After more than a week of silence today, the world badminton war is back in flames, and the Thailand Open Badminton Championships will kick off today. The qualifying round is played at 10 a.m., and the main match starts at 6 p.m. Many of the top players did not participate in this badminton tournament because the Olympic points competition has ended and the BWF has announced the quota for the Olympic Games. The level of this station is not too high, so they chose to recuperate and try to recuperate before the Olympics. However, as the hosts, Thailand had all the best players involved in the match, with world No. 6 Dechapol/Sapsiree competing on the first day, with Cheng Xing/Li Qian in action.
1. Dechapol/Sapsiree vs Kim Young-yi/Lee Youlin
Dechapol/Sapsiree, currently ranked sixth in the world, have won the World Championships, but their results in the past two years have not been particularly obvious, and they have gradually faded out of the first group in the mixed doubles rankings. This year's 19-6 win rate is only 76 percent. That being said, against the world Mixed Doubles No. 109 Kim Young-yi/Lee You-lin, Dechapol/Sasiri should be able to win. The South Korean pair Lee Youlin mainly plays women's doubles and has been partnering with Shin Seung-chan. Jin Rongyi also plays mainly in men's doubles. In the face of this temporary pairing, there is no reason why Sasilin should not win, it just depends on how many points he can beat his opponent.
2. Cheng Xing/Li Qian vs Olexi/Kantemere
The Guoyu pair should be a temporary combination, and Cheng Xing has partnered with Chen Fanghui and Zhang Chi a lot before. He is ranked the highest with Chen Menghui, the latest world No. 26, and with Zhang Chi, he is ranked No. 50 in the world. Cheng Xing has played a total of 22 games this year, with 15 wins and 7 losses, and the winning rate is 68%. It's not bad for a young player. Cheng Xing should occupy a place in the national team in the future. Ranked No. 122 in the world in mixed doubles, Cheng Xing/Li Qian should be a reasonable opponent to win, and if they fail, it will be an upset.
3. Bicha Dream vs Jisuna
It's a qualifying tournament, and the reason why this qualifying tournament is remarkable is because of Bichamon. She is the face of the world badminton world. Although ranked only 97th in the world, she is the women's singles hopeful star of Thai badminton, only 17 years old, the champion of the World Youth Badminton Championships, and is known as the second Intanon by the Thai badminton community, Intanon has won the World Championships at the age of 17. His opponent is Jisuna, who is ranked 90th in the world, and it looks like a tough match, but Bichamon has the advantage of home and may have a better chance of winning.
There is another match for the national feather today, the mixed doubles of Zhou Zhihong/Yang Jiayi.
