appear, and the whole team starts as "post-00s".
In her first Women's Singles match, Chen Yufei faced world No. 83 Barua and was unexpectedly 3-6 down at the start, but then she quickly recovered and won easily 21-12, 21-10. In the second Women's Doubles match, the "Fan Chen" pair faced Kangenbamm/Mishra and won 21-13, 21-12 after deliberately slowing down the tempo.

In the third women's singles match, Han Yue faced An Moor, Han Yue won 21-9 in the first game, but there were some accidents soon after the second game started - An Moor accidentally injured her right foot while saving the ball, and she couldn't hold on to the regretful retirement, and she also shed sad tears. At this time, there was also a heartwarming scene on the field, Han Yue took the initiative to step forward to care about Anmore's injury, and the audience at the High-tech Sports Center also cheered for Anmor when he left.

Chen Yufei said that he will prepare for the knockout competition next. When talking about her deepest impression of Chengdu, Chen Yufei smiled: "Everything is very good in Chengdu, especially the venue facilities, the atmosphere is also very warm, and the enthusiastic cheering of the audience makes me even more excited. Finally, Chen Yufei also wished everyone a happy May Day in advance!
