This is a Super 500 event, the national feather attaches great importance to the singles event, and has sent the main lineup to play, and the core lineup of the doubles event is rested in turn, mainly to exercise reserve strength! Because of the intensive events, there will be the Super 750 Singapore Open at the end of this month and the Super 1000 Indonesia Open at the beginning of next month, relatively speaking, these two events are more important, and the core of the national feather Shi Yuqi and Chen Yufei to participate in the Super 500 event is of little significance, and there will be no points if they don't win the championship! It's better to focus on higher-level events!
