The draw for the quarterfinals of the 2024 Uber Cup has been announced, with the national team in the top half of the bracket featuring Denmark, Japan and India, and the bottom half of the bracket featuring Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea and Chinese Taipei. In terms of grouping, the national feather team is not bad, although it is in the same group as the favorite Japan, but the Japanese team competition has always been sluggish, so it is expected to break into the final.
The quarterfinals are as follows: China vs. Denmark and Japan vs. India in the top half. There should not be much suspense in these two games, and there is a good chance that China and Japan will advance to the semi-finals. The comprehensive strength of the Danish women's team is not strong, whether it is women's singles or women's doubles, it is not the opponent of the Chinese team, in addition to the Chinese team to win, it also needs to find the feeling of playing against a strong team by facing Denmark, and prepare for the later play against Japan.
Denmark's four women's singles players are Jacksfield, Ryan, Jacobsen and Schulz, while the national team will be led by Chen Yufei, He Bingjiao, Han Yue and Wang Zhiyi.
India's lineup in this tournament is not strong, whether it is women's singles or women's doubles, there is a big gap with Japan. Japan's three women's singles pairs are Akane Yamaguchi, Aya Ohori and Tomoka Miyazaki, while India's pair of Charleha, Ishani and Harb, while the Women's Doubles pair is Japan's strong suit, with Chiyo Shida/Naomi Matsuyama and Reina Miyaura/Ayako Sakuramoto both strong in the Women's Singles.
After the two teams break through the eight into four, they will meet in the semi-finals, and this game is the first tough battle that the national feather faces. Chen Yufei vs. Akane Yamaguchi, He Bingjiao and Aya Ohori, Wang Zhiyi vs. Nozomi Okuhara or Tomoka Miyazaki, Chiyo Shida/Nami Matsuyama and Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan are all unpredictable. However, fortunately, Japan's Mayu Matsumoto withdrew from the Yu Cup, and Japan only had nine players in the competition, so there were not many options for the women's doubles. This also gives the national feather an opportunity.
The battle between Thailand and Indonesia in the second half of the zone is the highlight of the eight-in-four. The strength of the two teams in singles and doubles is almost the same, and it depends on the on-the-spot performance. Thailand's Women's Singles Ge Thong, Lee Mei Miu and Busanlan, Women's Doubles Jong Gong Phan/Rawinda, Kan Raha/Muenwang, Indonesia's Women's Singles Mariska, Esther and Koman Ayu, Women's Doubles Lani/Ramadanti, Melissa/Rachel. In the group top match, Indonesia lost 2-3 to Japan, and Mariska also won Akane Yamaguchi, which shows the strength of the team.
The suspense of South Korea's game against Chinese Taipei is not too big. Chinese Taipei only has one strong point in women's singles, South Korea has a strong point in both women's singles and women's doubles, An Seying and Li Bai are ranked in the forefront of the world, and South Korea is still the defending champion, so the probability of them overturning is low. In the semifinals, South Korea has a super chance of winning against Thailand or Indonesia. China, Japan and South Korea are likely to compete for the top four spots, with Thailand and Indonesia at the top of the list.
