On the eve of May Day, the national feather passed the danger and defeated the old rival South Korean team, won the first place in the group, and advanced to the quarterfinals in advance. However, judging from the process of the game, the performance of the national feather can hardly be called satisfactory. Shi Yuqi made a thrilling reversal, both doubles and lost, and the road to winning the National Feather Cup this year is destined to be difficult.
The Thomas Cup group stage is still underway, but the quarter-finals have already been decided, but the knockout stage is still unclear. However, looking at it, among the top eight, there is no good stubble, and the road to the knockout round of the national feather is difficult.
According to the rules of the game, the opponent of the Chinese team in the 1/4 finals will be one of the second places in the three groups of B, C and D. Let's take a look at who this potential opponent is?
At present, the second place in Group D has been produced, that is, Malaysia, which is also the most likely opponent of China in the quarterfinals. If the two armies meet in a narrow way, Shi Yuqi's single and Liang Wang's pair cannot be lost, it is not easy!
Looking at Group B, the second place is likely to be Chinese Taipei, whose lineup is quite similar to Malaysia, a single Lin Junyi and a pair of Li Yang/Wang Qilin, and a pair of Li Zhehui/Yang Boxuan have been in good form recently, can the national feather win? The key also depends on the combination of Shi Yuqi and Liang Wang!
Looking at Group C, the battle for the top spot is still unclear, but as the champions and runners-up of the last session, India and Indonesia are both strong teams aiming to win the championship. If the Chinese team meets these two teams, the outlook seems to be even more difficult.
Looking at the top eight opponents, the fierce opponents are around, and the pass is difficult. In fact, if the national feather wants to win the championship, it urgently needs to adjust its state, boost morale, put its position low, and spell it first, or it can make a difference, especially the two pairs of doubles, the strength is not weak, but the playing is too wavering, and the state is unpredictable, which is the biggest unknown for the Chinese team to win the championship!
In short, the knockout round of this year's soup cup, there is no easy way to go, it is the same for everyone, the national feather should be self-reliant! Without further ado, let's watch the ball!
