April 30 is the last day of the group stage of the Tongyou Cup. Prior to this, the Chinese men's and women's teams had won all of them, and the women's team had not even lost a game.
In the group stage of the Soup Cup in the evening, the Chinese men's team met the South Korean men's team.
The Chinese men's team is the favorite to win the championship, while the South Korean men's team, they only have a decent pair of men's doubles players, and the championship has nothing to do with them at all, but the Chinese team is in trouble.
In the first game, Shi Yuqi fought very fiercely against Quan Yichen. Shi Yuqi lost the first game 14-21, and when he fell behind 16-17 in the second game, Shi Yuqi rose up and scored 5 points in a row, 21-17 to achieve a difficult reversal. After winning the second game, Shi Yuqi relaxed and easily defeated his opponent 21-7 in the third game to help the Chinese team take the lead.
In the second match, Leung Wai Hang/Wang Chang will take on 2023 World Championships Men's Doubles champions Kang Min Hyuk/Seo Seung Jae.
In the first game, the Liang Wang combination lost 16-21, the second game was 21-15, and in the third game, Liang Wang took the lead at the beginning, seeing that the situation was good, but collapsed after 13 draws and lost the game 15-21. The two sides played to a 1:1 draw.
The third match was played by Li Shifeng against the little-known Li Lungui, and the Chinese team certainly had to win.
This year's Tang You Cup is the first time that Liang Weihang/Wang Chang has represented the Chinese team, and they are still a pair of newcomers to the Tang You Cup. Prior to that, they won the men's doubles title at the Asian Championships and were full of ambition, but they suffered a defeat in the group stage. The defeat of Leung Wei Keng/Wang Chang is also the first defeat of the Chinese team in this Tang You Cup.
Losing in the group stage is not necessarily a bad thing, many teams that won the men's World Cup lost in the group stage, and the Chinese men's and women's teams are worth looking forward to in this Tangyou Cup.
