On May 1, the group stage of the Tang You Cup in Chengdu, China, was played, and then the draw ceremony for the knockout round was held, and the draw results were released:
Thomas Cup:
Top Half: China vs. India, Japan vs. Malaysia, Bottom Half: Indonesia vs. South Korea, Denmark vs. Taipei.
Uber:
Upper half: China vs. Denmark, Japan vs. India, bottom half: South Korea vs. Chinese Taipei, Thailand vs. Indonesia.
Discerning people know at a glance that the host Chinese team actually drew the men's and women's teams.
The strongest opponents of the Chinese men's team in the Tang Cup are India and Indonesia, among them, the Indian team was the champion of the previous edition, but this time it lost to Indonesia and did not win the group. Then, the first place in the 4 groups, China, Japan, Indonesia, and Denmark, whoever meets the Indian team can only say that they are unlucky, but the Chinese team has met it.
However, the Chinese men's team is not yet signed, at least, the two favorites Indonesia and Denmark will fight in the other half, while the other possible opponent of the Chinese team in this half is relatively weak.
Compared with the Chinese men's team, the Chinese women's team is even worse signed, and it is completely signed.
The main opponents of the Chinese women's team in the You Cup are two, one is the Japanese team and the other is the South Korean team. The signing of the Chinese women's team is to finish playing Japan and South Korea, and a strong team cannot be missing.
We all know that there are many ways to draw lots, but this time, the Chinese team, as the host, is too honest, and at a glance, we know that we have not made any fuss about the draw.
Of course, this is probably also a sign of self-confidence of the Chinese team. No matter how the contract is signed, if there is strength, there is indeed nothing to be afraid of. Let's look forward to the performance of the Chinese team.
