"I think it's still a bit of an adaptation, getting used to the speed of the ball, the direction of the wind, the lighting, and the feeling of the game. Chen Yufei said after the game. Chen Yufei said: "I feel that being a cheerleader will be more relaxed mentally, and the game will be more intense. Chen Yufei said that she did not pay much attention to the performance of players from other associations, "The opponents faced in the group stage are not particularly strong, and the confrontation on the field is not particularly fierce, so I can't see what the real state is. ”
China's No. 1 Women's Doubles Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan then defeated India's Kangenbamm/Mishra 21-13, 21-12 in a way that made the Tongyou Cup the most important warm-up before the Olympics and a good opportunity for the pair to find out their rivals. When the two talked about which opponent they wanted to fight the most, Jia Yifan said: "We haven't played against South Korea's Kim Zhaoying/Kong Xirong for a long time, and it's a pity that Kim Zhaoying didn't come this time, if she has an injury, I still hope she recovers soon." ”
Han Yue and An Mor in the second game of the game, An Mor withdrew from the game because of a broken foot, Han Yue said after the game when talking about the next knockout round: "The more you go to the back, you will definitely meet stronger opponents, and you must face every game below with a more rigorous and positive attitude." ”
In the next two icing on the cake, Tan Ning/Liu Shengshu defeated Xin Lan/Ritica 2:0, and Wang Zhiyi also defeated Tanvi Sharma 2:0, and the Chinese women's team played the third 5:0 since the start of the tournament.
